Brief Résumé

A unique opportunity to purchase this Immaculately presented three-bedroom house located in a quiet courtyard setting in the heart of Keswick Town. The property benefits from outside seating/dining area, parking, garage and fine views.

Description

5 St Johns Old School is perfectly positioned with in a lovely residential area of Keswick Town. Dating back to 1840, the five properties that form the courtyard were converted in the year 2000 from an old primary school, with no 5 being the original school house. The current vendors fully refurbished the property in 2014. The courtyard setting has been beautifully designed to give great space with a pleasing outlook. Situated next to St Johns Church with its charming grounds, the property provides level easy access to the centre of town where there are many shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. A short walk down the hill from the property takes you to the shores of Derwentwater and the famous Theatre by the Lake.

As you approach the property there is a good-sized parking area and a garage for each of the properties. No 5 is the end terrace and benefits from a parking space to the side, next to its garage. As you approach, the exterior is a blend of Lakeland stone and white render. From the parking area a pathway bordered with plants and shrubs takes you to the front door and enters into a lovely entrance hall, setting the tone for the well maintained interior. A staircase takes you to the first floor and a door to your left enters the living room. Bright and inviting with an open fire taking centre stage with solid wood surround and tile inlay. A part glazed door enters the kitchen/diner, modern in design with a full range of wall, draw and base units and space for table and chairs. A stable door from the kitchen does give access to the front. Returning to the hallway there is a downstairs cloakroom and understairs storage.

To the first floor is a light bright landing with a window and tube light. The master bedroom is double aspect and looks to the beautiful St Johns Church one way and the fells to the other. Bedroom two is also a double and bedroom three is a single with built in storage. The shower room has a large walk-in shower and door to an airing cupboard with plumbing for the washing machine. To the outside there is a delightful private, graveled seating area bordered to the rear by a traditional Lakeland stone wall with shrubs and plants. The parking space is just beyond and next to the garage that has light, power and an electric car charging point. The property is in pristine condition and offers a blend of modern living with traditional Keswick charm.
