House For Sale £3,500,000
Westlington House is a superb family house, dating from the 17th century, which has been very well maintained and partly refurbished, by the current owners in the last few years. Set at the end of a beautiful tree lined driveway, the house enjoys wonderful views over its own grounds and surrounding countryside, as well as the Chiltern Hills.
The house is entered through a lobby into the reception hall, with stone flagged flooring, attractive corniced ceilings and a sweeping staircase to the first-floor galleried landing. To the left of the hall, is the drawing room, with its large open fireplace and door through to the conservatory. The large dining room is on the opposite side of the hall, with doors leading to the sitting room and the garden room, which is in the heart of the house. Double doors lead to the terrace and walled garden.
The large and impressive family room, with its high ceiling, is to the end of the house, along with the study and access to a small courtyard. The kitchen, which was re-fitted around 3 years ago has an aga and plenty of wall and floor storage, along with a large central island. The breakfast room, adjacent to the kitchen, which was similarly refurbished, is ideal for family breakfasts and evening dining. The ground floor also has a large utility and boot room as well as 3 WCs.
On the first and second floors there are currently 6 bedrooms and a study/bedroom. The principal bedroom is double aspect, enjoying views over the gardens and fields. It has a large dressing room and bathroom as well as a walk-in wardrobe. There is a guest bedroom with en suite shower room, then three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC. The sixth bedroom, on the 2nd floor, has an en suite plus shower and a large storage room. Part way up the staircase is a large well-lit study, complete with two fitted maple desks and built in ceiling speakers, which could be turned into a further bedroom. All of the accommodation can be seen on the enclosed floorplans.
The gardens have been beautifully maintained and offer a mixture of mature and partially irrigated flower beds, stunning specimen trees including walnut and cedar, as well as manicured lawns. There is a charming orchard with pear, apple and plum trees. The garden has an outdoor heated swimming pool and mosaic tiled hot tub, set in a paved terrace to the end of the walled garden, which also has espaliered fruit trees on the walls. There are box hedged pathways around the gardens and of particular note are the traditional Wychert walls which can only be found in the Vale of Aylsebury. The land at Westlington House includes three large fields, with one bordering the drive and two to the rear.
