West End House truly has everything you could desire in a home. Its internal living space surpasses expectations, seamlessly blending old farmhouse features with modern accents to create a beautifully finished interior. The expansive wrap-around garden, meticulously manicured, offers a serene outdoor retreat. The triple garage provides ample space not only for cars but also for storage, and even a workshop if desired. If that wasn’t enough, the detached annexe, complete with its own bathroom, adds further versatility, serving a multitude of purposes to suit your needs. Truly a rare gem that simply must be experienced to fully appreciate its exceptional qualities.

 Nestled behind solid brick perimeters, the property enjoys a serene setting, accessible through an electric gate that leads to a winding driveway alongside the house. Welcoming you is a wonderful large wooden entrance door flanked by glass windows, flooding the expansive entrance vestibule in natural light. Exposed wooden beams adorn this luxurious yet timeless space, adding to its character and charm. Inside, cottage-style windows, exposed beams, wooden internal doors, and an abundance of character continue to define the property's unique appeal. The hall has internal doors leading to the lounge, basement and the kitchen/dining/living area, which spans the complete depth of the house. The living area, featuring elegant wooden parquet flooring, is lit through windows which frame the feature fireplace, creating a fabulous focal point. Complete with a wooden mantelpiece, slate hearth, and log burner, the fireplace sets the scene for cosy evenings. Adjacent to the living area is the original entrance vestibule, showcasing the refurbished front door dating back to 1743. Original tiling and feature wooden doors adorned with stained glasswork further enhance the history of this home. Moving into the bespoke-fitted kitchen, contemporary farmhouse-style wall and base units provide ample space and storage with solid granite-topped worksurfaces, while an island adds additional workspace and storage, along with a breakfast bar seating area. The kitchen is equipped with a double Belfast sink featuring a Quooker boiling water tap, as well as integrated appliances including a dishwasher, steamer, wine fridge, and a Smeg Range oven, ensuring a seamless and ready-to-move-in finish. The dining room, found to the rear of the house, is flooded with natural light thanks to two Velux windows, plus French doors leading out onto the garden. This area offers more than enough room for a dining table and chairs, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, especially with the benefit of electric underfloor heating. The lounge, situated at the front of the property, features wooden flooring and a captivating feature fireplace, with a wooden beam mantle and stone hearth, complemented by a lovely log burner, creating a cosy feel. Leading off from the lounge, you will find a door leading to an inner hallway, where there is a convenient downstairs WC and a highly practical utility room, offering direct access to the garden. The utility room is equipped with a sizable Belfast sink, while providing ample space for a washing machine and dryer, along with plenty of worktop space and storage units.

 To the first floor, you're greeted by a charming and spacious landing, characterised by its quirky split levels and a window that overlooks the dining room below, while doors lead off into the four bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a generous size and has natural light streaming in through three windows. Through a curved doorway lies a large en suite bathroom, complete with a sizable walk-in shower, two sinks, and WC, all with electric underfloor heating, whilst bespoke fitted wardrobes enhance the functionality of this space. Bedroom four also boasts its own lovely en suite, while bedrooms two and three are both spacious in size and feature fitted wardrobes, as well as original fireplaces, adding character and charm. The family bathroom is expansive and home to a four-piece suite, including a roll top bath and walk-in shower cubicle, plus WC and washbasin, all enjoying the luxury of electric underfloor heating. If that’s not enough space, this house also boasts a basement, offering a blank canvas to be transformed into whatever may suit your needs, whether it be a wine cellar or additional storage area.

 Outside, the driveway offers ample off-road parking for numerous cars, complete with a convenient EV charging point. Spanning roughly 0.7 acres, the gardens are predominantly lawned, the front garden being bordered by mature shrubs, trees, and flowers, enclosed by a charming wall, adding to the property's kerb appeal. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed, this garden is a haven for enjoying summer evenings in comfort and style, with a large patio area at the rear, and another seating area to the left surrounding a fabulous fire pit, ensuring that you can enjoy the sun at any time of the day. The triple garage located to the right of the property offers abundant space for housing cars, storage needs, and even includes a workshop area at the back for added convenience, plus a really useful WC. The property itself also benefits from solar panels which adorn the roof, contributing to energy efficiency and sustainability.
