Jesmond Cottage

Jesmond Cottage Charming 18th century cottage in Stainton, Cumbria on the edge of the Lake District.

As a child I lived in the Lakes with my parents, attending primary school in Cockermouth and secondary school in Keswick. Since leaving, I have returned as often as possible, always having that feeling of returning home as the fells came into view welcoming me back. Over the years I have regularly returned, bringing family and keeping in touch with old friends as we explore the fells, lakes and s

urrounding countryside. My father and I shared a long-standing dream of owning a property in the Lakes - but turning that into a reality took decades. In the end, it was the passing of my Mum that provided both the means and incentive to actually do so - and we bought Jesmond Cottage in her memory. The cottage, which is a work in progress, is in the lovely village of Stainton, just off the A66 - 5 minutes from Ullswater, and 20 minutes from Keswick. We are currently in the middle of our first set of improvements including the installing of environmentally-friendly central heating, double glazing, and a new bathroom and kitchen. By April 2019 the work will be complete, and we look forward to welcoming visitors to our dream cottage - so please do have a look, and maybe book a visit to Jesmond Cottage!

Perfect day for a walk and 5 more Wainwrights in hand! The views were amazing if a little breezy at the tops!

Visited Crummock Water today, lovely walk along the river looking for Dippers and the low cloud makes everything look spectacular. We even saw someone having a swim! Not warm enough for me!

We’ve been getting the cottage ready and looking it’s best for the new season! Despite the rain, the Lake District is looking great! We especially enjoyed the daffodils in Patterdale church yard!
