Externally there is a driveway, potential for a garage, a good sized garden from which to enjoy the outstanding views can be enjoyed.

The property is approx 8 miles south of Keswick on the B5289 road in the wonderful Borrowdale valley, at the east foot of the Honister Pass and to the south of Derwentwater. Keswick is a bustling market town situated in the Lake District National Park and Unesco World Heritage Site about 18 miles west of Penrith and junction 40 of the M6 Motorway via the A66.

From the office head on to St John's Street then right on to Derwent Street. At the end of the street with the George Fisher outdoor shop ahead of you, bear left on to Borrowdale Road. Upon reaching the roundabout, head straight over on to the B5289 passing Grange and Rosthwaite. The property is accessed via a lane on the right hand side of the road, opposite the turning for Stonethwaite, signposted for Youth Hostel. Borrowdale Cottage is a short distance along on the right hand side of that lane, before the hump back bridge through the wooden gate.
