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. These include the Eden Bar & Restaurant, a heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym, alongside outdoor attractions such as a putting green, crazy golf and a network of scenic walking routes. 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.
