Summary - RED HOUSE LODGE UNDERSKIDDAW KESWICK CA12 4PY
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious Lakeland home with panoramic fell views and large garden.
Three double bedrooms, one with ensuite
A charming three-bedroom cottage in Underskiddaw, set within the Lake District National Park and presented in good, newly renovated condition. The house retains period character with stone walls and a wood-burning stove, while offering modern comforts such as a fitted kitchen, mains gas central heating and an ensuite to one bedroom. The property sits on a very large plot with a generous garden, garage/store rooms and driveway — excellent for family outdoor life and storage.
The standout selling point is the panoramic fell views, especially of the Skiddaw range, visible from both front and rear. Plans for an extension are available, offering clear scope to increase living space or add value. Parking is convenient with a garage and driveway, and the village setting benefits from very low crime levels and good local schools including an Outstanding secondary in Keswick.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is rated D, glazing was fitted before 2002 and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so further energy upgrades could be needed. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working. Council tax is band E (above average). The property is freehold and in a rural, remoter community — desirable for privacy but less convenient for some services.
Overall this is a well-presented period cottage with strong countryside appeal, substantial outdoor space and development potential. It will suit families or buyers seeking a peaceful Lakeland home with scope to personalise and improve energy efficiency.
