Property code: OC-89257

An attractive Lakeland stone townhouse located around 150 metres from central Keswick. This property offers a great base to explore the Lakes either on foot, bike, car or by bus. The town is surrounded by mountains, inlcuding Skiddaw and Blencathra, and located between Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite - all under 6 miles. Castlerigg Stone Circle is less than 2 miles away, dating back to the Neolithic era. Derwentwater is just half a mile away, there are eight jetties where you can hop on and off the boat to explore. Pop to Keswick’s Theatre by the Lake to take in a show and visit Crow Park, which is opposite; you can get 360-degree views of the mountains along with stunning views down the lake towards the exceptionally beautiful Borrowdale valley.

A charming patio area sits outside the front door. As you enter the property you will find yourself in the hallway. The ground floor has attractive oak flooring with underfloor heating which offers you a warm welcome. Off the hallway opposite the entrance, there is a handy utility room. Next door you will find a bathroom with a walk-in shower which is ideal after a long walk or if you have been enjoying some water sports. Heading through into the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, this room offers a great social space to plan for your days ahead or discuss your day's adventures. There is a cosy gas effect log burner to curl up in front of, listen to some of your favourite tunes on the Sonos sound system or enjoy a good movie on the Smart TV with Sky package. On a nice evening, enjoy dinner at the dining table and open the bi-folding doors out to the patio - it is a really lovely spot to enjoy a hearty breakfast before you head off for the day. Head up the glass-sided staircase from the lounge to the first floor, where you will find a pretty double en-suite bedroom. A step down from the hallway takes you into a spacious super-king-size bedroom with dual views making it bright and airy. Directly next door you will find a bathroom with a bath to kick back and relax in.

At the front of the property, there is a pretty, enclosed courtyard garden with raised flower beds and seating. This is a real suntrap and is a great place to relax with a coffee in the morning and listen to the birds.

Well positioned and very comfortable cottage for a small family. very well equipped. Parking can be tight if you have a large car since other road users park on both sides of a fairly narrow street. I recommend parking in the street rather than attempting to manoeuvre into the bay.

Generally a brilliantly well equipped cottage in an excellent location and with a parking space too! There were a few maintenance issues we found as the week went on (as there always are in rental cottages), which we have raised with the owners and property management company but nothing that affected our lovely stay.

We cannot recommend Century Cottage highly enough. It is extremely comfortable, within easy walking distance of shop and restaurants. The equipment is top of the range. There is a convenient cloakroom which also acts as a drying room. Everything you would need for a visit to Keswick. This was our fourth time of staying here. Gordon & Annie.

This is an excellent holiday home, perfect as a walking base in Keswick. It is extremely convenient for all of the towns amenities. The parking space is a great asset for a smaller car and we had no problem with on street parking for a larger car. The house is very well equipped with top quality kitchen items; three super bath/shower rooms; the bedRead morerooms are very comfortable and especially the larger has spacious hanging/ clothes storage. You would be very lucky to get better anywhere. Hide

Very comfortable cottage in great location. On site parking is a major advantage - as is the utility room with washing m/c, dryer, additional fridge, additional freezer, boot storage and drying cabinet. We had fine weather and so had no need for the drying cabinet but I imagine this would will be incredibly useful after wet weather.
