About this property

  • Whindale House is a highly impressive Victorian house dating back to 1830 which has undergone a comprehensive process of renovation and extension to create an excellent family home. Offering over 4000sq ft of high specification accommodation, the house boasts both stylish and practical living arrangements designed to capture the best of the period details but emphasising on modern characteristics.

    The ground floor is entered by its stunning entrance hall complete with what is believed to be the original Victorian staircase. This welcoming space with attractive panelling leads into two spacious reception rooms currently utilised as a formal dining room and a snug sitting room. These could easily be used as playrooms or tv rooms if desired and both feature fireplaces. A generously proportioned drawing room features fine views over the gardens as well as a wood burner within the fireplace and a particularly charming detail whereby the owners have retained the original pillars to the porch and used them to separate the space between the garden room and drawing room. The standout space of the property is without doubt the Kitchen/dining/family room which features a bespoke vale kitchen complete with central island unit, another fireplace with a Jotul wood burner, travertine flooring and more tasteful panelling. This is a space which works so well for both families and couples alike with a clear vision to being the most sociable room in the house.

    An integral double garage leads into further storage rooms which could offer potential for incorporated into the house as extra accommodation and in particular a first-floor room above the garage would make for a good games room or perhaps working from home space. The ground floor is completed with a separate cloakroom.

    To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms all featuring en suite facilities with free standing baths and two of which also contain walk in showers as well as two of the rooms benefitting from built in wardrobes. The landing which boasts plentiful natural light contains a Juliet balcony making the most of the views over farmland and the owners have informed that planning permission is in place for a larger balcony should a buyer prefer to make an alteration. This area would make for an excellent study space or reading area.

    Outside
    The property is approached via a brick pillared entrance leading to a sweeping carriage gravel drive and round to the integral double garage. The plot of about 2.3 acres is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and trees in place giving wonderful screening and privacy as well as a patio terrace being the ideal place for outdoor cooking and entertaining.
