Setmurthy, Cockermouth, CA13

Description

Derwent View is a traditional 200 year old Cumbrian cottage with a first-floor view over the nearby River Derwent. It is a detached rural property set in mature gardens with private parking and a garage. This large family home is a great base from which to explore the surrounding countryside and the northern Lake District fells whilst still having easy access to the schools, shops and medical facilities of Keswick (9miles) and Cockermouth (7 miles)

The house boasts two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. There is a well-equipped kitchen/dining room, two reception rooms, conservatory – again with fantastic views – a Utility Room/WC, and a spacious bathroom with separate shower cubicle.

Externally there are two driveways for off-road parking, one extending to the garage, and a large enclosed well-established garden.

Derwent View is set in the hamlet of Setmurthy and is approximately half a mile from the only true lake in the Lake District, Bassenthwaite, which is a home to Atlantic Salmon and is probably the best place in the area where ospreys can be seen. Around the lake are two nature reserves and a small sailing club which has exclusive boating access to the lake. Close by is the historic St Bega’s church, and also Mirehouse, a stately home with interesting connections to English 19th century artistic and literary traditions.

The scenery in this area is stunning with a backdrop of the imposing Skiddaw seen from the front of the house. There are three local pubs within a couple of miles, a restaurant/distillery 5 minutes’ walk away. Cockermouth and Keswick offer an abundance of shopping and dining experiences as well as a variety of cultural hotspots and tourist attractions including The Theatre by the Lake, the Alhambra which is (probably) the 6th oldest theatre in the land, and the Kirkgate Arts centre.

The property benefits from LPG gas central heating, and double glazing. Early internal inspection highly advised.
