Set on just over an acre within the Lake District National Park, 1 Keldwyth is a substantial Arts and Crafts semi with original Lakeland stonework, timber panelling and large windows framing Lake Windermere and fell views. The house offers five large bedrooms, three reception rooms and multiple outbuildings — a rare family-sized plot in a tranquil village setting midway between Windermere and Troutbeck Bridge.
The property retains strong period character: wooden floors, whole timber mantles, antique and Persian tile surrounds and generous room proportions. A self-contained second-floor living area adds flexibility for family life, guests or holiday use. There is parking for several cars plus a garage and car port, and useful cellar storage across three rooms.
Important practical points: the house needs modernisation to meet contemporary standards — expect a programme of refurbishment. Heating is currently electric (mains gas is connected), and broadband is inconsistent: superfast fibre is available to the area but current internal speeds are reported very slow. Council Tax is Band H, so running costs will be high.
This will suit buyers seeking a character family home or a high-quality second home with scope to modernise and personalise. The setting, scale and views are key strengths; the principal trade-off is the investment needed to upgrade services, heating and finishes.
