A beautiful residence in Bassenthwaite, Keswick, comprising farm and separate cottage offers the opportunity to live in a characterful property with fabulous views.

Kiln Hill Farm and Cottage date from pre-1900 and have been sensitively restored by the present owner to provide modern, comfortable living while sympathetically blending the original traditional building.

Kiln Hill Farm retains many of the innate character features expected of a property of its type, with intricate cornicing, high ceilings, sandstone pillars and an original fireplace.

The living accommodation on the ground floor has an entrance porch and hall, solid wooden staircase to the first floor, two good-size reception rooms - the sitting room having original wooden shutters - Lakeland views and fireplace with cast-iron grate.

The lounge comes with a multi-fuel stove and window seats, dining room with wood-burning stove, kitchen/breakfast room with a centre island, range-style cooker and granite worktops, utility with door outside, unit and bBiomass boiler.

There is a downstairs toilet and a newly-built sun room with vaulted ceiling, exposed oak beams, slate flooring with underfloor heating and expansive views over the garden to the fells.

On the first floor, there are four large bedrooms, two complete with en-suite shower rooms, another with a walk-in wardrobe which has plumbing to be used as an additional en-suite, a study which could be used as a further bedroom and family bathroom.

All the bedrooms looking out to the front enjoy fabulous views of Bassenthwaite Lake and out to the fells beyond.

Externally, the property benefits from large enclosed gardens and a paddock of approximately one acre, which is accessed from the garden to the side of the property, along with an additional storage shed/stable. There is off-road parking for multiple vehicles, a garage and external store.

The cottage has been run as a successful holiday cottage for the past 12 years and has the potential to provide an additional income for the purchaser or could be used as a separate dwelling providing living accommodation for the owner's friends or relatives.

The cottage is on a separate title. There is a kitchen, inner hallway, two bedrooms, one en-suite, and a sitting room on the first floor to fully appreciate the surrounding views.

There is double glazing, mains electricity, water and a septic tank drainage system. The property benefits from a biomass central heating installation, with the biomass boiler generating a figure of £3,348 for the 12 months ending September 2016, which covered all heating and hot water costs and generated a surplus.

Situated just beyond the Lake District village of Bassenthwaite, the accommodation is tucked away with panoramic views of the Skiddaw mountain range and across Bassenthwaite Lake to the north-western Lake District fells.
