About this property
This cute pod is situated on a working sheep farm, surrounded by stunning picture-postcard countryside and fells. Springtime is a special time of year to visit when the lambs are a joy to watch! Threlkeld village, with its country pubs, cricket pavilion and golf course, is just 1 mile away. Keswick is 4 miles away, with a good selection of independent shops, restaurants and cafes; it is possible to use the old railway line to walk into the town. Annually, usually in May or June, Keswick holds the Mountain Festival, which is a three-day event with world-class sports, outdoor activities, talks and films with live music. Derwentwater is just 12 miles away and offers some great water sport activities, or, if you prefer a more relaxing day out, visit one of the local distilleries.
Entering the pod, you will find a spacious and bright open-plan layout, with a sofa on one side and a smart TV and kitchen area on the other. The kitchen is compact but well thought out, with a two-ring gas hob, microwave, toaster, and fridge with freezer compartment. To the back of the pod is the double bed and the bathroom which has a shower and WC.
The pod has planting outside and a private decking area to the entrance with seating, private hot tub and expansive views. Private parking for one car is available.
