Guildford Road, Westcott

A distinguished, Grade II Listed four-bedroom Georgian residence showcasing a wealth of authentic period details, enhanced by captivating Ranmore views and located in the pretty conservation area of the sought-after village of Westcott, just a short stroll from local amenities and the village school.

Skeynes House is a charming, semi-detached Georgian home recognised as a Building of Historic Interest and brimming with character and heritage appeal. Steps rise to a sheltered front porch, leading into a generous entrance hall. The elegant drawing room enjoys a dual aspect with broad sash windows, complete with their original sliding shutters. Additional highlights include an open fireplace and elevated vistas across Ranmore. The fourth bedroom which is currently used as a reception room, boasts lovely views over Ranmore and offers ample space for a double bed, with fitted storage already in place. This room also contains a dumb waiter, a nostalgic reminder of the property's early 19th-century origins. A newly updated shower room with underfloor heating and W/C is accessed from the main hall, completing the ground-floor layout. Stairs descend to the lower ground floor, where several versatile rooms unfold. Once the servants' kitchens and living quarters, this level has been opened up to form a sizeable snug with new log burning stove, while the expansive dining room provides an inviting setting for gatherings. The kitchen features custom grey cabinetry at both floor and ceiling level, paired with generous quartz worktops, an electric oven & hob, dishwasher and space for further integrated appliances. A rear door offers direct access to the garden. A substantial utility room provides plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, along with additional storage. A striking staircase with gently curving walls rises to the first floor, connecting all bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a bright and airy 14'1" x 13'4" double, thanks to two sizeable front-facing sash windows, and includes built-in wardrobes flanking an original fireplace. Bedrooms two and three are also spacious doubles, one with potential for fitted wardrobes and the other already benefiting from built-in storage. Both rear-aspect rooms enjoy remarkable views over Ranmore. The family bathroom is fitted with a tasteful three-piece suite, including dual sinks and a shower above the bath.

PLEASE NOTE: Planning has been granted for a single storey side extension (PLANNING APPLICATION MO/2025/0985) to create a large kitchen/diner with the existing outside W/C converted into a new basement cloakroom.
