Description
A brand new two bedroom lodge inside the Lake District National Park, with vaulted ceilings, a fully glazed front elevation and its own private terrace. Sold fully furnished from £335,000.

The Hesk sits within the landscaped grounds at Whitbarrow Village, a short drive from Keswick, with open fell views to the front and woodland behind. A split-level roof and full-height Crittall-style glazing run the width of the lodge, and vaulted ceilings carry through the lounge and both bedrooms.

The living space is open plan, with the lounge at one end facing the glazing and the kitchen and dining area at the other. The kitchen is a soft sage shaker run with integrated Bosch appliances, including a wine cooler and dual washer/dryer, and herringbone flooring and painted tongue and groove walls run through the space. The bedrooms sit along an inner hall at the far end, the principal with its own en-suite, the second a twin, and a family bathroom with a full-size bath serving both.

Everything stays, including the Hansgrohe fittings and the Bramblecrest terrace furniture. A hot tub and pergola are available on request. Built to British Standard 3632, with a ten year structural warranty.

On your doorstep
Whitbarrow Village sits inside the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with Blencathra rising directly ahead and Helvellyn, Fairfield and Dollywaggon Pike beyond.

The resort facilities have all recently been refurbished. The Fellstone is the lounge and restaurant, run by MasterChef finalist Kyle Greenwood, and there is an indoor heated pool with splash pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, a TechnoGym gym, a games room and a cinema. Outside there is a play area, crazy golf, a putting green, a woodland walk and a duck pond. The resort is gated, has 24 hour security and is open 365 days a year. Dogs are welcome.

Beyond the gates, Ullswater and Derwentwater are close for boating and paddleboarding, and Aira Force is a short drive. Keswick is the local town, twelve miles away, with its markets, independent shops, cafes and lakeside. The A66 and M6 are close by, and Penrith mainline station runs direct to London, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
