Offering timeless charm and countryside elegance, this beautifully proportioned Grade II listed residence sits within the picturesque village of Yealand Conyers a highly sought after, yet well connected location. Nestled within 3.78 acres (1.5 hectares) or thereabouts, of landscaped gardens, grounds and adjoining land, this substantial home offers historic grandeur, balanced with a rural life.

Dating back to the early 1800’s, the original part of the property offers excellent Georgian architecture which is complemented by a later Victorian extension. The symmetry of the property including sash windows, high ceilings and deep skirting boards, all add to its charm and elegance whilst being adapted over time to accommodate modern living.

Enjoying a desirable position on the edge of Yealand Conyers, which is a peaceful and picturesque village within the Arnside and Silverdale Protected Landscape. Despite its peaceful rural position, the property offers excellent connectivity. The nearby A6 provides links to Carnforth, Lancaster and Kendal, while the M6 motorway Junction 35 is just a short drive away.

Rail links from Carnforth and Lancaster offer regular mainline services including direct trains to Manchester and London Euston. For families, the area is well served, by a selection of local primary schools including a primary school within the village itself. The location also sits within the catchment for highly regarded secondary schools including the Royal Grammar Schools in Lancaster. Despite its size, the village has a thriving community and a welcoming atmosphere, which is supported by the local village pub, the New Inn, which is situated just a short stroll away.

At first glance, Waithman’s House appears a more modest period property than what is truly on offer. Beyond its
traditional frontage, is a beautifully extended and
thoughtfully designed property, which unfolds into generous living spaces offering multiple reception rooms, stunning
garden room and a choice of bedrooms.

On entering the property, a Victorian tiled entrance leads to three distinctive reception rooms, a bright conservatory and garden room and a well-appointed family kitchen with views over the garden. The property has been a much-loved family home for many years and now offers the scope and
potential for purchasers to add their own tastes and
specifications.

Upstairs, the accommodation provides six double
bedrooms which are arranged over two floors, including an impressive principal bedroom suite with dressing area and ensuite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms on the first floor share the house bathroom. The second floor provides a flexible space ideal for additional
bedrooms, a home office or studio space, depending on the requirements of the purchaser. For convenience, there is a further shower room located on this floor, making it ideal for guests and growing families alike.

In addition, there is a large cellar which adds further practicality and offers superb storage, from wine and preserves to utility space, and also houses the boiler. The former coach house barn and garage is easily accessed from the rear and side of the property and offers superb storage and space with excellent potential for a variety of uses, including space for parking, as well as an additional parking in front of the garage area.

This characterful outbuilding is part of the property's listing and could be adapted, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Outside, the grounds of Waithman’s House are as impressive as the inside. To the side, there is a formal lawn framed by stone walls and mature planting, which is perfect for summer evenings and garden games. There is a beautifully planned kitchen garden with gravelled paths, raised beds and a traditional stone bothy offering an ideal haven for growing produce and flowers.

Beyond, the lawned garden flows into a ha-ha. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres, or thereabouts and gently lead to a separate sloping paddock which extends to 3.07 acres, or thereabouts. The house and gardens enjoy stunning views over open countryside from every vista with an outlook towards Ingleborough; and the grounds offer excellent equestrian and smallholding potential, ideal for those looking for that bit more space.

Whether its character, space or lifestyle that you need, this beautiful residence has it all.
