Nearly 2,000 sq ft – One of the Largest Apartments at Whinfell Court | Two Private Balconies, Open Views & Leisure Facilities | Now Under £500,000
One of the largest apartments within Whinfell Court, extending to nearly 2,000 sq ft, this exceptionally spacious and upgraded two/three bedroom, two bathroom home offers a rare combination of scale, flexibility and open views. Significantly larger than most comparable apartments currently available within the development, the property provides proportions more akin to a house — setting it apart from others at this price point.
Occupying a prime first-floor position, the apartment is filled with natural light and designed for both comfortable living and entertaining. A particular highlight is the presence of two private balconies, accessed from the principal reception spaces, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and offering multiple vantage points from which to enjoy the attractive open views — especially appealing as we move into the spring and summer months but also stunning in Autumn and Winter.
The apartment’s highly flexible layout further enhances its appeal. Currently arranged as a generous two-bedroom home, it also offers the option to create a third bedroom if desired, allowing buyers to tailor the space to their needs — whether that be spacious two-bedroom living, additional guest accommodation or a dedicated home office. Opportunities of this size, flexibility and position within the development are rarely available and with competing stock at lower price points lacking this level of space and outlook, early viewing is strongly recommended.
One of the apartment’s most captivating aspects is its connection to the outdoors. A large private balcony, accessed from both the sitting room and dining room via patio doors, provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or simply unwinding while taking in the lovely open views across the historic Whinfell Quarry Gardens and beyond. The elevated position enhances the sense of space, light and tranquillity, creating a peaceful retreat above beautifully maintained communal grounds.
The surrounding gardens are attractively landscaped and meticulously maintained, offering residents a serene and picturesque environment to enjoy throughout the seasons. For those seeking relaxation and wellbeing, the development also benefits from shared leisure facilities, including a swimming pool and a residents’ meeting and entertaining suite, ideal for both quiet enjoyment and social occasions.
The apartment itself is equally impressive, with a large, welcoming entrance hall leading to a stunning sitting room, a separate dining room (both opening onto the balcony) and a superbly appointed breakfast kitchen with a comprehensive range of built-in appliances. The spacious layout continues with a generous inner hall, a luxurious master bedroom with en suite bathroom and a large second bedroom, originally forming part of the three-bedroom design. A stylish shower room completes the accommodation.
The lifestyle appeal extends well beyond the development. Ideally positioned close to excellent local amenities and transport links, the property also enjoys immediate access to nature. It is within easy reach of Whirlow Park, perfect for leisurely walks and sits on the edge of the open countryside, bordering the Peak District National Park—offering endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits, from hiking and cycling to simply enjoying the stunning scenery. For a touch of heritage and culture, the magnificent Chatsworth House is just a 20-minute drive away.
Further benefits include a single garage with electric door, visitor parking and the rare combination of space, flexibility, privacy and leisure-focused living in a truly desirable setting.
