Detached house for sale in Braithwaite, Keswick CA12

Brief Résumé

A charming and most individual four bedroomed detached property offering easily maintained accommodation on two levels with ample parking, detached garage, and garden. Delightful location in the centre of the village with fine views, no upward chain.

Description

Mill House lives up to its name by being the former mill to the adjacent Coledale Beck with part of the original mill being retained and displayed to the front of the property. The property has been under current ownership since the early 1970s and has been greatly extended to the south-facing end to accommodate a large Family/Sunroom with separate external access to the front and rear. There is further spacious and attractive accommodation with a pleasant rear garden which is mostly private given its location, and being slightly elevated from the road, offering far reaching views both from the principal rooms and outside.

The accommodation is well presented, has double glazing, and benefits from gas-fired central heating. Briefly the accommodation is arranged to provide at lower ground level: Hallway, Living Room, Dining Room, fitted Kitchen with integral appliances, and a fantastic modern Family/Sunroom. On the upper floor is four bedrooms and a bathroom and the Master Bedroom is equipped with a shower cubicle and wash hand basin. Outside to the front is a gated driveway, with space for several vehicles and access to the main entrance door, garage, and side aspect access to the rear garden, which is laid mostly to lawn.

The property is located within the heart of the village of Braithwaite, a delightful location and ideally positioned for walking and exploring the northern half of the Lake District National Park, now a World Heritage Site. The village is popular with visitors and is at the foot of Whinlatter and Newlands pass, yet just minutes from the A66 with easy access to the towns of Keswick, Cockermouth, Penrith, and convenient access to the M6. Mill House is within a very short walking distance of the village shop, three pubs, a restaurant, and cafe. It is also close to the village primary school and a pickup point for the bus to Keswick School.
