Set on a very large plot in the quiet hamlet of White Roding, The Whalebone is a substantial Grade II listed detached house that combines rural character with flexible accommodation. The main house offers four bedrooms including a large primary suite with en suite, generous reception rooms with exposed beams and brickwork, a country-style kitchen and separate utility — ideal for family living and entertaining.
A notable asset is the self-contained two-bedroom annex over two floors, currently used partly as a gym and linked to a double garage/studio; this creates options for multi-generational living, long-stay guests or rental income subject to any listed-building constraints. Gated parking provides space for multiple cars and the expansive rear garden and patio deliver private outdoor space for children, pets and gardening.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed property — repairs, alterations and extensions will be subject to listed-building consent and may restrict changes and add cost. Council Tax is banded high (Band F) and the property’s size and listed status mean ongoing maintenance will be material. Broadband speeds are fast but mobile signal is average and the house sits in an isolated, rural setting with limited immediate services.
Offered chain-free, The Whalebone suits families wanting countryside character with flexible annexe accommodation, or buyers seeking a country retreat with potential to enhance and personalise, provided they accept the responsibilities of a listed home.
