The property offers around 3,300 square feet of well appointed living accommodation featuring a blend of period-style design elements and contemporary finishes throughout.

The ground floor offers an entrance porch leading to an inviting entrance hallway with dark solid oak floors and period-style steel radiators, leading to a series of well-proportioned rooms. The sitting room boasts a stone fireplace with a limestone hearth and a cast iron log burner, creating a cosy atmosphere. Adjacent to the sitting room is a study, featuring bespoke matt black finish built-in cupboards and shelving. The formal dining room also includes a stone fireplace with a slate half-cast iron log burner, and the kitchen areas provide the perfect space for entertaining. The upper kitchen is a bespoke handmade design, with solid wood cabinetry, marble-tiled floors, and integrated appliances. The lower breakfast kitchen, with French doors leading to the garden, is ideal for casual dining.

Upstairs, the spacious landing with bespoke built-in bookshelves and reclaimed wood handrails leads to five generously-sized bedrooms. The primary suite includes an en-suite shower room, a walk-in wardrobe with chrome hanging rails, and views over the rear garden. Three additional bedrooms are equipped with period-style radiators, and there is a luxurious family bathroom featuring a free-standing two-tone bath, a corner shower, and marble hexagonal tiling.

The outdoor space at Whitewell Cottage is a true highlight. The property sits on an extensive L-shaped plot with beautiful landscaped garden featuring multiple lawn sections, ideal for children to play or for enjoying peaceful afternoons. A raised blue slate seating area is perfect for alfresco dining or entertaining guests, accessible from both the kitchen and the living room. The garden also includes a stone pathway leading through the grounds, lined with mature trees and hedgerows for added privacy.

For those with a love of adventure, the property also features two treehouses, nestled among the trees, creating a magical retreat for children or a charming garden feature. Further enhancing the outdoor space, there is a secondary paved seating area, a log storage area, and a stone wall boundary to one side, with a hedgerow boundary at the rear.
