A stone-built property wonderfully converted from a former boat building workshop, Plosh House offers six guests a beautiful dwelling including many contemporary conveniences whilst retaining the traditional character of the property, originally built around 1840.
Benefitting from a unique location, just a stone’s throw from the centre of Keswick in the Lake District, yet tucked away in a private location, with its own parking and enclosed garden. Built over two floors, the furnishings throughout the property are high-quality and stylish, with Farrow & Ball colours, original wood and slate floors, and the added benefit for underfloor heating throughout.
Step into the front door through the stone porch leading to the stunning open-plan living space where bespoke kitchen units, granite worktops, and a range cooker will all surely catch your eye, as well as plush seating to relax on and a Smart TV to watch, and a breakfast bar and dining area. A handy utility area boasts a washing machine and tumble dryer, with a cloakroom also on the ground floor, along with a lovely king-size bedroom with en-suite WC. Travel upstairs, holding the handrail made from a pair of original oars, leading onto the first floor where a large gable ceiling rests above the Mediterranean styled sitting room, with three windows to illuminate the room and a Juliet balcony, to open up on a sunny day.
Light the woodburning stove up here in the winter months while you enjoy a favourite film on the Smart TV or simply soak up the views out to Causey Pike and Grisedale, with oak stairs leading up to a mezzanine seating area with a desk and Velux windows.
A large family bathroom is home to an impressive freestanding cast iron bath to soak in, while the two remaining bedrooms both boast super-king-size beds, with one able to be a twin on request and featuring a Juliet balcony and a beautiful en-suite shower room.
Spend time in the wonderful enclosed garden when you’re not out exploring, with a south-facing aspect for enjoying all the sun in the summer months and a gazebo when you need shade.
Venture into the town centre of Keswick which is just a short stroll away, and discover streets lined with shops, both independent and well-known favourites, along with pubs and restaurants to sample delicious food. Derwentwater is a hub for sailing and watersports like paddle-boarding and kayaking, with boat and equipment hire available locally you can begin your own adventure on the water, admiring the beautiful scenery as you go.
Enjoy a walk around the lake or a cycle if you prefer dry land, heading down to excellent viewpoint spots like Surprise View at the southern end of the lake. Castlerigg Stone Circle makes more a lovely ramble, while the two larger challenges of Skiddaw and Blencathra are great for a day’s walk reaching the summits for impeccable scenery. A scenic drive can bring you up to Bassenthwaite, Mirehouse & Gardens, Ullswater, and Scafell Pike, so there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained.
Enjoy a special break to the Lakes staying at the unique Plosh House.
