Prepare to make an entrance at this grand Edwardian home. A tree-lined driveway winds through five acres of grounds to a secluded spot surrounded by mountains, where carefree days are spent dining alfresco or playing cricket, croquet or hide-and-seek. Inside, it’s surprisingly homely and perfectly equipped for large groups, with two kitchens and dining areas, multiple living spaces and cosy snugs, and ten characterful bedrooms. Hiking and cycling trails wind through the surrounding landscape, with lake activities close by, while the pubs and restaurants of Keswick are just a short stroll away.
