Braithwaite is a delightful village offering all of the Lake District charm and views. There is a strong sense of community in the village and it also provides excellent facilities including restaurants, pubs, a cafe and village shop. The village also has a Church of England primary school, a village hall and the surrounding fells form the famous Coledale Horseshoe offering an excellent base for exploring some of the finest routes in the Lake District. It is a short drive or walk into Keswick town which provides a wider choice of amenities and an easy commute to a number of surrounding villages and towns including Cockermouth, Grasmere and Penrith. For those wishing to commute, the A66 provides easy access to the M6 and Penrith mainline railway station in around 20 minutes by car.

We understand that mains water and drainage are connected to the site, however, prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves regarding availability of services. 

From Keswick, proceed out of the town on to High Hill heading towards the A66. Turn left on to the A66 towards Cockermouth, continue past Portinscale, and Braithwaite is the next village along. Take the first left turning into the village and proceed along this road (past the cafe and the Royal Oak public house), then take the next left hand turn signposted Coledale. Continue up the hill (passing the Coledale Inn), until the very top before the gate onto the fell. The plot can be seen on the right hand side, currently the Orchard for Coledale Cottage - which is the last house on the right hand side before the fellside.
