37 Ironworks, Ironworks Road, Backbarrow, Nr Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 8RF

37 Ironworks is just as impressive inside as it is out. The rooms are spacious and light, the decor tasteful and neutral - it will have a broad appeal and is turn key ready. Unusually, this Apartment is arranged over 2 floors so definitely has more of a contemporary house feel. The communal stairwell is well maintained and stairs lead up to the private entrance door which opens into the Hallway with understairs storage cupboard. Recessed ceiling spot lights and wide board grey wood effect flooring. The Open Plan Living/Dining/Kitchen is dominated by the view through the glass doors to the superb Balcony. This room is spacious enough for all 3 functions and has a continuation of the grey wood effect flooring. The Kitchen occupies approximately a third of this space and has very attractive, sleek, dark grey wall and base cabinets with white 'silestone' work surface and inset sink. Integrated fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. Built in electric oven and ceramic hob. Two windows to the rear and large glazed doors lead on to the Balcony. What a lovely space! Covered so as to be enjoyed whatever the weather, catching the morning sun and enjoying the wonderful view of the river. Bedroom 1 is a good sized double with 2 fitted double wardrobes and a front aspect with views towards Haverthwaite Heights. The Bathroom has attractive tiled walls and a modern 3 piece white suite comprising WC with concealed cistern, bath with rain shower over and wall mounted wash hand basin. Wall mounted towel rail.

From the Entrance Hall stairs lead up to the Second Floor where there are a further 2 Bedrooms. Bedroom 2 is a good sized double with roof window and charming rear view over the river. Bedroom 3 is a smaller double with twin roof windows and eaves storage. The Shower Room serving this floor is a very similar style to the Bathroom below but having a shower enclosure instead of a bath.

Externally there is a private Parking space and Visitor Parking. 

Location This wonderful Apartment is situated in the popular Lakeland Village of Backbarrow, approx 1 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 the Furness Area and the M6 Motorway at Junction 36.

The backdrop is formed by the historic Ironworks, with evidence of this bygone industrial age still evident within the site. Backbarrow is now by comparison something of a quiet backwater, and this Apartment is a place of peace and tranquility. True, you can still sit and admire the steam trains 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.

From the South follow the A590 past Newby Bridge taking the second right into Backbarrow. Go past 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 37 is located fairly centrally.
