Westwood, Ashby Road, Kegworth

General Description

Smiths Property Experts are privileged to be instructed to market this beautiful Edwardian property set within private, gated grounds extending to approximately one-third of an acre.

Westwood is a fabulous and rarely available period home dating back to circa 1911, full of original splendour and period elegance. The property has been remodelled and sympathetically extended to provide contemporary living space finished to an exacting specification and complete with an exceptional garage/workshop.

Situated in a mature residential location on the edge of the fully serviced village of Kegworth, on the Leicestershire border. The property benefits from excellent road and rail links to local cities, London, and both East Midlands and Birmingham airports.

The Main House

The main house has an elegant, uplifted bay-fronted facade, with an attractive porch and recently replaced flush casement double glazing.

With full mains services, this spacious family home offers an impressive net floor area of approximately 3,893 square feet (including garaging). The accommodation spans three floors, with generous, well-designed living spaces providing excellent ceiling heights. Much of the original character features remain, including beautiful fireplaces, a stunning hardwood staircase, and a refurbished stained-glass landing window.

In brief, expect to find accommodation comprising an impressive reception hall, a bay-fronted drawing room, a snug, a music room, and a beautiful family kitchen, fitted by the locally revered ‘Dale Penney’, with French doors leading to the rear garden. Accessed via the kitchen is a useful utility room leading to a home gym with a vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace, and a first-class newly constructed garage/workshop. The garage also has a vaulted ceiling, ceramic-tiled flooring, an electric roller door to the front, air conditioning, and bi-fold doors to the rear. A sauna and a modern ‘roll cab’ style tool station are also available by separate negotiation.

Upstairs, a large central landing leads to four double bedrooms and a beautiful five-piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite has a separate en-suite shower room and air conditioning installed. On the second floor are two further double bedrooms. A substantial loft space is conveniently accessible.

In our opinion, there is also excellent potential to create self-contained annexe accommodation by conversion of the garaging.

The Outside

The property sits on grounds extending to approximately one-third of an acre, behind electrically operable secure gates. A generous sweeping gravel-laid driveway wraps around to the right-hand side of the main house, leading to an exceptional newly constructed garage.

To the rear are mature lawned gardens with a private aspect. A beautifully landscaped large terrace is to the rear of the main house with a sunken barbecue or ‘fire pit’ area. The house is externally lit and looks superb in the evening. There is a useful outdoor shower, and a further terrace behind the garage. A gravel path leads down the garden to a generous play area. There are two substantial timber stores. There is also a hot tub, a swim spa, and a children’s play frame potentially available by further negotiation.
