A Warm Welcome

Filled with natural light, the entrance sets the tone for the rest of the home, where classic finishes and thoughtful presentation combine to create interiors that feel both timeless and welcoming.

An Exceptional Space for Living

One of Westgate's most impressive features is its beautifully appointed kitchen, thoughtfully designed to combine elegance with effortless practicality. Impeccably fitted with an extensive range of bespoke-style cabinetry, contrasting high-gloss units and generous work surfaces, this space offers exceptional storage and quality integrated appliances.

Flowing seamlessly into the dining and seating area, it provides a sophisticated setting for everyday living and memorable occasions alike. Large windows and doors flood the room with natural light while opening directly onto the gardens and terrace, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape.

Beyond, the principal reception room offers a refined yet welcoming retreat. Centred around a contemporary wood-burning stove, this space is enhanced by expansive picture windows that frame breathtaking panoramic views. Soft, neutral interiors and beautifully proportioned living spaces create a peaceful atmosphere.

Tranquil Spaces to Unwind

A striking split staircase rises from the entrance hall, gracefully dividing the first floor into two distinct wings. To the left, the master bedroom enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy, while the right wing accommodates the remaining bedrooms and family bathroom, creating a thoughtful layout that perfectly balances seclusion with everyday practicality.

The master bedroom is a private retreat, generous in both scale and elegance. With ample space for additional furnishings and a dedicated seating area, it is a room designed for quiet moments as much as restful nights. Expansive picture windows perfectly frame the panoramic views, creating a peaceful backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons.

Complementing the bedroom is a stylish en-suite, beautifully finished with sleek porcelain tiling, contemporary sanitaryware and a separate walk-in shower and bath, creating the perfect space to relax and unwind.

Occupying the opposite wing, the remaining three bedrooms are all beautifully proportioned, each enjoying a peaceful outlook.
Bedroom Two is particularly impressive, featuring an extensive range of bespoke fitted wardrobes and matching drawer units, creating an elegant guest suite or spacious double bedroom.

Bedroom Three continues the generous accommodation, while Bedroom Four is currently arranged as a dedicated home office, offering the flexibility to adapt as a nursery, dressing room, hobby room or additional bedroom to suit individual requirements.

Completing this wing is a beautifully presented family bathroom, thoughtfully designed with a full-sized bath, stylish vanity storage and elegant full-height tiling, offering the perfect balance of practicality and refined elegance.

Gardens & Grounds

The gardens are among Westgate's defining features. Beautifully landscaped and exceptionally well established, they unfold across a series of terraces, sweeping lawns and colourful borders that provide interest throughout the seasons.

Stone steps weave through mature planting, lavender and ornamental shrubs to create a variety of secluded seating areas, while a greenhouse and garden store offer excellent practicality for keen gardeners. Mature trees provide privacy and an attractive backdrop throughout the grounds.

Whether enjoying morning coffee on the patio, entertaining friends on warm summer evenings or simply taking in the surrounding scenery, the gardens offer a wonderful extension of the living space.
