House For Sale £1,250,000
Whitwell House is a fabulous Grade II listed Georgian home offering some wonderful character elements and substantial five bedroom family sized accommodation. The original Georgian house has been extended over the years with bay windows and a garden room added in the late 1920's/early 1930's and the Orangery was added by the current owner in 1996.
Most recently the sash windows have all been renovated using Fineo ultra-thin double glazing giving exceptional thermal insulation and increasing the energy efficiency.
The formal gardens are stunning and there is a lovely selection of outbuildings and barns to suit every purpose. A really special home within a desirable village location.
