The property offers exceptional versatility with four well-proportioned reception rooms / areas, four double bedrooms including two en-suites, and a detached two-storey one-bedroom annexe. Positioned behind electric gates and set within generous gardens, the home has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise natural light, the stunning views on offer and a seamless connection to the outdoors. Westering delivers spacious, contemporary accommodation ideally suited to modern family life, set within a private and highly desirable location.

Ground Floor
The front entrance opens into a statement reception hall extending the full depth of the property. Bathed in natural light from its dual aspect and centred around a log burner, this luxurious space sets an immediate sense of quality and elegance for the accommodation to follow.
To the left of the reception hall is a versatile triple-aspect room, currently used as a home office, though equally well suited as a snug or playroom. Also on the left-hand side is the principal sitting room, an impressive space arranged into two distinct zones. The main sitting area benefits from a bay window to the side aspect, a central fireplace with inset log burner and a stone surround and mantel, flanked by alcove display shelving. This room flows seamlessly into the orangery, a beautiful, fully glazed reception room with roof lantern and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, offering wonderful views out and an abundance of natural light.
To the right of the reception hall is the true heart of the home and a real family / entertaining area; the expansive, open plan kitchen, lounge dining space. The generous kitchen is fitted with a collection of high-gloss base and wall units, complemented by a central island with breakfast bar seating and a comprehensive suite of integrated appliances including two electric ovens, an electric grill, a dishwasher, five-burner gas hob and extractor above. Bi-fold doors open from the kitchen directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The dining area links effortlessly with the kitchen and the adjoining lounge space, which provides a relaxed seating area enjoying fantastic, far reaching countryside views and further bi-fold doors opening to an additional patio area. A utility room sits off the dining area, while a ground floor WC is accessed from the reception hall, completing the ground floor accommodation.

First Floor
Stairs ascend from the reception hall, to a bright, spacious landing and onto the extent of the accommodation at first floor level. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive suite, spanning the full depth of the property and enjoying superb far-reaching countryside views, particularly towards the north-east. The principal bedroom incorporates a walk-through dressing area, a generous bedroom with two banks of fitted wardrobes, and a large en-suite bathroom. The modern, fully tiled en-suite is fitted with a dual vanity wash basin with backlit LED mirrors, low-level WC, fitted bath with shower attachment, and a sauna.
There are three further generous double bedrooms at first floor level. One is positioned to the rear, one to the front, and one to the side elevation, the latter enjoying a bay window to the side elevation and its own en-suite shower and separate WC.
A contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and is fully tiled, featuring a freestanding bath, a large dual sided shower enclosure, wall-mounted WC and vanity wash basin. A separate WC sits adjacent to the family bathroom.

Annex
What was formerly a detached double garage has been cleverly converted to provide high-quality ancillary accommodation. The ground floor comprises an open-plan lounge and dining space, adjoining a contemporary, fully fitted kitchen with breakfast bar seating. The first floor hosts a double bedroom with an adjacent three piece en-suite shower room. The annexe is ideal for guests, extended family, home working or potential income, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside
The property is accessed via electric double gates off Etching Hill Road, leading onto a substantial gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking, in addition to the two bay, oak framed car port. The front boundary is attractively tree-lined, offering excellent privacy from the road, while the front of the property is appealingly framed by areas of lawn and established planting including hydrangeas and box hedging.
The rear garden is private and predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with several patio seating areas. Two of the patios are positioned directly off the kitchen/diner, another is accessed from the orangery, and a further feature patio sits centrally within the garden, providing an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. The boundaries are well established, with a combination of mature trees, shrubs and evergreens creating a secluded and peaceful setting.
