An Exceptional Grade II Listed Farmhouse in Whitewell’s aonb.

Nestled in the heart of Whitewell's picturesque countryside, this distinguished Grade II listed farmhouse has been sympathetically restored to an exemplary standard. With sweeping views of the surrounding fells, the property seamlessly blends period charm with thoughtful modern enhancements. Handcrafted ‘Secret Drawer’ cabinetry features throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms, while original details such as mullioned windows, timber beams, and historic fireplaces are beautifully retained. Set within professionally landscaped gardens with a detached garage and summerhouse, this is a home of rare quality in an idyllic setting.

A traditional timber-panelled porch opens into a welcoming entrance, where original stone flag flooring and exposed timbers immediately establish the home’s character. A beautifully appointed cloakroom features oak tongue and groove panelling, a marble bowl basin on a bespoke oak vanity unit, and a low-level WC. The hallway is fitted with bespoke ‘Secret Drawer’ cabinetry, including a retractable oak writing table and integrated storage, with views through mullioned and sash windows making it ideal as a study area. Stone flag flooring continues into the inner hallway, flowing through to a practical utility room with fitted shelving, oak block work surfaces, and plumbing for laundry appliances. At the heart of the home lies a striking breakfast kitchen, combining rustic charm with refined functionality. A black enamel Aga is set beneath a timber mantle and mirrored recess, while the full 'Secret Drawer' kitchen includes hand-painted pippy oak cabinetry, Silestone surfaces, a double Belfast sink with timber drainers, and a tall larder and fridge-freezer. Dual-aspect windows and a stable door invite both natural light and garden access. The sitting room is centred around a traditional stone fireplace with handmade brick back and Clearview multi-fuel stove. Original beams and stone corbels accent the ceiling, while oak parquet flooring and a window seat in the mullioned window add further warmth. A second reception room offers remarkable period detail, with a carved Inglenook fireplace dated 1718, complete with cast iron stove. Sash and mullioned windows, oak parquet flooring, and exposed beams enhance the room’s historic charm, with direct access to the rear gardens.

A hand-painted staircase with matching timber panelling rises to a bright landing with beamed ceilings and lovely front-facing views. The principal bedroom includes a full wall of bespoke ‘Secret Drawer’ wardrobes and dual-aspect windows. Its en suite shower room is finished in travertine with a walk-in shower, walnut and ceramic vanity, underfloor heating, and chrome fittings. Bedroom Two features hand-painted bevelled glass-fronted wardrobes, sash mullioned windows, and original beams. Bedroom Three has a charming cast iron fireplace and window seat, while Bedroom Four is currently fitted with a freestanding glazed timber wardrobe and garden-facing views. The house bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a Villeroy & Boch bath, open marble-tiled shower with Samuel Heath fittings, a bespoke timber and marble vanity, underfloor heating, and chrome towel rails. Thoughtful lighting and exposed beams complete the space.

The farmhouse is approached via a private metalled drive with a detached double garage constructed in stone beneath a slate roof with power and light. An adjoining boiler room to the property houses the oil-fired central heating system and bunded steel oil tank. Further gravel and tarmac parking areas accommodate multiple vehicles. The principal garden to the northwest has been professionally landscaped with a feature pond, iron pedestrian bridge, and a variety of lawned levels and raised beds enclosed by mature hedgerows and silver birch. A handcrafted oak summerhouse provides a peaceful retreat, complete with tiled flooring, glazing, and full electrics.
