14 Ironworks Road, Backbarrow, Ulverston, LA12 8RF

A stunning three-bedroom duplex apartment set in the popular Lakeland Village village of Backbarrow. This exceptional property offers a perfect blend of modern living and serene countryside charm, making it an ideal 2nd home or holiday let and is currently successfully holiday let and is hoped will be sold with ongoing bookings.

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 believe 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 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.

This apartment offers its own private entrance and hallway and stepping inside, you are welcomed by the neutral décor, modern finishes and views of the River Leven. The contemporary kitchen, equipped with sleek, integrated appliances and ample storage, seamlessly flows into the dining and lounge space, creating a perfect setting for entertaining guests.

The apartment boasts three generously sized bedrooms, Bedroom 1 and 2 are on the upper floor and share an en-suite shower room with rainfall shower, wash hand basin and WC and bedroom 3 is situated on the second floor. The immaculate family bathroom, with Hansgrohe rainfall shower over bath, wash hand basin and WC is along the hallway. There is a cupboard that houses the Megaflow hot water system and one that houses the broadband and electrical board. There is also a storage cupboard on the second floor.

Outside the well presented communal gardens offer space to take a stroll or relax in the outdoors. Two designated parking spaces and visitors parking.

The viewing of this stylish apartment is recommended and is currently holiday let with the contents included (included contents, crockery, kitchenware, linens).
