In the lush green Leven Valley, surrounded by woods and forest, relax in style at this chic top-floor duplex sitting in the grounds of the former ironworks, overlooking the River Leven in Backbarrow. Inside the Lake District National Park, less than 3 miles to Lake Windermere yet only a 20-minute drive from the M6. Sleeping five people over three bedrooms, it’s the ideal accommodation for families or groups in search of a modern Lakeland apartment to call home while they explore the area together. Take a ride on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway which is on the doorstep. Cruises on Lake Windermere, depart from Lakeside just down the road on to Bowness for the World of Beatrix Potter, Ambleside and beyond. Various nature reserves and mosses are nearby, Grizedale forest only a few miles. Alternatively, put on your glad-rags and treat yourself to a day at Cartmel Racecourse with or without Michelin star dinning! Lakeland Motor Museum and Lakes Aquarium are also both very close.


Arriving to a spacious hallway, on this floor you’ll find a lovely double bedroom, with views of passing steam trains. A smart bathroom with bath and shower over, the impressive heart of the home: a open plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the river and tree canopy. Full length balcony windows flood this space with natural light, creating a bright and cheerful space. Heavy weight curtains allow for cosy nights in. Head upstairs and you’ll discover an elegant, calm master bedroom, a good size single bedroom, as well as a sleek shower room.


This well-appointed apartment is well loved by the owners, as such you should find everything you may need.
