Description

Nestled in Backbarrow near Ulverston by the winding river of Leven is this contemporary semi-detached house, 21 Ironworks.

Boasting stunning views over the river and enjoying peaceful surroundings on the southern edge of the Lake District National Park, this is the perfect abode for a family of six who want to enjoy a rural getaway.

After parking in one of the two generous spaces, make your way inside to find stylish accommodation to make yourself at home in.

The open-plan living space has been fitted and decorated to a very high standard and you will especially notice this as you head over to the kitchen.

The kitchen boasts sleek black fittings containing integrated appliances for you to rustle up those homecooked favourites with, to be enjoyed at the close-by breakfast bar or the fabulous dining table that seats all the family.

After dinner, make yourself comfortable on the ample seating available in front of the Smart TV and enjoy some evening entertainment.

The dwelling additionally showcases a second-floor sitting room with a vaulted ceiling and VELUX windows that flood the space with light, along with spacious seating and a large Smart TV; perfect for movie nights!

When night falls, venture downstairs to find two tastefully furnished king-size bedrooms, one boasting a balcony, as well as black and grey accents, and the other showcasing dual-aspect windows and abundant storage.

A very spacious super-king-size room can also be found on this floor, featuring a vanity to prep yourself for the day with and accompanied by a fabulous en-suite shower room where you can freshen up in its walk-in shower with monsoon shower head.

An additional shower room can also be found adjoining the second-floor sitting room, as well as a handy cloakroom on the ground-floor, for extra convenience.

Why not sit out on the enclosed patio and relish a glass of wine or pint on a sunny afternoon?

Spend the day in Backbarrow and enjoy a pint at the local pub before touring the popular Lakeland Motor Museum, embarking on a mountain biking experience with the Lake District E Bike Adventures and boarding the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway to cut through the Lake District's dramatic landscapes.

Travel south to Ulverston to discover all your amenities in one setting, before enjoying a stroll around Canal Head park, embarking on a hike to the renowned Sir John Barrow Monument and enjoying a game of putty at the nearby golf course.

Why not travel to Grizedale and spend the day exploring its vast forest with its wealth of activities available, from Fell Pony Adventures to indoor/outdoor art exhibitions?

There is so much more to experience in the wider area, be sure to explore the National Park fully and visit its picturesque towns dotted throughout.

Be sure to venture to Cumbria's popular coastline and enjoy an outing in the delightful beachfront settlements of St. Bees and Seascale.

A blissful holiday with the family awaits at 21 Ironworks!

Wonderful, high quality property: very high spec, beautifully comfortable and very well located.

The house is extremely spacious but also manages to feel cosy, with all of the comforts of home. The kitchen/dining space is big and well appointed enough to easily self cater and the bedrooms are large, with plenty of storage and comfortable beds. The real highlight for us was the top floor lounge, complete with huge screen and multiple armchairs and sofas. After our days of walking and climbing we all enjoyed putting our feet up and watching a movie. Bliss! The location is easy to find and handy for the southern lakes: Bowness-On-Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Coniston (we climbed The Old Man) areas are all well under an hour away and there are loads of walks and climbs in the area. The local motor museum is beautifully curated and the cafe is nice; we also did an Escape Room and enjoyed that too and the white water river running through the village is really spectacular. There isn’t electric car charging possible at the complex, but there is a charger 5-10 min walk away in the village that you can use (it’s part of a cottage rental complex) - we used it twice and the availability was fine. If you’re a runner, there’s a 10km ‘there and back’ by following the back road through the village towards Lakeside (the road is very quiet until just before you get to Lakeside but becomes too busy when joining a larger road, so you’ll need to turn round and come back again at that point) Matt, Marita and boys (14 and 11)

We had a wonderful stay.

Everything was spotless and better than the photos on the listing. We did notice a small rip on the footstool in the upstairs TV room on arrival so we contacted Sykes to let them know. The beds were very comfortable and the area is peaceful so we slept very well. There is ample crockery and cutlery; the only thing we missed was a baking tray or two but we managed. There are lots of walks in the area and we loved being able to walk to Haverthwaite Station to catch the steam train to Lakeside then straight onto the boat across Lake Windermere to Bowness- an excellent day out. Thank you for having us.
