Iconic design by C.F.A Voysey

Built in 1899 as a family lakeside retreat – and since 1950 the home of Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club – Broad Leys retains much of Voysey’s original design aesthetic and original features.
This guide explains the history of the house - from lakeside family retreat - to wartime hospital - to motorboat club and powerboat racing venue.
