HillCrest22 The Heads, Keswick, Lake District National Park A Rare lifestyle and hospitality opportunity in one of the Lake District’s most iconic settings. HillCrest22 is a family run guesthouse in Keswick. With its eight en-suite rooms, and separate manager accommodation, it provides a haven for relaxation in the heart of the Lake District. With panoramic uninterrupted views over Derwentwater to the head of Borrowdale, HillCrest22 is ideally situated, with 22 of the ‘Wainwright’s fells’ visible from the guesthouse. The size, layout and versatility of the accommodation mean the property would also make a superb family home.  Positioned in the prestigious area ‘The Heads’ in Keswick, HillCrest22 is an exceptional Victorian guesthouse that effortlessly blends heritage, contemporary Scandinavian-inspired design, and commercial opportunity. Originally constructed in 1887 by the then Lord of the Manor, Reginald Dykes Marshall, the property has been sympathetically transformed into one of Keswick’s most stylish and highly regarded guesthouses. Behind the handsome period façade lies an interior carefully curated by an acclaimed Danish architectural practice. Traditional craftsmanship and original Victorian character have been thoughtfully combined with clean contemporary styling, natural materials, and premium finishes throughout. Currently operating as a successful and well-established hospitality business, HillCrest22 presents a rare opportunity to acquire an award-worthy lifestyle property in arguably one of the finest positions within the Lake District National Park.   Accommodation  Entrance & Reception Areas A traditional entrance porch immediately sets the tone, featuring striking Victorian geometric tiled flooring and beautiful stained-glass windows. Beyond, the welcoming reception hall showcases one of the property’s defining design features — an impressive glass wall and bespoke glazed doors which allow natural light to flow effortlessly through the building while subtly separating the dining and reception spaces. Throughout the property there is a remarkable cohesion between old and new. Original features sit comfortably alongside Scandinavian influences, creating interiors that feel both luxurious and understated.   Dining Room Positioned at the front of the property, the dining room enjoys an elevated bay window with spectacular panoramic views across the parkland towards Cat Bells and the surrounding Lakeland fells. This elegant space combines warmth and sophistication, centred around a modern log-burning stove set within a beautiful marble fireplace. A second decorative fireplace enhances the symmetry and character of the room, while decorative chandeliers add refinement and atmosphere. Particularly noteworthy is the flooring — solid Dinesen Douglas Fir laid in single continuous lengths, creating an exceptional sense of quality and craftsmanship. Underfloor heating provides additional comfort beneath.   Kitchen & Service Areas A glazed door leads into the kitchen, where minimalist Scandinavian styling meets practical commercial functionality. Stainless steel worktops and cabinetry provide generous preparation space and durability, while maintaining the clean architectural aesthetic seen throughout the property. The kitchen is centred around an impressive double-width Rangemaster featuring: * Five induction hobs * Twin ovens * Separate grill * Warming drawer   To the rear sits a substantial pantry and washing-up area fitted with a commercial-grade dishwasher, large stainless-steel sink, and industrial rinse head. Beautiful slate flooring offers both practicality and a premium finish, while a large sash window fills the space with natural light and overlooks the rear courtyard. Underfloor heating continues throughout.   Ground Floor Facilities Further along the rear corridor is a guest bathroom complete with bath and shower over, ideal for walkers returning from the surrounding fells. Beyond this is a generous laundry and drying room, perfectly suited for outdoor equipment, walking boots, and cycling gear.   This area also benefits from:  * Additional WC * Three substantial storage cupboards * External access to the rear courtyard   Lower Ground Floor HillCrest22 benefits from a highly versatile lower ground floor level, accessed internally from the main hall but also benefitting from its own independent external entrance. Currently arranged as an office and conference suite, this flexible space offers excellent potential for private meetings, wellness uses, events, or additional commercial income streams. Guest Accommodation The upper floors provide eight beautifully appointed double guest bedrooms, each with its own luxurious en-suite bathroom. The front-facing rooms are truly exceptional, commanding uninterrupted panoramic views across Derwentwater and towards some of the Lake District’s most iconic fells, including Cat Bells, Grisedale Pike and Walla Crag. The elevated position means the outlook only improves further on the upper levels. Every bedroom has been individually crafted using bespoke joinery by local craftsmen, with interiors designed around natural textures, calming pastel tones, and high-quality materials. Larch flooring, high ceilings, and original coving combine to create peaceful and refined spaces. The en-suite bathrooms are finished to an exceptional standard, featuring:  * Carrara marble tiling * Underfloor heating * Heated shower tray areas * Recessed frameless glass shower screens * Whole-house ventilation system for moisture control without noisy extractor fans The overall finish throughout the accommodation is of a standard rarely seen within the guesthouse market.   The Self-Contained Apartment To the rear of the property is a superb one-bedroom self-contained apartment, ideal as manager’s accommodation or an additional income-producing holiday let. Designed in an upside-down configuration, the apartment provides: Ground Floor * Double bedroom * Contemporary shower room with slate tiling   First Floor * Open-plan kitchen, dining and living area * Log-burning stove * Vaulted ceilings with Velux rooflights * Large pantry/storage room   The apartment benefits from:  * Underfloor heating throughout * Independent combi boiler   Outside Externally, HillCrest22 enjoys beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens bordered by traditional slate walls and pathways.

To the rear is a private courtyard and parking area suitable for approximately three vehicles.   Location – The Heads, Keswick HillCrest22 occupies one of Keswick’s most desirable and peaceful positions. The Heads is renowned for its elevated outlook, tranquillity, and immediate access to the natural beauty that defines the Lake District National Park. Despite being only a short and pleasant walk from Keswick town centre, the setting feels remarkably private and immersed in nature. From the principal rooms, the outlook is almost entirely uninterrupted greenery, mature trees, Lakeland fells, and Derwentwater itself. In fact, only two buildings are visible from many of the windows — the Theatre by the Lake and a distant farmhouse — preserving an exceptionally natural and unspoilt panorama rarely found so close to town amenities. Keswick itself remains one of the Lake District’s most vibrant and sought-after towns, offering an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, galleries and outdoor facilities. The area is internationally renowned for walking, cycling, climbing and water sports, with direct access to some of the region’s most famous Wainwrights and landscapes straight from the doorstep. This is a location that delivers both peace and convenience in equal measure.   The Business HillCrest22 was acquired by the current owners in 2010, with an extensive back-to-brick renovation undertaken over the following three years. The scale of works included: * Complete rewiring * New plumbing systems * New plasterwork * Replacement windows * Full interior redesign The business officially opened in 2013 and has since established itself as a highly regarded and successful family-run guesthouse with a loyal customer base and strong reputation.

With spectacular sea views from every room, this is as close to island living as you will get, without having to leave the shore.  Balcary Tower is wonderfully situated and comprises a traditional C Listed tower house with integral garage, set within a very private location amongst mature and well-maintained grounds. The property boasts some of the most incredible coastal and mountain vistas in the UK and enjoys direct beach access, with a tidal swimming pool, private slipway and large, modern boathouse. In addition, there are lovely, mature wooded garden grounds, superb terraces for alfresco entertaining, and a 12 acre paddock.  The property was originally built in 1860 by Colonel Johnstone, who was the Laird of Auchencairn House, and we understand it to have been built for his French governess and mistress. The Tower was extended in the 1960s and 70s and then completely overhauled and renovated in 2012.  During this recent renovation no stone was left unturned, and the house was also rewired, replumbed and had a new waste treatment plant installed, at the time.  Balcary Tower is presently run as very successful luxury holiday let (winning a Gold ‘Gem’ award with Sykes in 2025) but would equally lend itself to being a fantastic family home.    Rare to the market, with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout and stunning views from every room, this property really needs to be viewed in person to be truly appreciated.   Accommodation Balcary Tower offers flexible and spacious accommodation, with 4 double bedrooms and 2-3 reception rooms. High quality fixtures and fittings are evident throughout. The open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room is a wonderful entertaining space and enjoys sea views from two elevations.  The kitchen would appeal to any chef, with an abundance of storage, granite worksurfaces and a large central island.  Top of the range appliances include a Liebherr fridge freezer and Gaggenau steam oven, electric oven with warming drawer, and dishwasher and there is a bespoke dining bench and table.  The living area offers ample space for furniture, enjoys a modern wood burning stove and boasts fantastic views over the pool and out to sea, with direct access to a raised terrace via French doors.  The drawing room and dining room are located at the opposite end of the house, and the two rooms are connected by a few shallow steps.  Naturally, both rooms offer unrivalled coastal views, and the drawing room also has a wood burning stove and French doors that lead out to a gravelled terrace. Also on the ground floor is a bright double bedroom, with ‘Jack and Jill’ ensuite shower room, a useful utility room, cloakroom/WC and a storage cupboard. On the first floor, two very attractive bedroom suites can be found. The principal bedroom suite boasts a triple aspect, with charming sash windows, working shutters and a generous walk-in wardrobe/dressing room. The ensuite bathroom has an incredible, large picture window overlooking the sea, with a central bath, generous shower, and fitted storage.   The second bedroom on the first floor also enjoys a triple aspect with sash windows and working shutters, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom comprising shower over bath. On the second floor another bright and well-proportioned double bedroom can be found, again which enjoys a triple aspect and incredible views, and there is an adjacent bathroom comprising shower over the bath.  From the second floor there is a wooden staircase rising to an insulated and electronically operated roof hatch, giving access to the roof of the tower, and offering 360-degree views of the estuary, Hestan Island, the mountains, garden and surrounding countryside.    Outside The property is approached via Shore Road from Auchencairn, which is a quiet road that follows the shoreline to the private entrance to Balcary Tower.  A gated entrance and tarmac driveway winds through the wooded grounds, following the shoreline, to generous parking and turning areas by the house and boathouse.  There are various areas from which to sit and enjoy the coastal views, including sheltered terraces, ideal for alfresco entertaining.  There is direct beach access, which is quite remarkable and really makes the beach an extension of the grounds. The gardens are landscaped into the natural sloping topography of the land around and behind the house.  To the rear of the property a path leads up to a lovely, wooded garden, filled with specimen trees, rhododendrons and other mature shrubs and plants.  There is a pond, winding paths lead through the trees, and there is a lawned area housing raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse, and a separate fruit garden. An area of woodland, with rhododendrons and azaleas also flank the driveway and provide a high level of privacy.   The rock-cut swimming pool fills naturally with sea water at high tide and has a sluice gate so that water can be changed if necessary.  This offers an infinity style pool setting and brings wild swimming to your doorstep! Finally, the property enjoys haaf (half) netting fishing rights, which is a traditional method of catching fish.  It requires an angler to stand waist-deep with a large, handheld net, and by law the net cannot be fixed, stuck in the mud, or left unattended.  Dumfries & Galloway Council issue the annual haaf net permits.  Boathouse There is a large steel framed shed (15m x 8m) which was constructed in 2013 and serves as a boathouse and office/workshop space, located opposite to the slipway.  The boathouse has a concrete floor, steel stairs to a generous mezzanine area, power and light, hot and cold running water, an electric roller door, and separate pedestrian access. Land The paddock extends to just under 12 acres and would be ideal for grazing of small animals or perhaps for equestrian use.  There is ample space to erect buildings suitable for animals in the field, subject to consents.  Access and Rights of Way Balcary Tower is accessed via a half mile private driveway leading from the end of the public road at Balcary Bay. The owners of The Boat House further around the peninsula have a right of access over the first 100 yards of the driveway and over the track through the paddock. A public footpath passes through the paddock and skirts the southeastern woodland boundary of the title.

As they say, location, location, location. With a prime location on a quiet cul-de-sac of highly individual prime properties in the heart of the sought after Conservation Area village of Arkholme, The Parrock enjoys an enviable setting commanding tremendous, unobscured panoramic views in a westerly direction. The Parrock, the name taken from the old English for paddock or field, is a truly impressive modern detached house. Designed by local architects Mason Gillibrand and has been built in the style of the Arts & Crafts Movement, with a strong nod towards the Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Filled with natural light, the extensive accommodation is well proportioned and has a well-considered layout as well as high specification and innovative fittings ensuring it is both easy to run and a pleasure to occupy. On offer is a porch, glazed vestibule, reception hall with cloakroom, fabulous double height open plan living kitchen, utility room, home office/cinema, first floor galleried sitting room, five double bedrooms, three of which are ensuite in addition to a house bathroom. A double garage is attached as is a boiler room.  Benefitting from the glorious open views every bit as much as the house, sunny gardens surround the property with established planting, a super split-level deck, a kitchen garden and ample parking. Rural but not remote, there is great access to the motorway, road and rail networks whether travelling for work or pleasure and with full fibre gigabit broadband provision, working from home has never been easier.  This is an excellent family house delivering on every level. Looking back on our time here it’s been a wonderful place to bring up a family. It’s homely, a hug of a house. Location One of the English countryside’s unspoilt gems, the Lune Valley begins just a few minutes’ drive from Lancaster and borders both the Forest of Bowland AONB and the national park of the Yorkshire Dales. With a backdrop of green and gently undulating fells, at the heart of which is the meandering river, the Lune Valley has long been a sought-after place to live; thriving local communities have taken root in picturesque villages and hamlets with a great choice of destination country pubs. This is a wonderful place to live if you value life in the countryside but equally rate excellent road and rail links. Highly picturesque, Arkholme is a well-regarded and popular choice for those seeking a quiet village setting with direct access to the surrounding countryside. The village sits astride the B6254, with The Parrock located on Main Street, an impressive cul-de-sac which runs from the main road down to the River Lune. It is this road that the art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner describes as “a very pretty street” in the Pevsner Architectural Guide to The Buildings of England. Arkholme’s thriving local community is centered around the village hall which has a busy diary of events throughout the year and hosts numerous local groups and classes. Within Arkholme is a primary school and church. As a point of interest, Arkholme is one of only two Thankful Villages in Lancashire; those rare places that suffered no fatalities during the Great War of 1914 -1918. In terms of local amenities, Arkholme is almost equidistant between Kirkby Lonsdale and Carnforth; each town has much to offer in terms of services. Kirkby Lonsdale is nearest (5.3 miles distant) and has a busy main street of independent retailers, bars, cafes and  restaurants as well as all the usual amenities; doctors, dentists, opticians, hairdressers and barbers, a Post Office and branch of Booths supermarket. There is also an excellent Thursday market offering fresh local produce. Carnforth (6 miles away) offers not only Booths, but also Tesco, Aldi and the Co-op. For a greater choice, the city of Lancaster is to hand having much to offer all generations with established cultural and music scenes, bars and restaurants, an excellent range of national and independent retailers, professional and health care services. Connectivity is a major selling point of life here in Arkholme. Transport links are to hand with convenient access onto the M6 at either J35 or J36 depending on the direction of your travel and train stations on the main West Coast line at both Lancaster and Oxenholme (Kendal) as well as branch line stations at Carnforth and Wennington. If you are jetting off, then there is a choice of three airports;  Leeds Bradford, Manchester or Liverpool. We were looking for an outdoor lifestyle in a beautiful setting that would give our children the ability to explore the surrounding countryside and mess about on the river, just as we did when we were young. Straight from the house there are such lovely walks and great cycling routes which we’ve all enjoyed as a family, we could take a different route almost every day. As a family we’ve enjoyed taking part in community events, if you want to join in there’s lots going on between the church and the village hall; apple pressing, bonfire night and the Christmas parties. We used to serve mulled wine and mince pies on Christmas Eve after the crib service, it’s been a very happy house. Step inside The Parrock is an inviting property, one where the views of the outside profoundly affect the interior. The south facing outlook is panoramic, stretching across and down the valley taking in the undulating fells behind the villages of Melling and Claughton which lie on the opposite side of the River Lune. Design wise, there is a strong focus on the domestic architecture of the Arts & Crafts Movement, especially the work of Scottish architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh; the entrance has coloured glazing featuring the famous tulip design from The Blackwell House in Bowness on Windermere and use has been made of massive sawn green oak beams; in the posts of the porch, above the garage door and in the striking corner window of the reception hall. Internally, there is emphasis on the use of natural materials; bamboo, limestone, travertine, marble, granite, oak and glass. Externally there is a local blue Burlington slated roof, laid in the traditional manner of diminishing slate courses. For longevity, rainwater goods are aluminium. The vast amount of glazing and additional roof lights ensure that natural light floods in from every possible angle enabling not just solar gain but constant appreciation of the views. For comfort, there’s underfloor heating throughout (all rooms on individual thermostats) and the windows are double glazed with Velfac aluminium streamlined frames. Step though the porch, into the glazed vestibule with storage for coats and through into the generous reception hall with guest cloakroom, striking corner window seat and oak balustraded staircase with low level courtesy lighting. Onward into the main living area, a show stopping space. The sheer volume of this room as well as the quantity and quality of natural light are incredible. Floor to ceiling glass frames the breathtaking views and draw you forward as the views are a constant changing delight, whatever the season, whatever the weather there is a new aspect to enjoy. The double height ceiling reaches the apex of the roof with an additional seating area on the first floor framed by an oak balustrade. The light and airiness are extraordinary, uplifting and joyous. The hub of the house, a well-appointed kitchen has been designed so that the views may be fully appreciated at the same time as meals are prepared. There’s a breakfast bar and space for a generous dining table. A stylish built in glazed French Pictofocus wood burner makes a strong focal point and is positioned so that the views can be appreciated simultaneously. Sliding doors open to the decking providing a convenient setting for eating outdoors and encourage spilling outside when the weather is so inclined. Playing a strong supporting role to the kitchen is the adjacent utility room with space for laundry appliances and a door for quick access to the outside drying area. Completing the picture on the ground floor is a home office/cinema room with cabling installed for a projector and speaker system, if desired. There’s also a double bedroom with ensuite shower room. Sited away from the first floor family bedrooms it is perfect for overnight guests but also, if combined with the home office it offers the potential to create a suite of rooms for a dependent relative. Rising to the first floor and off the landing is good storage provision and open plan access to the second seating area, it’s a light drenched place to work, read or dedicate to hobbies. Open to the main living area below, it is connected but remains independent. The principal bedroom is a treat. Not only is there a large double bedroom and a spacious ensuite bathroom (with double ended bath and separate large rainfall shower) but connecting the two is a walk-through wardrobe and dressing area with doors to two additional storerooms. There is a third ensuite bedroom, this time with a private shower room and in addition are two further double bedrooms served by the attractive and well appointed house bathroom having both a bath and large rainfall shower. The house will appeal to those who are attracted by the functionality of a modern home but seek a property with greater depth of character. Instantly inviting, performing well for family life and somewhere that definitely lends itself to entertaining.  With busy and demanding jobs, we needed somewhere we could be quiet and tranquil, a haven to reset and recharge when needed. With the advantages of B4RN broadband we’ve been able to easily bring work home and have had the rooms to have dedicated desk space. When we’ve had to travel for work the village is well place to be convenient for the motorway and the train station at Carnforth. In this way it’s given us so much flexibility workwise. As well as being a family home, this is a great house for a party, both for us adults and for our children in their teenage years. We’ve celebrated every rite of passage and landmark family occasion here; it’s been wonderful in that respect. Whether there is two or twenty two of you, the house feels just right. On a practical level it’s a very easy house to keep clean. There is hard flooring throughout and you can connect the vacuum’s hose at various points, there’s also a trap door in the kitchen unit kickboards for sweeping any bits into. In this way it’s easy to maintain a dust free environment if anyone in the family had allergies. Step outside The careful positioning of The Parrock, the design of the garden and the seating areas within are all about the view. Everything has been oriented to enable maximum enjoyment. Set back from the general building line of neighbouring properties, the generous and established gardens feel private and secluded despite being in the centre of the village. In line with the Arts & Crafts Movement style of the house, the substantial iroko wooden entrance gates are also inspired by the period and make a striking entrance. Electrically operated, they open to a generous hard standing for parking and turning with an additional gravel area tucked to the side of the garage that’s ideal for an occasional vehicle, a camper van, caravan or boat. The majority of garden sits to the east and south of the house, a large lawn with established hedging and flowering shrubs bring structure and colour to the garden throughout the seasons. A mixed boundary hedge is designed to allow the garden to blend visually with the neighbouring field and the view across the valley, making the view an extension of the garden. South facing and attracting all day long sunshine is the split level deck with access from the main living area enabling the boundaries between inside and out to be blurred during warmer weather as the deck becomes another room to be enjoyed. Access to a tap and electricity create a flexible outdoor living space, where the owners had planned to install a hot tub. Perfect for hosting or just family time, it’s a lovely space with the seating area around the corner (where the current owners have their fire pit) attracting the last rays of the setting sun; ideal for a glass of something chilled as you reflect upon the day. The garden area to the west houses a garden shed and wood store. The area fronting the road is a kitchen garden with raised beds and a damson tree. There is also a small additional fenced area to the front where the current owners have their hens. The boiler room is an excellent place to dry off wet outdoor gear and has a ceiling mounted airer for just such reason. A door leads into the double garage which has additional room for storage or a workshop and benefits from useful mezzanine storage above. For convenience, the door is electric. Outside there is lighting, power point provision and water taps. The views have enabled us to appreciate the passing of the seasons and the wildlife, we see Canadian geese swooping down the valley, lambs and rabbits playing in the field, and of course the birdlife. We hear the owls and woodpeckers and have had hedgehog visitors over the years.
