Perfect for couples or solo adventurers, this stylish one-bedroom flat sits on the banks of the River Leven, in the beautiful Lake District just outside Backbarrow. Once the site of a historic ironworks, the development is surrounded by miles of scenic walking and cycling trails and glimpses of fascinating industrial heritage. Haverthwaite village (1.5 miles) marks the start of the heritage Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway for a dose of nostalgia. Windermere, home to England’s largest lake, is just 2.5 miles away, while Fell Foot Park, the Lakes Aquarium, Stott Park Bobbin Mill and Gummer’s How are all within 4 miles. For a day trip, head to Ulverston (7 miles), the birthplace of Stan Laurel and home to the charming Laurel and Hardy Museum.
Step into this first-floor apartment and into the open-plan living space, where a soothing neutral palette sets the tone for relaxed, modern living. This bijou bolthole offers contemporary, sophisticated, modern style throughout. A corner dining table makes the perfect spot for morning coffee or leisurely breakfasts with views out of the window, while the kitchen is neatly arranged for ease and style. Across the hallway, an inviting king-size bedroom offers a peaceful night’s sleep, with large windows so you can let the natural morning light in during a breakfast in bed. A chic bathroom completes the interior, featuring both a bath and a separate shower – plus a handy WC next door.
Outside, sit and relax in the front terrace with seating – fab for soaking up the sun – and a back terrace overlooking the river. This is complete with a cocoon swing where you can sit and read with those delightful river views. There’s private parking for one car.
