The Appeal Of Our Home - The Owners Insight - I loved West View from the minute I stepped into it on that first day. It is a home of 2 houses!
West View is an interesting home because of its uniqueness; full of charm, character and originality.
The '2 houses' consist of the original farmhouse at the front of the property linked together with a barn at the rear. All beautifully restored to a high standard by the previous owner. There are many original features linking it to its past. The courtyard garden joins the front of the house with the rear and is a particular favourite feature of mine. It provides a secluded outside space for dining or just a unique feature to view the lovely green space from within the house. West View is a quirky and unusual property, which is something that has always appealed to me greatly.
The house is settled right in the heart Of Great Ouseburn. That is a great asset in itself as the village supports a wonderful community. The village shop offers a great range of locally produced items and has a great café and occasional restaurant at the rear. The village junior school is popular and well attended. The village hall is home to the Great Ouseburn cricket club; this is very well supported
and has excellent bar facilities during matches for non-cricketers. The hall itself offers regular events throughout the year, which keeps the spirit of community thriving in the village. The village recently acquired 'Townsend Field' in order to preserve a large open space for the whole village. This preserves a very valuable habitat and allows walks and observation of wild life just off the southern end of the village. The Norman church is found at the heart of the village. The local vineyard, which is located in Upper Dunsforth, offers excellent locally produced wine as well as an opportunity to assist with the harvesting of the grapes every year. A real community event. The thriving local gastro-pub, The Lime Tree, is only a 5-6 minute walk away from West
View.
