The ironworks produced iron and steel from 1711 until its closure in 1966\. Now, the attractive and modern complex consists of several single—and double-story apartments that have been built to a high standard, and most, including No 5 - aptly named The Smelting Pot, benefit from views of the River Leven. The Smelting Pot is a modern apartment that spans two floors. The ground floor is the social space for family or friends to get together and cook a meal in the modern kitchen or perhaps enjoy a few drinks on the patio while the kids stream their favourite TV series—the choice is yours. The ground floor is open-plan and spacious, so you'll have no trouble relaxing, even with a full house. Also on the ground floor, in the entrance hallway, is a WC, a handy storage cupboard for coats, etc., and the stairs to the first floor. The stairs are carpeted, as are the three bedrooms, of which there are three: two double bedrooms with king-size double beds and a single bedroom. Two of the bedrooms have balconies, too, perfect for a morning coffee or a chilled afternoon with a good book. There are two bathrooms on the first floor, one of which is an en-suite with a walk-in shower, toilet and basin, and the second is the house bathroom with a bathtub and a shower over, toilet and basin. The Ironworks complex is located between the two villages of Backbarrow and Haverthwaite and just 2.5 miles from Lakeside at the southern tip of Lake Windermere, where you can hop onboard one of the Windermere Lake Cruises and sail up the Lake to Bowness, Brockhole or further to Ambleside. For a full-on adventure, why not catch the Haverthwaite Steam Train to Lakeside and leave the car at home? No 5 The Ironworks is perfectly suited for families or friends. Its central location makes it convenient to explore the whole of the South Lakes, including Windermere, Ulverston and Coniston.
