Full description:
THE PROPERTY Westhill House comprises an imposing period property forming the major part of an elegant Grade II Listed building and situated close to the centre of the market town of Highworth. The property was originally constructed in the 17th century as a work house and was sold to the Church in the 1800s who subsequently extended it. More recently it has belonged to the Arkell family (of Arkells Brewery) and in the 1970s was divided into three separate units.
The property now offers extremely well presented and characterful accommodation offering a great deal of flexibility.
The ground floor offers a large reception hall, living room, dining room, drawing room, a newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and cellar. On the first floor are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and one en suite shower room with three further bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room on the second floor.
Outside there is a beautiful and well tended private walled garden and a small courtyard garden leading onto the gravelled driveway. The driveway is understood to be owned by Westhill House with right of access for the two neighbouring properties. There is an open fronted coachouse providing covered parking and two stables which are used as storage sheds.
The property has all mains services connected and the tenure is understood to be freehold. Early internal viewing of this lovely home is highly recommended.
