£900,000 - £950,000 Guide Price

Fine & Country are pleased to introduce Westwell, a truly magnificent family residence where charming period features blend seamlessly with desirable 21st century comforts and elegant contemporary interiors.

Originally constructed in the 1930s, Westwell has been thoughtfully reimagined by its current owners, who have worked with care and sensitivity to celebrate the character of the period, while enhancing the aesthetic and creating expansive, light-filled spaces. The carefully curated use of materials, walls adorned with wood panelling, exposed brickwork and rich timber floors—brings warmth and texture, while the architectural reconfiguration allows natural light to pour through, creating a home that is both stylish and inviting.

Step inside and you are welcomed by an invitingly generous hallway, setting the tone for the sense of space and comfort that defines this exceptional home. At its heart lies a beautifully hand-crafted contemporary kitchen, where marble and granite work surfaces combine with high-specification appliances to deliver a kitchen as practical as it is elegant. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area and on to an informal lounge, where French doors open onto the outdoor living space. A striking roof lantern fills this area with light by day, while a log-burning stove brings cosy warmth by night, perfect for relaxed family living.

Cleverly designed internal bi-fold doors offer the flexibility to connect the informal and formal reception areas, creating a truly inspired space for entertaining larger gatherings of family and friends, or closing to create more intimate spaces as the occasion demands. This seamless flow from indoor to outdoor space invites al fresco dining and effortless entertaining, whatever the season. Further versatility comes from an additional reception room, currently used as a playroom but easily adaptable as a ground-floor fifth bedroom, home office or snug. Practicality is woven into every corner of the home, with a dedicated utility room, cloakroom, boot room and ample storage completing the ground floor.

Ascend to the first floor and discover a sanctuary of calm and contemporary flair. Four generously proportioned bedrooms await, including a stunning principal bedroom complete with luxurious en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, offering both a walk-in shower and a freestanding roll-top bathtub, perfect for an invigorating start to the day or a long, relaxing soak.

Outside, Westwell continues to impress with its beautifully landscaped formal garden. A large wrap-around Indian sandstone terrace provides dedicated areas for an outdoor kitchen and hot tub, each sheltered beneath attractive oak-framed pavilions, creating the ultimate space for outdoor living and entertaining. A quaint wooden gate opens onto an expansive lawn, an ideal playground for children, while a path leads to a charming timber-clad cabin, currently used as a home office but equally suited to serve as a gym, games room or home cinema. The cabin’s pretty veranda offers an idyllic spot to relax and unwind, while a separate, beautifully crafted children’s cabin promises hours of fun. A large garden shed provides additional, practical storage.

The property is set beyond wrought iron gates, opening onto a spacious driveway with ample parking for numerous vehicles. The former garage has been cleverly converted to provide further internal accommodation, enhancing both space and versatility for modern family life.
