Brief Résumé

Outstanding five bedroomed Edwardian family home with private garden in elevated rural location within 1.5 miles of Keswick town centre. Fabulous views from most rooms towards Derwentwater, Borrowdale and the surrounding Lakeland Fells.

Description

Lonnin Garth is a delightful family home, built in approximately 1905, providing characterful and practical accommodation with stunning features such as a traditional Lakeland canopied entrance porch, spacious reception hall with beautiful staircase, original features and exceptional views. Built into the hillside with split-level accommodation which has been extended and adapted over the years with options to accommodate a dependant relative, create a separate work/office space or the opportunity of providing you with an additional income.

The comfortable living areas include two large reception rooms, farmhouse-style dining kitchen with range cooker and walk-in larder, outside utility, five double bedrooms with en-suite facilities, family bathroom, hobbies room and office. Self contained guest room/potential Airbnb with independent access and parking. 

The property is set back from the A66 within lawned wrap-around gardens, lovely patio areas, ample off-road parking, detached garage and footpaths into the surrounding countryside.

This substantial period residence is steeped in history having originally been commissioned in 1905 by the Lakeland conservationist and poet Canon Rawnsley, a co-founder of the National Trust, and is featured in the D.C. Thompson poem "At Lonnin Garth by Portinscale" as published in the 1922 edition of Oxford Poetry. Lonnin Garth is included in the 1912 edition of Country Cottages and Weekend Homes by J.H. Elder-Duncan.
