Description

Understood to date back to the 1860's, Westwood House is a fine example of a substantial detached period home occupying a prominent position on the Western slopes of the Malvern Hills with outstanding far reaching views across the Herefordshire countryside toward the Welsh Mountains. The property has been a much loved family home for many years and offers elegant accommodation with several noteworthy period features including large sash windows and corniced ceilings with intricate detailing to most of the principle rooms together with deep skirting boards and some original window shutters.

Westwood House offers a unique opportunity for a prospective purchaser to enhance the existing accommodation, enabling them to showcase a passion for creative design and interiors. The property is approached by a striking wrought iron veranda, which spans the length of the front façade wrapping around to the side and leading to a conservatory. There is an impressive climbing wisteria, which provides a beautiful burst if colour during the Spring.

The accommodation extends to approximately 5,642 sq ft and is arranged over three floors.

Sitting Room, Dining Room and Drawing Room
There are three principal reception rooms, all of which enjoy a fantastic south west facing aspect. All three rooms boast French doors opening onto the veranda, and enjoy a terrific outlook across the surrounding grounds and the Herefordshire countryside beyond. There are two striking fireplaces, both serving as central focal points with ornate wooden surrounds.

Breakfast Kitchen, Utility Room and Garden Potting Room
The breakfast kitchen is equipped with a range of fitted wall and floor mounted units with work surfaces over. There is a gas fired Rangemaster 110, which provides two ovens, a 4 ring hob and twin hot plates. There is space for additional appliances including a dishwasher and fridge. From the breakfast kitchen, there is access to a garden potting room (38'2" long), which is flooded with natural light and leads to outside. There is a useful utility room, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Bedrooms, Bathroom and Shower Room
The first floor is approached by two separate staircases. The first sweeping staircase leads to a spacious landing with feature sky light. From here doors lead to four double bedrooms, three of which include fitted wardrobes. All four bedrooms enjoy superb views towards the Malvern Hills and the breath taking Herefordshire valley below. There is access to a roof terrace, which acts as the perfect viewing platform. There is a family bathroom and a recently updated shower room. A second staircase leads to two further double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study.

The Butlers Flat
On the lower ground floor there is a self contained annexe, which is a fantastic asset as an additional source of income or for those requiring multigenerational living. The annexe can be accessed from both the main house and also externally through a separate entrance door. The annexe is well appointed and comprises a living room with bay window, double bedroom with an ornate fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and a large utility room. The utility room houses two out of the three boilers used to service the central heating system, with the third being located in an external store room.

Grounds
Westwood House enjoys beautifully landscaped grounds extending to approximately 0.7 ACRES. A sweeping driveway provides ample parking with turning area. The grounds have been designed to compliment the gradient of the hillside with large terraces bordered by established hedging and mature trees. There is a secluded formal lawn with a feature pond, which provides the perfect setting for gathering friends and family. Pathways crisscross throughout the grounds, leading to further hidden seating areas surrounded by an array of interesting plants and shrubs.

With so much to offer, an early internal inspection is highly recommended.
