THIS week our top property in the Lake District is High Hill in Keswick.
This character property is a Grade-II listed historic building which currently serves as The Bridge cafe and restaurant but could also serve as a holiday let or owner accommodation, the agents said.
The three-bedroom apartment above has been designed by an architect and is described as fully refurbished and immaculately presented throughout.
It also has ample off-road parking and is in Keswick town centre; close to hotels, B&Bs and local amenities.
Being in Keswick also means that it is within the Lake District National Park.
David Britton Estates explained: “This is a superb and iconic Grade II Listed residence ideally located on the edge of Keswick town centre.
“Currently trading as a 70+ cover café bar/bistro, enjoying magnificent views of the mountains towards Latrigg and Skiddaw, and the Lakeland fells to the rear. Additionally on the first floor there is a spacious apartment.
“Sitting next to the new 71 bed Premier Inn, whilst also enjoying panoramic views to the Lakeland Fells.
“The nearby A66 provides excellent transport links to Penrith, South Lakes, West Coast and gives easy access to M6 and the West Coast mainline at Penrith.”
The apartment area could be used as accommodation by the owners, as management and staff accommodation or let as a holiday apartment.
It comprises of a lounge with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, raised kitchen, and dining area, three double bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room and a family bathroom.
The Lakeland fell views can be enjoyed from the front and rear aspects giving clear views to Skiddaw, Latrigg, Causey Pike and Grisedale.
The estate agents added: “Built in 1894 by cannon Rawnsley and retaining its Victorian charm and character, this property was founded as the former Keswick School of Industrial Art.
“It has been recently modernised throughout by the current owners, with high quality fixtures and fittings, including state of the art flood defences.”
