Fellside, Whitbarrow Residences, Berrier, Penrith, CA11

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.

Fellside: 

The Fellside is a beautifully crafted luxury lodge that celebrates its Lake District setting through bold architecture, thoughtful detailing and an unmistakable sense of calm. With its striking split-level roofline and fully glazed front elevation, the lodge is designed to frame the surrounding scenery perfectly, drawing natural light deep into the interior and ensuring the landscape remains a constant presence.

At the heart of the lodge lies an expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, arranged to feel both impressive and welcoming. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of volume, while a timber entrance partition subtly defines the space and adds warmth and character. The lounge area is anchored by a cosy inglenook-style fireplace, creating a natural focal point and an inviting spot to unwind after a day spent exploring the fells.

The interior palette is soft, layered and tactile, combining muted tones with whitewashed wood finishes and basket-weave lighting to create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Carefully chosen textures and luxury soft furnishings bring depth and comfort, ensuring the lodge ensures equally well-suited to social gatherings or quiet, restorative breaks.

The kitchen is sleek and fully equipped, featuring a comprehensive range of integrated Bosch appliances including an electric hob, eye-level oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, wine cooler and dual washer/dryer. A Quooker hot tap adds everyday convenience, while the open layout ensures the kitchen remains a sociable part of the living space rather than something tucked away.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to provide privacy and comfort, with three well-proportioned bedrooms accessed via an inner hallway. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom, both fitted with high-quality Hansgrohe fittings. Vaulted ceilings continue throughout the bedrooms, maintaining a consistent sense of space and light.

Outside, the generous terrace extends the living space even further and is furnished with Bramblecrest outdoor furniture. A private hot tub, pergola and outdoor BBQ create an inviting setting for al fresco dining or evening relaxation, allowing you to enjoy the Lake District’s ever-changing scenery in complete comfort.

Entertainment is well catered for, with Samsung TVs and a Sonos speaker system included as standard, while an energy-efficient A-rated boiler ensures year-round comfort. Built to British Standard 3632 and protected by a 10-year structural warranty, The Fellside offers peace of mind alongside its luxurious specification.

Offered on a 100-year licence and intended for holiday use only, The Fellside is not a residential home. 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. Elegant, atmospheric and thoughtfully designed, The Fellside is a refined Lake District retreat that blends architectural impact with warmth, comfort and an unmistakable sense of escape.
