Description

16 Longcroft is situated in the Lakeland village of Braithwaite, built in the early 1950’s, the property offers good size accommodation as well as lovely outside space. The property was extended in 2017 to create a larger kitchen, study, fourth bedroom and WC

As you approach the house there is on road parking to the front. A gate gives access to the front garden and a path leading to the front door. Upon entering the property there is a good size lounge to the left which then follows into the study. Both rooms have wonderful views of Skiddaw and surrounding fells to the front and the Coledale Horseshoe to the rear. If you come in the front door and turn right, you enter in to a light and airy dining room that flows through to a great sized family kitchen, again both of these rooms have lovely views. Off the kitchen is a downstairs WC and utility room with access to the back garden. To the first floor there are two bedrooms that face the front, both with amazing views of the fells and a further two bedrooms facing the rear of the property with equally fine views. A family bathroom is also located on the first floor.

Braithwaite village is a very popular village with Keswick being only 3 miles away and there is easy access to Whinlatter Forest, Newlands Valley and surrounding fells. Braithwaite boasts a local primary school, village shop, public house and local cafes. The village is on the bus route going to Cockermouth to the west and then to Keswick, Penrith and the South lakes.
