A Rare Country Estate Designed Around Lifestyle, Family and Opportunity

Hidden behind its charming façade, West View Estate unfolds into something truly extraordinary.

More than simply a home, this remarkable collection of buildings offers an enviable way of life - where generations can live independently yet remain connected, where guests are welcomed in style, and where future owners can embrace the flexibility to create an income stream, pursue a business venture or simply enjoy the luxury of space.

At its heart lie two distinctive period residences, each brimming with warmth and authenticity. Original beams, character fireplaces and beautifully proportioned rooms celebrate the property's heritage, while thoughtful enhancements ensure comfort for modern living.

The principal residence, West View, exudes the timeless appeal of a quintessential country cottage. Inviting reception spaces, a beautifully appointed kitchen and two generous bedrooms create an atmosphere that is both elegant and effortlessly welcoming.

Across the courtyard, West View Barn provides a second fully independent home of equal charm. Perfect for extended family, dependent relatives, older children seeking independence or long-term guests, it offers a rare level of versatility seldom found within a single ownership.

Complementing the period accommodation is a striking contemporary annexe, recently transformed to an exceptional standard. Featuring stylish open-plan living, a sleek kitchen, bi-fold doors opening onto the courtyard and a generous first-floor bedroom retreat, the annexe offers immediate potential as luxury guest accommodation or a supplementary income opportunity.

Uniting these buildings is a wonderfully private courtyard—an intimate outdoor setting that forms the social heart of the estate and creates a seamless transition between the various living spaces.

Beyond, the estate continues to surprise and delight.

A collection of highly adaptable outbuildings provides dedicated areas for fitness, hobbies, practical storage and creative pursuits, while the beautifully appointed garden room with its own shower facilities offers endless possibilities as a home office, guest suite, wellness space or boutique holiday retreat.

Winding pathways lead to the enchanting secret garden, a secluded sanctuary centred around a tranquil pond and perfectly suited to peaceful afternoons, evening entertaining or the addition of a private spa area. The grounds then open into expansive gardens bursting with seasonal colour, productive vegetable beds, established asparagus plots, mature fruit trees and flourishing soft fruit bushes—creating a lifestyle that embraces both relaxation and self-sufficiency.

Further enhancing its appeal, the property benefits from extensive off-road parking and the reassurance of a newly installed roof completed in 2025.

West View Estate presents an exceptionally rare proposition: a home capable of evolving with every stage of life. Whether seeking a private family compound, accommodation for multiple generations, an income-generating investment, a base for a home enterprise or simply a unique countryside retreat, this remarkable estate offers a lifestyle opportunity of the highest order.
