About
Tucked away in an enviably secluded position, Westfield Lodge offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully arranged country residence in one of the area’s most desirable and private settings.
Nestled within the rolling countryside on the borders of Brookmans Park and Essendon, this exclusive address is highly sought after, with very few homes becoming available in recent years.
The property extends to approximately 2,801 sq ft of internal accommodation (excluding the cottage, garage, and outbuilding), combining generous living spaces with a versatile layout ideal for both family life and entertaining.
The ground floor is thoughtfully designed around a central reception hall, leading to a series of elegant and well-proportioned rooms.
A spacious dual-aspect living room and a large formal dining room provide excellent entertaining space, while the impressive reception room offers a further area for relaxation or hosting guests.
The kitchen is well-appointed and complemented by a utility room, pantry, and cloakroom, ensuring practicality alongside style.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite benefits from a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, creating a private retreat.
Three further bedrooms are generously sized and served by additional bath and shower facilities, making the home perfectly suited to family living.
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a detached cottage, ideal for guests, extended family, or staff accommodation.
This charming space features its own living/dining room, kitchen, and shower room, offering complete independence.
Further enhancing the appeal is a substantial garage and a versatile outbuilding incorporating two stable-style rooms, which could be adapted for a variety of uses such as a home office, studio, or leisure facility.
Westfield Lodge is surrounded by its tranquil countryside setting, providing privacy and a sense of escape, while still being conveniently positioned for access to nearby villages, amenities, and transport links.
This is a truly rare offering-combining space, flexibility, and an exceptional location-perfect for those seeking a refined country lifestyle within easy reach of London.
