THIS week our top property in the Lake District is High Hill in Keswick. 

This character property is a Grade-II listed historic building which currently serves as The Bridge cafe and restaurant but could also serve as a holiday let or owner accommodation, the agents said.

The three-bedroom apartment above has been designed by an architect and is described as fully refurbished and immaculately presented throughout. 

It also has ample off-road parking and is in Keswick town centre; close to hotels, B&Bs and local amenities. 

Being in Keswick also means that it is within the Lake District National Park.
