On the Edges of Rutland Water, See Inside Whitwell House, Whitwell

Welcome to Whitwell House in Whitwell. Located in an easy strolling distance of Rutland Water, this beautiful grade two listed home also comes with a separate self-contained annex and other outbuildings and is in wraparound gardens. Follow me as I show you around. The unique style and grandeur of the home immediately reveals itself as you step inside you're greeted by this impactful and impressive entrance hallway. The double doors to my left lead into the first reception room. Let's take a look. With its welcoming wood-burning stove, the spacious and elegant drawing room has original cornice work and working shutters to the window that overlooks the side lawn. The charming period detail and grand proportions continue into the dining room and again that lovely original cornice work to the ceiling. You've also got a pair of doors to lead out to the side terrace and garden and a charming window seat. From there you'll find the perfect place to work or study from home with windows to two sides. Returning to the main entrance hallway by the original front door with stained glass detail, you'll find the first of two cloakrooms to the ground floor. You're joining me in this breathtaking breakfast kitchen. I love the curves and shapes in here, this is so chic and with that four oven electric agar that takes centre stage, you also are drawn to this lovely island here with room for barstool seating. This is surely the heart of the home. Moving on you'll find a rear hallway with door to the front of the home, a separate laundry room and the second guest cloakroom. With space for a dining table, this great size family room centres around a cosy wood burning fire. With its exposed limestone wall, the oak frame garden room with French doors overlooks the lawn, terrace and stream. Whitwell House has a wonderful and sociable flow to it with a door from here returning back to the main entrance hallway. Now let me show you around the rest of the home as we ascend that stunning staircase. The landing opens into a light-filled reading area with a window that overlooks the garden. And if you have more practical hobbies, a door from here leads the second floor where you'll find the perfect hobby room and also a luggage room. Perfect for large families, Whitwell House has six bedrooms located on this floor. With its sweet ornamental fireplace, this great size bedroom has a window that overlooks the side and a sumptuous ensuite shower room. This serene dual aspect bedroom has original shutters and a window seat that overlooks magnolia tree to the front of the home. There's also a luxuriously fitted ensuite shower room. Adjacent to here you'll find the third bedroom with fitted storage. This room is currently used as a dressing room. I love this bedroom with its high ceiling and window seat offering glimpses across the rooftops towards Rutland Water. It's also got the perfect place to work or study from home and a gorgeous bathroom with bath, separate shower, double basins Thoughtfully designed, a door from the bathroom returns back to the landing and opposite which you'll find the final two bedrooms. This pretty bedroom has a decadent ensuite shower room and benefits from fitted wardrobes and I love the shuttered and sash window that again grants those gorgeous views out to the front and the magnolia tree. The final double bedroom is also located to the front of the home. Before we return to the ground floor using the second flight of stairs let's admire that really pretty stained glass window. Arriving at Whitwell House the gated driveway leads to a large gravel parking area. From there a pathway leads over the sweet stream and bridge towards the home. The enchanting and well-maintained gardens are an entertaining haven. With it being in the centre of the grounds there are plenty of places to sit back relax and unwind to take advantage of full sun or shade. To the east and west side of the gardens you'll find two stone outbuildings, one used as workshop and store and the other as the self-contained annex.
