Description

Nestled in a serene landscape beneath Black Combe, this unique property comprises two distinct stone buildings: Whicham Mill and Swallow Barn. Each structure offers charm and privacy, ideal for those looking to invest in a peaceful Lakeland retreat with the added benefit of rental potential. With planning permission already granted to extend and reconfigure Whicham Mill, there is significant opportunity to increase living space by adding an extra bedroom and shower room, enhancing its market value. The interiors present a blend of character and practicality, featuring slate flag flooring and elegant wood-burning stoves that create inviting atmospheres. The spacious sitting room transitions into a dining kitchen equipped with shaker cabinetry, while the conservatory provides a bright area for relaxation or mudroom use after outdoor excursions. Upstairs, the principal bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings and a freestanding roll-top bath, offering a luxurious experience. Swallow Barn complements this with its open-plan layout and two well-appointed bedrooms across the hall from a central bathroom. Outdoors, the property is set on approximately 0.81 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds that include mature trees and ample parking spaces. Additional structures such as two stables and a garage allow for further development opportunities whether for equestrian interests or additional storage. This property not only serves as a comfortable residence but also as an excellent investment with ongoing renovation possibilities in an area ripe for outdoor adventures.
