TAKE A WALK AROUND CHARCOAL HOUSE
Ashdown Jones is a bespoke estate agency, specialising in unique homes, in and around the Lake District. founded by co-directors Samantha Ashdown and Phil Jones, our mission is to change the way property is sold in the UK and make dreams come true.
​
Unique homes need a unique approach to marketing. whilst standard marketing strategies can be sufficient to sell houses in streets where the homes are mostly similar, marketing unique homes can be more challenging. often, it just takes one buyer to fall in love with your home and pay (almost) whatever is asked. finding that buyer takes time and specialist marketing skills, to tease out the very best elements of your home and present them in a polished, attractive way.
​
That's where we come in. we only sell unique homes, like yours. And that means we can specialise to attract only buyers who are keen to buy a unique home.
Lakes Build has decades of experience in
delivering quality homes using traditional materials in a contemporary fashion.
We offer professional and experienced help with your projects, helping to match your unique needs and budget. We strive to provide great customer service and clear communication so you can understand the progress of your job at every phase.
IRONWORKS HISTORY
Built in 1711 in Backbarrow by Isaac Wilkinson, and developed by his son John Wilkinson. This furnace was fuelled by charcoal and was the first of it's kind in the UK.
​
Backbarrow ironworks was in operation for more than 250 years. When work ceased in 1967 it fell into disrepair. The main products of the ironworks which was established in 1711 were gun carriages, cannons and cannon balls.
Iron ore was from Low Furness would arrive at the quays in Haverthwaite and then be transported to Backbarrow by horse and cart. The old furnace is believed to be the only remaining example of it's type. A large proportion of the site has been declared a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is one of the most at-risk industrial plots in England until its development which was completed in 2020.
​
In 2009 planning permission was granted to preserve the historical site.
