The Residences at Whitbarrow. A truly magnificent site that stands alone within the offerings of the Lake District. A masterpiece of landscaping and residences set against the majestic backdrop of Blencathra and The Helvellyn Range.

The Residences at Whitbarrow offer a rare opportunity to combine indulgent escapes with a savvy investment. Designed as a contemporary retreat in a truly standout setting, these luxury lodges are perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views towards Blencathra and the Helvellyn range, placing some of the region’s most iconic landscapes firmly on your doorstep. It’s the kind of location that works just as hard for rental appeal as it does for personal enjoyment.

Fully furnished and ready to use from day one, each residence has been thoughtfully designed with modern holiday living in mind. Natural textures, muted tones and refined finishes create interiors that feel calm, stylish and timeless rather than trend-led, while expansive glazing draws the dramatic scenery straight into the living space. Open-plan layouts, vaulted ceilings and sliding or Crittall-style doors blur the line between indoors and out, opening onto generous private terraces that are perfect for morning coffee, sunset drinks or simply watching the weather roll across the fells.

Ownership comes with access to Whitbarrow’s excellent on-site leisure facilities, adding significant appeal for guests and owners alike.

A concierge service further enhances the experience, ensuring stays are relaxed, easy and well managed.

From an investment perspective, The Residences at Whitbarrow are particularly compelling. There is no council tax or stamp duty to pay, and owners can generate income through subletting, offering flexibility between personal use and holiday letting. The Lake District’s continued popularity for high-quality accommodation means demand remains strong throughout the year, making these lodges well suited to those seeking a low-maintenance, lifestyle-led investment.

Peakview:

The Peakview is a statement lodge in every sense – an elegant, design-led retreat that elevates Lake District living to something truly special. Created to sit in harmony with its spectacular surroundings, this luxurious lodge pairs bold contemporary architecture with indulgent comfort, offering a place to slow down, switch off and savour the view.

Step inside and you’re immediately struck by the sense of light and space. Vaulted ceilings run throughout the lounge and bedrooms, while fully glazed Crittall-style doors stretch across the front of the lodge, opening seamlessly onto a generous private terrace. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is both refined and welcoming, perfectly suited to entertaining or simply stretching out after a day on the fells. Expansive windows frame the ever-changing Lake District landscape, ensuring the view is never more than a glance away.

The kitchen is beautifully specified and designed to be as practical as it is stylish, featuring a full suite of integrated neff appliances including an electric hob, eye-level oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, wine cooler and dual washer/dryer. A Quooker hot tap adds a touch of everyday luxury, while clean lines and high-quality finishes keep the space feeling calm and contemporary.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom complete with a striking freestanding bathtub – perfect for long, unhurried soaks. Throughout the lodge, luxury soft and hard furnishings have been carefully selected to complement the architecture and enhance the feeling of understated indulgence.

Outside is where The Peakview truly comes into its own. The expansive terrace is furnished with Akula outdoor furniture and features a private hot tub, outdoor BBQ, pergola and even an outdoor sauna, creating a spa-like setting that makes the most of the surrounding scenery. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee in the fresh air or watching the sun dip behind the hills from the warmth of the hot tub, this is outdoor living at its finest.

Entertainment is equally well catered for, with Samsung TVs and a Sonos speaker system included as standard, allowing you to set the mood whether indoors or out. An energy-efficient a-rated boiler ensures year-round comfort, while the lodge is built to British Standard 3632 and protected by a 10-year structural warranty for added peace of mind.

The Peakview is offered on a 100-year licence and is intended for holiday use only. An annual service charge applies (from £8,000 plus VAT), with utilities billed quarterly, and owners are required to arrange home insurance for their Residence. Combining striking design, exceptional specification and a setting that never fails to impress, The Peakview is the ultimate Lake District escape – a luxurious home-away-from-home where every stay feels like a special occasion.
