Grisedale Cottage is a charming, three-bedroom holiday home set at the end of a short row of attractive, 19th century former mill workers' cottages. It has been enhanced by a more recent extension.
The cottage is set in walker’s paradise. Nestled attractively at the foot of Catbells and Causey Pike, it is within striking distance of some of the finest peaks in the Lake District. Easier walking, through the wonderful Newlands valley is also on the doorstep. It is three and a half miles to the bustling market town of Keswick and is well placed to tour this wonderful part of the world by car. Ideal for a family or two couples. Take a few steps up into the hallway and store and hang up your outdoor clothes. You will find a modern shower room. Walk into your lovely dual aspect, sitting room and your eyes will be drawn to the delightful, deeply set bay window. Admire the original ceiling beams, multi-fuel stove and comfortable suite before taking three steps up to your kitchen with dining area. This is also a dual aspect room with natural light pouring through the windows, giving the room a cheerful and welcoming ambience. Step out of the kitchen door onto the patio and explore your delightful wooded gardens, mostly of lawn with mature trees and shrubs. Go back inside and climb the stairs to find three good-sized and comfortable bedrooms: a double bedroom with king size bed, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. A modern family bathroom has bath with separate shower is nearby. For an energetic day visit the Newlands Adventure Centre to try your hand at rock climbing, canoeing, ghyll scrambling or archery. Walk up Catbells, for panoramic views of shimmering Derwentwater. Take a leisurely stroll into the timeless Newlands Valley. Enjoy the riverside path to the well-loved Swinside Inn for a bar meal.
