Summary - WHITBARROW LODGE WITHERSLACK GRANGE-OVER-SANDS LA11 6SJ
4 bed 2 bath Country House
Stately four-bedroom home with pond, terrace and modern eco systems in the Lake District.
Approximately 3,555 sqft of renovated Georgian accommodation
Whitbarrow Lodge is an elegant, newly renovated Georgian country house set within the Lake District National Park. Restored principal rooms retain period features — high ceilings, sash windows, ornate fireplaces and cornicing — while modern comforts include a three-year-old Howdens kitchen, new bathrooms with underfloor heating, and recent redecoration throughout. The house sits on around half an acre of landscaped grounds with a terrace, large pond, waterfall, lawns, and woodland, offering sweeping views and immediate access to countryside walks.
The property is highly efficient for its age: a new biomass boiler (bulk wood pellets) is complemented by solar panels and battery backup, plus upgraded services such as a private water filter system and B4RN super-fast broadband. Practical spaces include a large drawing room, dining room, study, utility, garage housing the biomass plant, plentiful parking and a working five-foot safe — useful for secure storage.
This is a substantial family home in a secluded, very low-crime hamlet setting, ideal for buyers seeking character, space and rural privacy within reachable distance of Kendal and Windermere. Note the remote tranquillity: mobile signal is average and the property feels set apart from neighbours, which suits wildlife lovers but may be less convenient for those wanting immediate urban services.
Important practical considerations: the house sits in a conservation/national park location and retains traditional stone walls assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance and potential further insulation works. The property uses a private water supply and septic tank and falls into a high council tax band, all factors to budget for alongside the purchase price.
