The Property
Westlands Farm is a fine Grade II listed house that has been in the same family for 43 years. The property is believed to date back from the turn of the 16th Century and boasts many period features including exposed timbers and stone and brickwork fireplaces. Westlands Farm is nestled down a private road and is approached through electric gates down a gravelled driveway with ample parking.

The property benefits from a beautiful farmhouse kitchen with a range of base and wall units and a 4 oven Aga. The kitchen leads to the double-aspect dining room with a wood-burning stove and links with the drawing room. The more formal double-aspect drawing room with an open fireplace is to the southwest of the house and has lovely views over the garden. This also leads into a large sitting room with a woodburning stove. A walk-in larder, and a utility/ cloakroom complete the ground floor of the house.

On the first floor, there is a wonderful main bedroom with a large dressing room and en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms with in-built wardrobes and a family bathroom.

Complimentary to the farmhouse is a very useful study/utility, boiler room and stores.

There is a separate one bedroom annexe located adjacent to the house. The annexe has a kitchen, a large sitting room with a wood-burning stove as well as a shower room on the ground floor. The first floor consists of a double bedroom and bathroom. To the rear of the annexe is its own garden and shed.

Gardens and Grounds
Westlands Farm is approached via a gated driveway also leading to the annexe and triple garage. The driveway has ample parking for several cars including an electric charging point. There is a stable block with six stables currently used for storage and further tool stores.

The property also benefits from having four barns that have been let individually for storage with separate access from the house which could be further improved and developed subject to the usual consents (STPP).

The gardens and grounds are mainly laid to lawn with established shrub borders, a kitchen garden, pasture, ponds, and a fenced chicken pen. Mature trees and hedging surround the property offering privacy and beautiful rural views towards the Toat Monument.
