Description

Wychwood is an exceptional detached house set in a tranquil, elevated position with 7.8 acres of private land, ensuring privacy and breath taking views. The current vendors have fully modernised the property to offer an idyllic retreat offering the best of both worlds, a fabulous family home set in a beautiful location with the convenience of being a short walk into the charming village of Braithwaite and Keswick Town.

Braithwaite village has a local village shop, three pubs, a café, primary school and Village Hall. A great bus route departs from the village giving access to all areas of the National Park. Keswick town is 3 miles from the property and has an array of independent shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, the famous Theatre by the Lake, Cinema and Derwentwater lake.

As you approach Wychwood, you travel along the top road above the village, Wychwood is the last property along the road. A drive way takes you up to the property where an abundance of parking can be found. From the driveway a path takes you to the front door. Entering the property, you are greeted with a large entrance hall with plenty of room to discard muddy boots and shoes. Venturing to the right a door takes you to the utility room that has a separate WC, a door to a large storage area and a further door to the garage with electric up and over door. Returning to the entrance hall a further door gives access to a double bedroom with en-suite shower room.

A staircase leaves the entrance hall and takes you to the first floor, this is where the magic happens. The open plan kitchen/diner is in front of you and there’s no doubt this is the heart of the house, with double aspect windows providing panoramic views from every angle and flooding the room with natural light, making it the perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining. Original Parque flooring travels throughout this space to a door that enters the sunroom to the rear of the house, with lovely views of the rear aspect. The next wonderful space is the lounge, a standout feature of this home, with stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that let in an abundance of light whilst offering magnificent views of Skiddaw, Blencathra, Helvellyn and beyond. Further along the landing the master bedroom has double aspect floor to ceiling windows, again with breathtaking views. Bedroom two looks to Barf fell and sale fell and has the benefit of built in wardrobes with part mirror fronts. Bedroom three looks to the rear garden and the woodland beyond. Last but not least is the bathroom, with large walk in shower, separate free standing bath and fully tiled throughout.

To the outside, the driveway winds up to the large parking area. From here, you can take a few steps up to a brilliant, decked area with various seating arrangements, built in BBQ station, stunning views and a 6-8 seater spa/hot tub. The garden is steeped and blends naturally into the vast grounds where you can explore, play and take in the breathtaking natural surroundings.
