Owner profile
Lakes in Winter
About the owner
I live in England with my husband and 2 young boys. My husband works in the legal field and I run our holiday and long-term rentals business. When not working we spend our holidays between France and the Lakes, both which we love dearly and hope to spend our retirement in.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
My husband boarded at Keswick School and he has always loved this part of the lakes so much so we have bought the house we wish to retire to. We love the seasons there and enjoy everything it has to offer all year round especially the walking, mountain biking, sailing and, most importantly, the Jennings beer and extremely good cake!
