luxury houses for sale Clappersgate, United Kingdom

An utterly delightful country house; sat in established and professionally landscaped gardens and commanding wonderful views of Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe, Swallows House is full of period charm, has generously proportioned rooms and a layout suited to family life and socialising with friends. The picturesque hamlet location is quiet and peaceful, yet centrally positioned in the Lake District National Park, with Ambleside, Hawkshead, Skelwith Bridge and the Langdales all readily accessible. Dating from the 1600s, the house has been extended and updated since 2001 and now offers a hall, highly practical boot room, dining kitchen, a formal and atmospheric dining room, a generous and welcoming main sitting room and a study with garden and fell views. A door leads from the kitchen to the newer part of the house, a sizeable extension added in 2004. With a more contemporary aesthetic, this part of the house is immensely flexible and can be used as an annex for a dependent family member or for longer stay guests or incorporated into the main living space and occupied as one – on offer is a living room, fifth double bedroom (currently used as a games room), ensuite shower room and a utility room with potential to be upgraded to a kitchenette. Back to the original, period property and an airy set of stairs leads up to the first floor with a cloakroom on the half landing. Off the spacious main landing is the principal ensuite bedroom, three further double bedrooms and a house bathroom. Swallows House will doubtless appeal to those looking to make the Lake District their main residence and to buyers seeking an escape, a private slice of heaven for taking a much-needed break when diaries permit. It will also appeal to parties looking to create a bolt hole but share it with others and let it commercially - the present owners offer it to guests through Wheelwrights Holiday Cottages. As such, most of the contents are included in the sale, enabling new owners to transition smoothly and continue the business. For purchases not looking to let, the contents will be useful as you become established, before putting your own stamp on this lovely property. Location Rural, but not isolated, this is a tranquil country location with fabulous uninterrupted views across the valley to the verdant slopes of neighbouring Loughrigg and Fairfield Horseshoe beyond. This picturesque hamlet-setting benefits from being deeply embedded in the very centre of the Lake District, adjacent to the Langdale Valley, with country and fell walks aplenty from the doorstep. There are many iconic Lakeland villages within a ten miles radius; perfect to dip into when you want shops, a break from kitchen duties (there are also a few places to enjoy a meal out within walking distance including the Drunken Duck) or to see a bit of Lakeland-life. And equally a wonderful place to get away from it all and embrace the calm and stillness that this setting offers. Day-to-day needs are met by local shops and amenities in the nearby villages of Ambleside, Elterwater and Hawkshead, with a branch of regional supermarket Booths in Windermere; and of course these days, most of the major supermarkets also deliver to the property. Whether you want the Lake District for rest and relaxation, for quiet contemplation and inspiration, or for exertion and exhilaration there is something here for everyone. Striding out on the fells, cycling the lanes, wild swimming or simply pottering around the shops and sampling the tea and cake on offer, for generations that have been, for generations that currently are and no doubt for generations to come, the Lake District has it all – there is nowhere quite like it. Step Inside Cross the threshold into the flagged hall and there’s a practical boot room for your outdoor kit. The kitchen has extensive cabinets and space for a table, ideal for breakfast and informal suppers. The atmospheric dining room is deeply charismatic and will make a delightful venue for gathering family and friends for candlelit dinners and Sunday lunches after building an appetite on long fell and lake-side walks. There’s an air of grandeur here, with a deep bay window and open fireplace with twin arched alcoves either side. The large sitting room is an impressive room with a high beamed ceiling and generous proportions commanding super fell views from the deep floor-to-ceiling bay window; this accommodates a second smaller seating arrangement, just the spot for watching the birds in the garden. The main seating area is around the open fireplace and a glazed door connects to the garden. Off the sitting room is a study, the view of Loughrigg will either prove inspirational or distracting as you work! From the sitting room an arched recess marks the foot of the wide staircase to the first floor, off the half landing is a cloakroom. The airy stairwell is flooded with natural light from the large skylight overhead and opens to a generous landing. The principal bedroom suite is a large bedroom with fabulous fell views to wake up to (including the Langdale Pikes), while the ensuite bathroom has a five-piece suite. Three further double bedrooms (generously proportioned to the extent two could be sub-divided), each enjoy splendid views and share the house bathroom. Throughout the house, sanitaryware is mainly Villeroy and Boch. A door from the kitchen connects the old part of the house to the extension which incorporated some of the original walls of the original farmhouse. This is a versatile addition which could be occupied all as one with the main house or used as a self-contained suite for guests or dependent family. It provides you with a sitting room, a fifth double bedroom/games room with an ensuite shower room, and a utility room which could be upgraded to a small kitchenette. Swallows House is a charismatic period property with a sizeable extension that adds a great degree of flexibility to living here. It works well as a permanent or second home but has also proved a popular holiday-let for larger family house parties keen to spend time together or celebrate a landmark occasion.

Turn the key, walk in, unpack… there’s nothing left to do, besides sit back, relax and enjoy it all. The transformation is remarkable, craftsmanship is impeccable, the result extraordinary. This fabulous contemporary single level property has been virtually rebuilt as well as massively extended. Both inside and out, every element has been either renewed or added as new, the present structure bearing no resemblance to the tired and dated bungalow that occupied this elevated corner plot before. Inside the centre piece is the substantial open plan living space, delivering an absolute WOW factor, chic, streamlined, sociable and stylish, it’s a room for cooking and eating, for entertaining and being together, as well as being quiet and reflective. There are three king sized bedrooms, an ensuite shower room (with generous space to create a second if required), a family bathroom, a utility room and spacious entrance hall.  Both in the sleek kitchen and the contemporaneous bathroom and shower room, the fixtures and fittings are high specification and skillfully selected.  Flowing throughout the property the harmonious colour palette of greys and neutrals is carefully curated and will prove an easy backdrop for your furniture, art and pictures.  Surrounding the property are fabulous landscaped gardens, purposefully designed to offer maximum enjoyment with the very minimum  of upkeep – with no lawns to mow there should be plenty of time to enjoy barbecues and outside dining on the large seating terrace or a glass of something chilled in the hot tub.  There is parking for two or three cars as well as a single garage. Tucked away in a quiet, well regarded and long established residential enclave, Windermere village itself is within walking distance for everyday needs and thereafter this is a great location for exploring the wider Lake District.  Bought in 2022, transformed over 2023 – 24, here at No. 22, well regarded Windermere based building contractor Dean Adams has brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the project, undertaking all the hard work so that you don’t have to. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to relax and enjoy.  Location Quietly tucked away off the main thoroughfare on the outskirts of Windermere village, St Mary’s Park, named after the adjacent church, is an exceptionally convenient setting not only for day to day life but also as a base for exploring the wider glories of the Lake District. Already an easy walk along the main road to reach local services, a footpath also connects straight into the heart of the village and provides a handy shortcut.   With a ready-made community of neighbours, this established residential area has been popular for many decades and is ideal for full or part time living or as an investment opportunity for holiday rental. It’s convenient for schools, shops and local amenities in Windermere, the bus stop on the A591, and benefits from ready access to a fabulous choice of places in which to dine out; establishments offering everything from a light bite to Michelin starred fine dining.  The advantage of life in the centre of such a popular tourist destination is being able to enjoy facilities all year round – cinema, live music, theatre and a wide array of visitor attractions. And if gently ambling, walking, hiking, running, wild swimming or cycling is your passion then could there be a better location? Quite possibly not.  Step inside  The front door opens to a spacious entryway where there is space for furniture or to build in coat storage. Shoes off and enjoy the underfloor heating through the porcelain floors tiles which start here and flow through into the living kitchen and the utility room for a seamless aesthetic. The utility room has plenty of storage space with pale grey high gloss fronted cabinets and composite worktops, there’s space for a condenser dryer and plumbing for your washer.  Walk into the living kitchen and it’s hard to know what to admire first, the fabulous kitchen or the views beyond through the wall of glazing. Inside and outside become one; the peaks of the fells are visible over the tops of the trees, the garden and neighbourhood trees provide screening for life inside. It’s a truly fabulous and exceptionally generous space. With a large and well equipped kitchen, a natural corner for dining and then a large area which would accommodate a number of seating configurations; one large statement sofa possibly or a smaller L shaped one in front of the fire with a couple of bespoke reading chairs positioned to admire the view, look out to the garden or watch the visiting birds.  When it came to which kitchen company to choose, one brand was a clear leader as their design ethos and principals very much spoke for the style and tone of the entire property that was being created, SieMatic. Since they were established in 1929, SieMatic have been making kitchens that fit into creative living. The brand is synonymous with production quality of the highest standard, planning competency and innovation. Their website states “The SieMatic style world concept follows the currently most popular lifestyles and furnishing styles and makes it possible to respond flexibly, precisely, and in detail to your individual feelings about life, beyond rigid program structures.” The classic minimalism of the clean lines and restrained colour scheme provides an elegant living space where “an agreeable sense of balance is created through a generous use of surfaces and materials, as well as a freedom from decorative elements. An elementary simplicity which is equally understandable all over the world.” Cabinets are a subtle combination of pale and dark grey with Corian worktops. The island extends to a breakfast bar with space for three stools. Clever lighting and backlights enhance the design and ensure maximum atmosphere whatever the time of day or occasion.  Now in situ, it was clearly the right choice as it effortlessly occupies a corner of this vast living area where feature windows and bi-folding doors provide wrap around views and a contemporary Globe 100 gas fire flickers gently within its low set rectangular box, it’s remote control, so you only need to lift a finger.  The bedroom wing is through a door off the living area. An inner hall provides access to the loft, with a pull-down ladder it has part boarding with light, so makes for easily accessible storage  for cases and Christmas decorations.  The principal bedroom has French doors out to the garden. It has the pleasure of a generous ensuite shower room, sure to bring a touch of glamour to your everyday with a large rainfall shower, floating vanity unit and loo. Finishing touches include a feature wall of tiles laid in a herringbone pattern.  The second bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe, this room could be remodelled with ease to accommodate a second ensuite if this was required. The third bedroom has a built-in wardrobe.  The main bathroom is a stylish affair, luxurious in appointment and finish. The statement oval bath is instantly inviting and if time doesn’t permit a leisurely soak, then the large rainfall shower is there, along with a floating vanity unit and loo. A few points to note when it comes to internal specification;  Doors, bi-folds and windows are all new and are hard wearing, maintenance free aluminium finished with anthracite grey paint. Glazing is extensive and ensures that this is a light filled home with a feeling of airiness.  Internal doors are contemporary styled with a light oak finish and chrome handles. The doors from the hall into the living area and the living area into the bedroom wing are both glazed to maximise light flow.  All internal walls are painted in masonry paint to be as hard wearing as possible, whether you are thinking of holiday makers or have an active family life yourself, being able to wipe the walls down will be a future blessing.   All three bedrooms would accommodate a king-sized bed and all have pendant bedside lights already wired. If you like to watch TV in bed then whilst there aren’t any sockets now, they could be easily installed if required.  Both the bathroom and shower room are fully tiled incorporating illuminated recesses for storage and display. Both the showers have rainfall and second handheld shower heads, they also include illuminated mirrors, matt black heated towel rails, not forgetting the under-floor heating which runs throughout.   Step outside The same care and attention to detail that has been lavished on the interior has also been generously employed outside.  Arriving at the property and there is a pull parking bay with space for two or three cars depending on size but there’s also a single garage with a further space in front of it too. Steps lead up to the front door where there is a seating area, east facing and perfect for a morning cup of coffee. A path then leads around to the main garden which is situated on the westerly elevation of the property. Here is a lawn for children to play, a seating terrace for outside dining and general relaxation and the hot tub, just the thing after a long day, it really comes into its own during the colder weather; twilight dips as the sun sets are glorious, whereas on a clear night under nothing but the stars the experience is exceptionally memorable. A path leads from the hot tub to the door into the main bedroom so you could go straight into the shower afterwards if you liked. Overall, it’s a great outside space for entertaining family and friends or just keeping to yourselves. The boundaries between indoor and outdoor become blurred during warmer months when the living area’s bi-folding doors can be opened up enabling the two areas to effortlessly combine.  Outside, the painstaking choice of materials is well worth comment, externally much of the bedrock excavated to create the garden and parking area was then used to face the rebuilt elevations and retaining garden walls. The walls of the wrap around extension to the west is finished with composite cladding to be minimal upkeep. Porcelain tiles form steps and seating areas and have a non-slippery finish to be safer underfoot, Lakeland slate chippings have also been laid in places to echo the stone used on the elevations and in surrounding nature.

When the present owners were looking for a family home in the Lakes in 2011 they had one set requirement – a lovely spacious open plan contemporary living space that would provide central focus for their family home, a room in which they could cook, eat and relax; spend time together and host family and friends. Not finding what they wanted, they set about to create it and chanced upon High Ridge. Located in the sought after residential area of Storrs Park on the east side of Lake Windermere in a quiet and gently elevated cul-de-sac setting, the house was built in the 1960s and to be fair to all was ready for overhaul. Combining a series of smaller rooms the vendors were able to design their own dream living space and in doing so, created a bespoke room that not only has windows to all four elevations allowing the light to flood in all day long, but also a room which had the one thing all Lake District residents crave – a view of Lake Windermere. Here at High Ridge it’s even better as different parts of the same room capture a different angle of this super vista especially as picture windows, a wall of bi-folding doors and French windows have been added. To see the masts on the yachts gently bob in the breeze on their moorings or sail elegantly past is really rather wonderful, especially if you happen to be washing up at the time! The ribbon of low lying mist on an autumnal morning is a lovely sight to behold with your morning brew as you contemplate the day ahead. Light, bright, contemporary and highly sociable – it’s just what they wanted and is undoubtedly the heart of this home. The transformation didn’t stop there as all rooms, as well as the outside spaces, received their magic touch. Internally the house has been given a uniform look with new internal joinery (room and cupboard doors, square cut skirting boards and architraves) fitted throughout with a handsome deep brown walnut finish. There’s a great use of natural materials with the inclusion of slate and Italian stone tiling to floor and walls, plus contemporary kitchen and bathroom fittings, including a brand new, modern ensuite bathroom for the master bedroom. The owners have also introduced Karndean flooring to the open plan space, inner bedroom hall, reception hall and cloakroom for its good looks and hard wearing qualities. The second and third bedrooms have engineered spruce flooring with a light colour washed finish continuing the contemporary use of wood. Outside the gardens have been landscaped to provide cleverly positioned seating areas and easy to maintain planting. Whimsically named Christmas Lane conjures all sorts of romantic notions and in many ways lives up to its name, a short cul-de-sac of detached houses, each one completely different in terms of period and style sit harmoniously surrounded by well tended gardens affording privacy for each individual property. The vendors have said that one of the aspects of life on Christmas Lane they have enjoyed the most has been the sense of community with local residents getting together for high days and holidays. The house will no doubt appeal to those who love to entertain as the open plan space is perfect for hosting whether it’s an informal supper for friends or a big bash for a milestone birthday. All in all, High Ridge is recommended for those seeking contemporary good looks, open plan living, low upkeep gardens, an accessible location and a view of Lake Windermere. In all, 0.21 acres. Location High Ridge is exceptionally accessible off the main Bowness to Newby Bridge Road (the A592) but is sufficiently far away from the highway to enjoy a quiet setting and thanks to some timely and thoughtful hedge planting which is now nicely mature, it enjoys a private spot. It is an accessible location both for the central Lake District honey pot villages and nearby larger towns, plus the road and rail network.  Bowness offers great shopping, a multitude of places to eat or enjoy a drink, a local cinema/performing arts venue and an additional theatre venue. If you’re seeking a slower pace of life and access to the water, then the marina, yacht club and motorboat club are all convenient, but if you prefer dry land then Windermere gold club is also handy and there are several routes for walking, running and cycling, right from the doorstep. There is also a popular gym and spa at The Old England Hotel in Bowness.  If you have children of school age, then there are local primary schools in Windermere and secondary education at The Lakes School (at Troutbeck Bridge) and fee paying Windermere School.  Step inside  The main entrance is to the west side of the house where double doors open to a generous reception hall – always a good use of space, a wide hallway is such a lovely place to greet guests and also makes daily comings and goings easier with space to kick off your shoes and store coats. A statement open riser staircase leads to the main living level with steel support and polished wooden treads. Wall lights and downlighters keep it looking sleek. This entrance sets the tone for the rest of the house with its clean lines and restful colour palette. Off the hall is a separate reception room with a tiled slate floor – this is an adaptable room that can be put to a range of functions as family life dictates; it’s been a teenage den but is currently an office to enable working from home. It would suit a media room, gym or studio – endless possibilities, the choice being yours. There’s a point for a wall mounted TV to keep cables hidden and maintain the streamlined look. Beyond the snug is an attractively fitted utility room. The practical tiled slate floor continues and there are base and wall units, a Hotpoint washing machine and condenser tumble drier. Here you’ll find a hatch to the undercroft space under the house. There isn’t full head height but it’s a great accessible space for suitcases and Christmas decorations. Also off the hall is a cloakroom with loo and wash basin and a door to the integral double garage so you can come and go without getting wet if it’s raining – always handy if you are off somewhere special or have a boot full of shopping. The garage has a newly installed electric up and over door, power and light. Up to the first floor, the staircase rises straight into the open plan living space with a contemporary balustrade with wooden handle and steel cable surround. The kitchen has cabinets painted in a matt finish, brushed metal handles and Iroko hardwood worktops. A matching central island with seating along the far side makes for a social and practical layout. A Mercury range takes center stage and will doubtless appeal to keen cooks with a gas hob and electric ovens. Often a concern with open living, there’s a fan above the range so cooking smells don’t permeate the living space. There is an integral Hotpoint dishwasher and a stable door to the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is the area zoned for dining with double opening French windows and a Juliette balcony commanding a lake view. Moving to the seating area there is a point for a wall mounted TV and also an alternative front door. It enjoys new ceiling mounted spotlights, plus an inside/outside feel with a wall of bi-folding doors to the south opening to a balcony, again, enjoying lake views. The perfect place for a morning coffee or chilled sundowner as you watch the sun set over Claife Heights on the far side of the lake. A door leads to the inner bedroom hall of which are the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The hall has two sets of built in cupboards with walnut finished doors and automatic lights upon opening. Continuing the look, the master bedroom has walnut finished doors to a built in double wardrobe and a newly refurbished modern en-suite bathroom with marbled vein effect tiled walls and flooring, a large walk in shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Two further double bedrooms share the stylish house bathroom with a three piece suite of bath with shower and screen, wash basin and loo. Step outside There are in and out gates making the parking easy to navigate but also meaning the garden can be enclosed to be safe for children and dogs. The drives open to a generous parking area. A path laid with black slate and contemporary black pointing extends around the house opening to wider terraces at both the front and rear. Bordered by hedges there are mature shrubs and lawns, all designed to be low maintenance. There’s outside lighting and an external tap. The rear terrace gets the best of the evening sun and is a lovely place to watch the sun set over the lake. Services Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage. Gas fired central heating from a Worcester boiler in the utility room, this was installed in 2018.  Mobile and broadband services For information on broadband and mobile services at the property, we advise prospective purchasers to consult the Ofcom website: checker.ofcom.org.uk   Local Authority charges  Westmorland and Furness Council – Council Tax band G.

This beautiful late Georgian Vicarage built in 1803 to serve the parish church of St Paul’s nearby (itself built in 1672) is situated in Witherslack, a small village in the Winster Valley within the southern boundary of the Lake District National Park. The Old Vicarage is an impressive and elegant property, rich in character and historic charm and has been substantially and lovingly upgraded by the current owners into a stunning country home with all the comforts for modern living whilst maintaining its elegant character. The property is approached through double gates off the quiet country lane into a driveway, which can accommodate a total of ten cars and serves a newly built three bay garage. A magnificent Cedar of Lebanon greets you on arrival. The property excels in space for family life and entertaining, having a fabulous kitchen area opening into a large garden room with six additional reception rooms yet despite its size the house flows beautifully. The first floor accommodates six bedrooms, two bathrooms and three ensuites plus an additional bedroom currently with bunk beds for smaller children. The second floor above the recent annex provides a TV lounge and hobby room, plus has the best view in the property with a triple aspect over the Winster Valley, a perfect opportunity to turn into an independent dwelling for a family relative if so desired. The property enjoys direct access straight from the side gate onto the footpath up Yewbarrow, the immediately adjacent hill, which leads onto the famous Whitbarrow Scar home of resident peregrine falcons. This walk, passing initially through ancient woodland, provides stunning views north over southern Lakeland to the higher fells and south over the Kent Estuary with wonderful sunsets in a peaceful and quiet environment. Location Witherslack, situated on the west side of the Winster Valley, is a delightful village enjoying the scenic beauty of Yewbarrow and Whitbarrow Scar on its doorstep and surrounded by traditional Lakeland farms. There is a pub (The Derby Arms), a primary school, a community shop and a village hall. The Earl of Derby’s family, some of whom still live in the village, have maintained a large estate in Witherslack which has helped preserve the traditional character of life in the village and due to their support, there is a well known thriving artistic and craft community at the Halecat centre. There are a number of arts and crafts exhibitions each year, which are well respected and attended.  Besides the walks around the area cycling is a very popular local activity for its scenic routes and quiet roads. There is bird life in abundance with resident Peregrine Falcons and nearby on Foulshaw Moss a pair of breeding Ospreys. Along with Witherslack there are the villages of Winster, Crook, Crosthwaite, Brigsteer and Underbarrow, all connected by a network of lanes, bridleways and footpaths. There are also good road connections to Bowness, Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Hawkshead for trips out. The neighbouring area of Cartmel, Sizergh Castle (NT) and Levens Hall are great to visit.

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.

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.

Accessed via a striking, timber-clad contemporary extension, the accommodation unfolds into a glamorous, well-appointed breakfast kitchen with bi-folding doors connecting to the large deck.  A spacious sitting room flows seamlessly through a pointed archway into an atmospheric dining room. Also on the ground floor is a versatile fourth bedroom, currently used as a guest room but ideal as a home office along with a chic shower room. The kitchen and reception rooms all enjoy direct access to riverside areas, it’s an enviable combination for everyday living and entertaining alike. The boundaries are blurred, bringing the outside in and taking the inside out, ideal for al fresco dining or simply soaking up the peaceful, natural surroundings; the vibrant river views, abundant wildlife and ever-changing light. The views across the river are over to the far bank and through the trees to the Howgills, the fells revealing themselves gradually in autumn as the leaves fall. Upstairs, the impressive principal bedroom features a sleek ensuite shower room, while two further double bedrooms are served by a beautifully designed house bathroom, complete with a statement freestanding pewter bath and high-quality heritage style fittings throughout. The lower ground floor offers great flexibility: one room has been transformed into a fabulous entertainment or family room – perfect for movie nights, games or gatherings.
