4 Bedroom Detached House

Property Insight:

Set in the beautiful village of Weston and dating back to 1927, this is a truly unique family home.  The stunning period property stands on a generous plot and offers spacious and luxurious family living in beautiful surroundings.  Upon approaching the house, the first thing that strikes you is its wonderful setting – with open countryside to the rear and beautiful views over green fields.  Pulling into the spacious driveway, the property creates an excellent first impression with its double-fronted exterior. 

Upon entering the property, the first thing that strikes you is its beautiful interior but also the calm and welcoming ambience.  The entrance hall has an appealing country charm with its cornflower blue walls and warm wooden flooring.  Either side of the entrance hall are two reception rooms – both well-presented with classic styling.  The sitting room to the left enjoys a double aspect, making it a lovely bright room, and is decorated in a warm, neutral colour palette with practical wooden flooring.  There is plenty of space to add comfy sofas, and a fireplace with a log burner provides a lovely focal point, as well as the perfect setting for cosy winter evenings in front of the fire.  It’s the perfect setting for spending time with friends and family.

The second reception room is another well-proportioned and comfortable room.  Again, decorated in warm neutrals, it benefits from an oat-coloured carpet and a large window which introduces plenty of natural light.  A cast iron log burner set within a simple surround creates an elegant feature and the promise of cosy evenings in.  As a second sitting room, this versatile room could easily be repurposed as a snug or even a playroom.  Or, given the layout and fact that there is an adjacent shower room and office - which could also be used as a bedroom - the space could also lend itself well to being a separate living and sleeping area, offering semi-independent quarters within the property.

The downstairs shower room features a brown and white colour scheme with a modern suite including a shower cubicle and white sanitaryware.  The spacious dual-aspect office is the perfect spot for working from home and enjoys views to the front and back of the property. 

The bespoke kitchen is the real heart of the home and has a lovely, modern country-kitchen feel.  Over 23’ in length, it feels extremely spacious and features cream, shaker-style cabinetry with contrasting black work surfaces and neutral floor tiles.  There is plenty of storage space and the skylights and multiple windows help make it a light room.  Integrated appliances include an impressive stainless steel electric oven with gas hob, a dishwasher and fridge-freezer. 

A lobby leads through to a generous and elegant dining room, which can also be accessed via the entrance hall.  The dining room is a tasteful setting for both relaxed family meals and entertaining friends.  A beautifully bright room thanks to its two sets of French doors, it has plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs alongside other furniture, and benefits from a soft neutral colour palette and warm oak flooring.  With French doors leading out to the patio, it also provides the perfect set up for alfresco entertaining and indoor-outdoor living during the summer months.  A second set of French doors maximises the natural light and leads through to a large conservatory.  Currently set up as an entertaining area - with sofas and a dining table and chairs – this is a versatile space with practical sun blinds and beautiful garden views, which comes into its own during the summer. 

To the rear of the property is a sizeable utility with access to both the garden and garage.  Designed in a country style and featuring a range of white cabinetry with a traditional butlers sink, it has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and is an indispensable addition for any busy household (particularly if you are returning home with muddy dogs and/or children!)  Adjacent to the utility is a modern shower room.  Another practical addition, it features a modern white suite with a large shower, soft green walls and coordinating mosaic tilework.  A traditional radiator provides a stylish juxtaposition and nod to the property’s history.

On the first floor are four spacious double bedrooms – all of similar, generous proportions (so no disagreements over who gets which room!)  Each bedroom is decorated in a relaxing colour palette and three of the rooms are double-aspect, making them feel wonderfully light and airy.  One of the bedrooms has an attractive feature wall with dove-grey wall-panelling behind the bed.

The large family bathroom is contemporary in style and features modern vanity units - which offer plenty of storage – and a modern white bathroom suite, including a bidet and full-size bath with shower over.  The coordinating floor and wall tiles help create a stylish and modern feel.

Above the garage is a fully converted loft space with heating and laminate flooring.  Measuring an impressive 23’ by 17’1”, this versatile room could be put to many uses – including an additional bedroom, games room, gym or studio space. 

Outside, the property enjoys an expansive garden which is mainly lawned and features mature trees and borders.  It’s the perfect setting for relaxing in the sunshine or playing outside (especially if you enjoy a game of football).  The large patio area is superb for holding barbecues and summer entertaining.  To the front of the property is a vast, gated driveway with space for numerous vehicles, plus a double garage.

With its beautifully finished, spacious interior and extensive grounds, this is a truly stunning property which will make a wonderful family home and is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
