3 Bed in Bassenthwaite (oc-lr197)

Whether you're looking to explore walking trails, enjoy water activities on Bassenthwaite Lake, or simply relax, this Victorian retreat promises a memorable, family-friendly getaway in the heart of the Lake District. Stanley House is wonderfully cool during hot weather, providing a comfortable retreat in the summer months, while the open fire creates a warm and cosy atmosphere during the colder seasons. With Bassenthwaite Lake on your doorstep, this cottage is perfectly placed for those who love the outdoors. Walkers and cyclists will find plenty of routes nearby, from peaceful woodland trails in Setmurthy, 2.5 miles away, to the rewarding climb of Sale Fell, 2 miles away, offering breathtaking views from the top. A riverside stroll at Isel, 5.5 miles away, is another scenic option. The nearby Bassenthwaite Lake Station cafe and restaurant, less than half a mile away, features carriages from the film set of Murder on the Orient Express. The bustling market town of Keswick, brimming with independent shops, can be reached within 8 miles.


Featuring high ceilings, original features, and spacious interiors, this inviting home-away-from-home offers a truly peaceful retreat to return to after a day's adventure on the fells. The welcoming lounge features a beautiful bay window that bathes the space in natural light, a period open fire, and elegant double doors that lead through to the sophisticated dining room. Occupying the rear of the ground floor, the contemporary country cottage-style kitchen offers ample storage and workspace, providing everything you need to get creative with your local produce. A separate utility room adds extra convenience. Ascending the staircase, the half landing presents a spacious family bathroom and a delightful additional wet room. Continuing to the first floor, you'll find three blissful bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed for relaxation. The super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom, which can be configured as a twin upon request, boasts breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside, making it a truly tranquil retreat. The twin bedroom overlooks the charming rear garden with a backdrop of Binsey, while the cosy single bedroom enjoys picturesque views over the front of the cottage.


Step outside to discover a delightful rear garden featuring a neatly maintained lawn and a patio, perfect for unwinding with a morning coffee or a glass of something sparkling at sundown. The enclosed rear yard offers a secure space for dogs. Outside, you'll find off-road parking for two cars.
