Vergers Cottage, 27 St Johns Street, Keswick, CA12

Brief Résumé

Superb three bedroomed character property situated in the heart of Keswick town. Vergers Cottage is deceptively spacious and full of charm with a large rear courtyard patio garden. Currently used as a successful holiday Let.

Description

This charming property adjoins the former Keswick library. Vergers Cottage is your quintessential Lakeland stone-faced property set back from the road and offers surprisingly spacious internal accommodation. Situated across the road from St Johns Church, this part of the old town is a short walk past the iconic Alhambra cinema and into the town itself with an abundance of local shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. If you wander down the side of the church, there is easy access to the Theatre by the Lake and the shores of Derwentwater.

As you approach the property, the front garden is bordered by a low Lakeland stone wall. Enter through the gate, down the path and the front door takes you to the entrance porch with flag stone flooring. A part glazed door enters the dining room with wood flooring, window looking to the front and an alcove that it great for a computer table. From the dining room, a door enters the sitting room. This room is wonderfully, light and bright with a large window looking to the front garden with window seat below and a wood burning stove housed in the chimney breast. From the sitting room an inner hallway gives access to the kitchen, which has a full range of wall and base units and a large window looking to the rear courtyard garden. A staircase from the hallway goes to the first floor and a further door enters the utility room with ample space for storing coats and shoes and has plumbing for a washing machine. Form here there is a door to the downstairs shower room and door to the outside patio.

From the hallway, the staircase takes you to the first floor, on the half landing you access the bathroom that is contemporary in design and has a large walk-in shower. A twin room faces the rear with glimpses of Skiddaw. The master bedroom is a large double, with a charming decorative fire place a large picture window facing the front. Bedroom three is a double, again with decorative fireplace and window to the front. To the outside, the front garden has paved and gravelled walkways and is planted with mature shrubs, trees and plants. To the rear is a large, paved courtyard garden, fabulous for entertaining. This property is fully double glazed with gas central heating, a gem in the heart of the town

Planning permission has been granted (now lapsed) for addition of single storey dining room extension in yard to the rear of the property.
