About
Character, charm and an abundance of individuality come together beautifully in this delightful semi-detached house, set in a popular part of Westdene.
From the moment you arrive, it is clear this is a property with a story to tell.
The attractive mock-Tudor exterior immediately catches the eye, while stepping through the front door reveals a home filled with warmth, rustic charm and wonderful period character.
The entrance hallway sets the tone perfectly, featuring a beautiful sweeping staircase with original-style panelling, creating an impressive welcome and giving the home a wonderfully dusky, atmospheric feel.
To the right is the lounge and this is undoubtedly a room to fall in love with. A feature fireplace takes centre stage, with a fully working fire and recently swept chimney adding to the cosy feel.
The room also features charming porthole windows, complete with their original stainless-steel detailing, adding another wonderful touch of character.
French doors lead directly onto the patio, where a little bistro-style seating creates the perfect spot for morning coffee or, perhaps even better, a glass of wine while watching the sunset.
The hallway also provides access to a generously sized downstairs cloakroom, while to the opposite side of the property is the impressive dual-aspect kitchen/diner.
This is a fantastic sociable space, with plenty of room for both cooking and dining and another door providing direct access to the garden.
Upstairs, there are well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in wardrobe space.
The principal bedroom is particularly special, enjoying a dual aspect with beautiful views across the garden and far-reaching views beyond, it almost feels as though you are waking up in your very own treehouse.
Completing the first floor is the family bathroom. And then there is the garden.... Quite simply, it is a showstopper.
Exceptionally generous in size, the garden has been lovingly created with mature borders, established planting and several usable levels, offering something different around every corner.
It is a wonderful space for entertaining, relaxing, gardening or simply enjoying a little peace and quiet.
The garden draws you naturally down through the different areas, eventually reaching a picturesque tree with another seating area beneath it - the perfect hidden-away spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
There is also a useful greenhouse and shed. Adding yet another layer of versatility is the completely detached garage, positioned to the side of the house.
This provides excellent storage and could potentially offer scope to create a separate workspace, home office, studio or business-use space, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
This is not simply a house that ticks boxes. It is a home that has atmosphere, personality and an incredible amount of charm.
