Holborn Cottage, Blencathra Street, is a delightful retreat situated only a stone’s throw away from the bustling streets of Keswick’s town centre. With the advantage of off-road parking for two cars and the convenience of EV charging, this pet-friendly haven is perfect for families or friends seeking a memorable escape amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Upon entering the property, you will
find to the right a spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped for all your culinary needs. Here, you can enjoy home-cooked meals at the dining table, whilst planning the day’s adventures. A handy utility can be found off the kitchen and provides room to store and dry walking equipment as well as a washing machine/dryer. It also has a separate door to the garden which provides access when wearing muddy boots or for dogs with muddy paws. At the left of the front door, you will find a cosy sitting room with Smart TV and Netflix along with a woodburning stove set in a striking inglenook fireplace, offers a warm spot to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside. A convenient cloakroom with a WC and basin completes the ground floor layout. Upstairs, you will find two well-presented bedrooms, both featuring super-king-size beds and ample storage. The first bedroom benefits from a dressing room with a vanity unit, providing a light and airy space to prepare for the day. This room also enjoys the fells and includes an en-suite shower, basin and WC. The second bedroom is equally as inviting, offering a serene space to rest. The property also features a modern bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin, shaver socket and WC, so why not un-lace your hiking books and indulge in a bubbly soak or an invigorating shower to wash the day away? Outside, the rear garden with a patio and furniture provides a tranquil spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, whilst taking in the tranquil surroundings. Venture out to gleefully discover Keswick’s charming attractions; starting with the ancient and mystical Castlerigg Stone Circle. Find serenity in Hope Park’s well-tended gardens, and feel your curiosity awakened at Puzzling Place with its array of optical illusion exhibits. Meander to the serene Friars Crag for a moment of calm and continue to tread to the quaint Ashness Bridge, a lovely point from which to view the surrounding Lakeland countryside. Feed your adventurous side at the Keswick Climbing Wall and Rookery Woods Adventure Park where all ages can get their adrenaline fix. Enjoy the brisk walk over to Crow Park and gaze over the picturesque views of Derwentwater, or challenge yourself with an invigorating day of canoeing and bushcraft activities with Keswick Canoe & Bushcraft.
