Rockdene
Location Cumbria
Location location location! These interesting properties were created from the conversion of a 19th century gentleman's residence built into the cliff in the heart of 'old' Grange. In the early 1800s when Rockdene was built the waters of Morecambe Bay lapped the garden wall and the wow factor still exists at delightful Dolphin Cottage with its picture windows and private balcony affording breathtaking 180o views across the waters of the Bay to the Lakeland fells. Approached by a side passageway Apartments One and Two Rockdene are both simply and traditionally furnished (and priced accordingly) ideal for visitors who like to be out and about sampling the wealth of delights this area has to offer. Once a fishing village transformed by the advent of the Furness Railway into a fashionable Victorian and Edwardian resort Grange over Sands today is a relaxing oasis in the English Lakes featuring shops selling local produce a long traffic-free promenade ornamental gardens a duck pond golf courses brass band concerts and vantage points for bird watching. Cartmel village with its medieval Priory and picturesque National Hunt racecourse the Lakeland Miniature Village Ducky's Park Farm and Arnside Knott (N.T.) are among the myriad attractions within a few miles of the town.
Rockdene accesses the village via a private road at the top of the cliff whilst the foot of the property accesses the promenade and public ornamental water gardens. Tea rooms a pub serving food and a selection of shops are about 700 yards away and golf is available nearby.
