Welcome to Broadgate House

Broadgate is a traditional Georgian house, built in 1819 with stunning views across the Duddon Estuary; landscape immortalised in Wordsworth’s poetry. The sole occupants of Broadgate for almost 200 years have been the Lewthwaite family and following an extensive but sympathetic redecoration in 2000, this splendid villa remains a late Georgian gem.

The fine proportions and subtle beauty of the house and gardens compliment the idyllic rural setting wonderfully well. On entering, the visual feast continues as a series of sumptuously decorated reception rooms radiate from the light and airy hall. A Baroque drawing room features a magnificent and imposing black marble fireplace and offers majestic easterly views across rolling Lakeland fells.



Broadgate makes the perfect base for touring the Western Lake District by foot, bicycle or car, taking in the pleasures of this beautiful area without the crowds. Sporting types can choose from a number of lovely golf courses, ride the renowned Cumbrian heavy horses along the beach and through the fells, enjoy the beach at Silecroft and the watersports at Coniston among many other activities.
