Description

Description: A stylish purpose built 3 bedroomed duplex apartment located in the village of Backbarrow. Easily managed as a lock up and leave, holiday let or permanent home.
The apartment comprises of its own private entrance, open plan living space with fitted kitchen, a well proportioned double bedroom with an ensuite shower room, plus a stylish separate bathroom on the upper floor. There are also two further bedrooms and an additional downstairs WC. The complex includes communal grounds, designated parking for two cars and a communal bike store.  

Location: This wonderful 3 bedroomed duplex apartment is situated in the popular Lakeland Village of Backbarrow, only about a mile from Newby Bridge and the foot of Lake Windermere. The property is well placed for access to all of the amenities of the Lake District National Park as well as to the Furness Area and the M6 along the A590. From the South follow the A590 past Newby Bridge turning right into Backbarrow. Pass the Whitewater Hotel and Leisure Club and shortly after you will see this distinctive development on your left hand side. On entering The Ironworks, you will find number 24 towards the Northern end of the development (left as you enter) and has its own private front door on the ground floor.  

Property Overview: Stylish and distinctive, 'The Ironworks' is perhaps the stand-out development of new accommodation within the Lake District National Park in recent years. It is rare to find new apartments which are not subject to a local occupancy restriction within the National Park, but these stylish homes can be lived in, holiday let, long term let or enjoyed simply as the perfect "lock up and leave" weekend retreat.

The backdrop is formed by the historic ironworks dating back to 1711 and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument with evidence of this bygone industrial age and the blast furnace was one of the first charcoal-fired blast furnaces in Cumbria and believed to be the only remaining example of its type and is still evident in the charm of the surrounding buildings and yet this is a different world from how it must have been all those years ago. Backbarrow is now by comparison something of a quiet backwater, and this apartment a place of peace and tranquillity. True, you can still sit and admire the steam train passing to and from Haverthwaite from time to time, harking back to a different era, but the overriding feeling as you gaze out onto the River Leven is now one of restfulness.

The apartment itself is stylishly designed and finished, with all of the comfort which 21st century living demands. The accommodation comprises of entrance hall, open plan living area with fitted kitchen and ample space for dining, leading to private covered seating area overlooking the river. Moving up to the first floor there is a well proportioned double bedroom with balcony and a lovely modern ensuite shower room. Plus a further two bedrooms, one with a balcony, and an additional sophisticated bathroom. Outside there are well presented communal grounds and two designated parking spaces together with various visitor spaces.

The contents apart from personal effects may be available subject to further negotiations.
