"A handsome Grade II Listed Georgian country house with extensive outbuildings, paddock and beautifully established gardens"
The Property
Waithman’s House is a substantial Grade II Listed Georgian country house set within approximately 3.78 acres in the village of Yealand Conyers. Dating from the early 1800s, with later Victorian additions, the house combines handsome period architecture with six double bedrooms, generous reception rooms, extensive cellars and a collection of traditional outbuildings.
The Georgian origins remain evident in the balanced elevations, sash windows and elegant proportions, while later additions have created the scale and flexibility required for modern family life. Period details include high ceilings, deep skirting boards and a traditional Victorian tiled entrance.
The entrance hall connects a choice of substantial reception rooms, each offering a different character and purpose. The principal dining room extends to more than 20 feet and provides an impressive setting for entertaining and family gatherings.
A separate sitting room offers a more intimate space, while the additional reception rooms provide considerable flexibility for use as a snug, playroom, library or home office.
To the rear, the kitchen enjoys views towards the gardens, while the conservatory creates another connection with the grounds. A utility room and WC complete the practical ground floor accommodation.
The first floor provides four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom measures approximately 20’9″ x 15’9″ and is complemented by a substantial dressing room and adjoining facilities. Three further double bedrooms share the family bathroom and separate shower room.
Two additional double bedrooms are arranged on the second floor, creating a total of six bedrooms and allowing plenty of flexibility for larger families and guests.
Extensive cellars beneath the house add valuable storage and further potential, while the collection of outbuildings includes a former coach house, substantial garage and store, and a separate barn.

Waithman’s House stands within approximately 3.78 acres of beautifully established gardens, grounds and adjoining paddock.
The formal gardens include mature lawns, established planting and a productive kitchen garden with raised beds and gravelled paths. A traditional stone bothy adds further character and practical storage within the grounds.
Beyond the gardens, adjoining paddock land creates scope for equestrian use, a smallholding or simply additional open space. The grounds enjoy wonderful countryside views towards Ingleborough.
