Description
Description
The Duck House is the quintessential rural retreat from which to immerse yourself in the splendour of the Lake District. Perfectly situated in the picturesque village of Braithwaite, you will be ideally placed for exploring the multitude of local attractions, whilst enjoying the quiet countryside idyll in this homely and inviting bungalow.
As you enter there is a spacious hallway, opening up to a large bright triple-aspect living and dining room, complete with a traditional wood-burning stove in the fireplace, and plenty of space to sit and relax after a long day of adventures. The large dining table offers ample room to serve up a feast for all the family, and is easily accessible from the kitchen.
Being in a modern country style with the work surfaces finished in local green slate, the generously sized kitchen is very well-equipped. With full size fridge and freezer, a dishwasher, ceramic electric hob and full oven, you have everything you need to easily make the family’s favourite cuisine at any time, whilst the breakfast bar complete with stools offers additional seating if needed. There is also a further utility cupboard with washing machine, tumble dryer and airing rack.
On through the kitchen you will find a bright and welcoming sun room, which has double doors opening out onto the patio with views across the garden and onto the hills beyond. Nicely furnished with rattan table and chairs, this makes a perfect space for your morning coffee whilst you make plans for the day.
The bedrooms are all light, airy and spacious with ample storage. The master bedroom has a king size bed, wall-mounted television for that holiday lie-in, and a modern en-suite bathroom with a smart shower enclosure, glass-surround basin, and toilet. The second bedroom has zip-link twin beds - normally made up as one king-size bed, although you can request twin beds if required. The third bedroom has one full size single bed.
The main family bathroom, is fully tiled, and offers a bath complete with mains shower over, basin and toilet.
There is high speed broadband internet connection available.
Outside, there is a very well-proportioned garden, with a sunny aspect, multiple features of interest and stunning views out across the fells. There is a large patio which can be accessed either through double sliding doors from the main living room or from the sun room. There are two sets of wooden table and chairs to seat four and two respectively, offering the opportunity to dine al fresco in the summer months.
A natural stream known as Chaplin’s Beck flows through the garden, often complete with ducks paddling along, giving the house its’ name. There are also beautiful planters and borders, making it a colourful and pretty place to sit and soak in the views whilst listening to the murmur of the water.
Please note that the garden is not enclosed from the road nor the stream, and as such children must be closely supervised at all times.
The village of Braithwaite offers many amenities, including a local shop, a tea room, excellent pubs, and multiple glorious valley walks right from the doorstep.
Only 2 miles away is the picturesque market town of Keswick, where you will find various café’s, independent shops and deli’s.
The surrounding area offers breath-taking scenery of the north-western Lake District, with Braithwaite being at the foot of the Newland’s Valley, and the well-known Buttermere Valley only a 15 minute drive away.
If you enjoy a spot of hiking, why not head up the fells to Grizedale Pike, or the Coledale Horseshoe for some unforgettable scenery. Also within easy reach is Bassenthwaite Lake, a known nesting site for Ospreys.
Book easily online today through the Finest Retreats website, and start looking forward to your holiday in the stunning Lake District.
