High Brow Edge Farm House
High Brow Edge Farm House is situated in the village of Backbarrow, 3-miles from Lakeside at the south end of Lake Windermere and the Windermere Steamers. The property dates back to the early 1700s, and it has recently been fully renovated to offer high-spec accommodation ideal for family holidays or friends to get away together.
Enter the property through the porched doorway into the beautiful and large open-plan kitchen and dining area that comprises a large solid-wood 8-seat dining table in front of the log-burning stove, perfect for a family feast.
The modern kitchen offers a breakfast counter, modern appliances, including a dishwasher, a 5-ring electric cooker and a double oven. Off the kitchen is the utility room, with a washing machine, WC and a door to the rear patio area. Additionally, off the kitchen is the living room with fabulously-comfy sofas, a log-burning stove and a sliding door leading to the rear patio and garden.
Upstairs are four light-and-bright bedrooms, one of which benefits from exposed wooden beams, a roll-top bath in the bedroom and a separate en-suite shower and loo.
The house is beautifully decorated and to a high standard. There are three double bedrooms and one twin bedroom plus the family bathroom with bath and shower over, loo and basin. All the bedrooms have large windows allowing loads of natural light in.
There is loads of outside space for the warmer days, perfect for a BBQ or a few drinks while relaxing and taking in the spectacular views across the whole valley. Or bring the bikes and cycle the many local lanes.

About the location
Though the line was closed in the 1960s with the demise of the forge, the section from Haverthwaite to Lakeside, which passes through Backbarrow, remains open as a heritage railway – Now referred to as the Haverthwaite Steam Railway.
The village is now primarily residential, but the village's central location makes it ideal for exploring the Lake District or perhaps visiting Cartmel (8-miles) to watch the horseraces. Nearby in Ulverston (7-miles), passing by the Sir John Barrow Monument on Hoad Hill (a replica of Eddystone Lighthouse), you can take the Coastal Route to Barrow with Conishead Priory and miles of shingle beach. Head on down to Roa Island and have a wander around the lifeboat station and take the little ferry over to Piel Island and visit the King of Piel and the seals.
Attractions within 3-miles include the Lakeside Aquarium, Haverthwaite Railway, Lakeland Motor Museum and the Windermere Lake Cruises linking you to Windermere, Brockhole Visitors Centre and Ambleside.
