The houses here

What Keswick is actually built of.

Keswick, Bassenthwaite and Threlkeld are Lakeland stone and slate. Older cottages, big Victorian houses, and a great many properties let out for part of the year. A holiday let is a different brief from a family house. It has to look right in photographs. It has to survive changeover after changeover without marking.

We have worked on both kinds up here. A barn conversion at Bassenthwaite, under the roof trusses. A fitted library and media wall at Threlkeld, facing the fells through a picture window. Both are rooms where the view is the point, and the furniture has to know that.

Questions from Keswick

Do you fit kitchens in holiday lets around Keswick?

Yes. A let needs a harder-wearing spec than a family kitchen in some ways, and a more photogenic one in others. Both are easier to hit when the furniture is made to order instead of chosen from a range.

Can you make furniture that works around a view?

That is usually the whole job up here. At Threlkeld we built a library and media wall facing a window onto the fells. That meant keeping the joinery under the line of the glass, and putting the storage where it would not fight the view.
