Whoop Hall near Kirkby Lonsdale, a historic Cumbrian landmark with a resident ghost, is currently on the market for £1,250,000. The old building, known as ‘The Whoop’, has been under family ownership for many decades and has served as a hotel, restaurant, bar, and function venue in recent years.
Dating back to the 17th century, the site initially served as a coaching inn and has undergone various changes over the years to cater to both locals and visitors. The property boasts 24 en-suite bedrooms, extensive bar and dining facilities, as well as private and staff living quarters. Despite the changes, one thing that has remained constant is the presence of a resident ghost of a coachman who never left, adding to the hall’s long and colorful history.
Adjacent to the hotel is the Kirkby Lonsdale Health Club, which was added in the early 2000s and offers indoor pool, spa, sauna, steam room, gym, and treatment areas. Operated by Energize Community Active Ltd, the health club has a thriving membership and is considered an important local asset.
The sale of Whoop Hall is being managed by Alastair McDowell MRICS of Atkinson Associates, who sees this as a rare opportunity to acquire a property of this caliber. The site also has potential for further development and alternative uses, subject to the availability of appropriate consents.
