Shelley Cottage, Chestnut Hill, Keswick, CA12

Brief Résumé

Spacious two bedroomed Grade II listed cottage with three parking spaces (including Garage), stunning garden, and outstanding views. Currently used as a successful Holiday Let.

Description

Shelley Cottage is a Grade II listed Georgian property built circa 1790. It is an historical listing, based on the cottage’s connection to the revered Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Shelley spent his honeymoon here with his first wife, Harriet, staying for several months in 1811-12. He is thought to have frequented the Royal Oak in Keswick with some of the other lake poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey.

Genuinely deceptive in size this well-proportioned part of a modernised Georgian Mansion is located on the eastern outskirts of Keswick. The location offers, not only extraordinary views, but also easy accessibility to the town centre and much of the central and northern areas of the Lake District National Park. The combined benefits of the location, and accommodation on offer, make Shelly Cottage ideal for use as a second home or as an easily managed investment property. However, this charming property is equally suitable for use as a comfortable permanent home.

The property has been upgraded to a high specification throughout, including new bathroom, kitchen, and central heating boiler. The accommodation benefits from gas fired central heating and is arranged all on two levels to provide: spacious entrance hall, Bathroom, dining kitchen with bespoke base and wall units, large living room – both rooms with outstanding views, two double bedrooms and separate WC. Outside to the front is a single garage with parking for one car within and further parking in front of the garage, shared access/driveway to the steps to the entrance door. There is also access via the side of the property to a fantastic sized rear garden with Summer House, large lawned area, established plants shrubs and trees giving it a lovely private and well-enclosed feel and offering fabulous views of the surrounding Lakeland fells and spectacular sunsets. It is not possible to assess all this property has to offer without viewing the internally and externally. Two external parking spaces and potential to park in the garage is invaluable in Keswick
