Description
It is not often that houses come onto the market in Westmill, and we are delighted to offer this substantial detached family house that is being sold for the first time in over twenty years. Covey is nicely tucked away just off the centre of the village and provides flexible and generous sized accommodation that has been well looked after and improved by the present owners. As soon as one steps into the house it feels special. The high ceilings and large windows allow light to fill the rooms and at the rear the views over the garden and the paddocks behind are delightful.
For those seeking space, this is for you. The house lends itself to family living and may also appeal to those that may wish to have self contained living accommodation in addition to the main house. The four bedrooms are all doubles and two benefit from having en suite shower rooms. The study/ fifth bedroom is perfect for those who work from home and the loft space is particularly large with space on the landing to put a staircase up if one decided to convert it.
Step inside
Stepping into the reception porch, one's eye is drawn to the view through the hallway and the living room and on down the garden to the paddocks. The porch is a really good size with space for coats and to kick your boots off before moving on into the large hallway. The hallway is open plan to the living room and it works really well. Polished woodblock flooring runs through the hall and living room with full width patio doors opening out onto the garden. There is a wood burning stove fitted into a red brick chimney breast, a lovely focal point to the room.
Steps from the hallway lead up to another level off which is a cloakroom, a shower room and the good size dining room that also has patio doors opening onto the garden. At the other end of the house is an inner hallway with stairs to first floor and a useful cupboard beneath. At the front of the house is a cosy sitting room with wood burner and door into the Kitchen/breakfast room. A good size and well fitted kitchen/ breakfast room large enough for family and friends to enjoy. A stable door opens to the rear onto the garden.
Upstairs there is a large spacious landing with a study area. The main bedroom benefits from a large walk in wardrobe and an en suite shower room together with fine views to the rear. The guest bedroom also enjoys fine views and is another good size double room with en suite. There are two further good size bedrooms. The fifth bedroom/study is ideal for those who work from home. There is also an attractive family bathroom.
Step outside
The position and gardens are a joy. The driveway leads to the large double garage. The house is set back from the lane behind a good size front garden that is laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, shrubs and hedging.
The south facing rear garden is also a very good size and mainly laid to lawn with well stocked flower beds, trees and shrubs. A patio stretches across the back of the house, perfect for entertaining. At the foot of the garden are paddocks, a beautiful back drop.
Garage and Outbuildings: There is a large double garage at the front with electric up and over door, light and power. An inner door opens into a large useful workshop area where the oil-fired boiler is found. To one side of the house, adjoining this workshop, is a covered sideway that is so useful for storing logs and garden equipment. In the rear garden is a further brick-built tool shed and another workshop/potting shed that has a greenhouse adjoining it. The garage and workshops could easily be converted to form additional accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.
Location
Westmill is one of the area's premier villages with the community being centred around the village church, tea room and the Sword in Hand pub/restaurant. The bustling market town of Buntingford is just three miles away and offers more extensive amenities and the larger towns of Ware (11 miles) and Stevenage (12 miles) offer the nearest rail connections into London.
Throughout the area there are many lovely footpaths and bridleways which run for miles without being near a road. For the keen golfer East Herts Golf Club is also close by.
Education, both private and state is well served in the area with a wide and varied choice of highly regarded schools.
