Description

Westfield is the most attractive detached family house situated in a superb location on grounds of approximately 3.19 acres. The property was originally created in 1959 as a small holding/market garden and whilst never used as such instead it was significantly extended in two major redevelopments to the family home that it is today. The property is approached over a long sweeping driveway with a central island and ample parking spaces for several vehicles, with the formal gardens surrounding the property laid mainly to lawn providing a wonderful environment for this family house.

The property is approached through a large and welcoming reception hall which provides access to all the principal rooms. To the rear of the house is a large drawing room with open fireplace and double doors that lead out to the south on to a small terrace. There is a large dining room again with double doors to the south. In addition is a superb living room/study. The kitchen/breakfast room at the property is an exceptionally good size fitted with a range of base and eye level units with views on three sides over the gardens and grounds. A cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.
