Description

LOT ONE: WHITEHOUSE FARMHOUSE AND BUILDINGS

Whitehouse Farmhouse, Traditional and Modern Outbuildings, and Farmyard

Extending to 5.57 acres (2.26 hectares)

WHITEHOUSE FARMHOUSE

Whitehouse Farmhouse sits within attractive grounds, including a small ring lake with an ornamental bridge. A number of paddocks and areas of woodland are also included within Lot One, situated directly east of the main drive and north of the house and outbuildings, extending in total to 2.42 acres of pasture and 0.41 acres of woodland. The property also benefits from an attractive range of traditional and modern outbuildings, including a traditional timber framed barn and a substantial range of modern agricultural buildings and a yard, which benefit from separate access to the main house.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads into a spacious family kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and adjoining pantry. From here, a doorway opens into the dining room, which houses the main staircase and features a traditional fireplace. This in turn leads to the principal drawing room with an impressive inglenook fireplace. Beyond the drawing room is a study and a separate downstairs bathroom. Within the north wing of the house is a rear hallway with back staircase and WC, providing access to a large library.

The first floor offers six bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, together with a substantial family bathroom in the northern wing. The floor is served by two staircases: the northern staircase rising from the rear hall, and the main staircase accessed from the dining room. A further spiral staircase connects the first and second floors.

The second floor provides a twin bedroom with en suite, along with four attic store rooms offering excellent scope for further conversion or generous ancillary storage.

OUTBUILDINGS

A set of attractive traditional and more modern brick outbuildings are situated directly around Whitehouse Farmhouse. To the north of the main house lies the principal group of buildings, including an impressive ‘T shaped’ timber barn. Currently used for general storage, this barn offers potential for conversion to a range of alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents. Adjoining the traditional barn is a more modern triple garage, also used for general storage but providing a well proportioned space suitable for vehicle and general storage.

Within the immediate grounds of Whitehouse Farmhouse is an attractive double greenhouse and walled garden, a small quarter circle orangery, in addition to a traditional cart shed with two double doors, providing further useful storage accommodation within the curtilage of the house.

MODERN AGRICULTURAL OUTBUILDINGS

To the west of the main house and grounds is a set of portal framed agricultural buildings and grain stores. Benefiting from a separate access directly off Denton Road to the large concrete yard, these buildings offer practical scope for agricultural or alternative uses. Their inclusion with Whitehouse Farmhouse provides valuable additional capacity and flexibility for a range of future requirements.
