A fine and beautifully presented Grade II listed
country home with excellent recreational facilities and
outstanding panoramic views
Description
A fine Grade II Listed former farmhouse, this exceptional home occupies an elevated position with superb far reaching panoramic views over the Weald of Kent. Believed to date from the 15th or early 16th century with a later 18th century façade, this delightful oak framed family home with elevations enhanced by mature wisteria and rambling roses, has been sympathetically remodelled and refurbished by the current owners, who have retained many of the charming period features, whilst incorporating modern day comforts, resulting in beautifully presented family accommodation of over 5,700 sq ft. Points of note include:
Sash windows, some with working shutters, high ceilings to majority of rooms, dentil cornice work, exposed beams, exposed wood flooring, lovely period fireplaces, two with wood burning stoves.
Wiring is in place for surround sound to a number of rooms and under floor heating features within the kitchen, breakfast room, utility room, principal bathroom suite and family bathroom.
Well proportioned southerly facing reception rooms comprise a delightful dual aspect drawing room and a stylishly decorated dining room, ideal for entertaining, both rooms enjoy the lovely far reaching vistas over the gardens and Kentish landscape beyond. Further reception rooms include a sitting room and a study with pretty period fireplace and Delft tiled slips.
The kitchen/breakfast/family room is arranged over two levels, there is a range of handcrafted cupboards and central island with granite work surfaces. Appliances include a four oven gas fired Aga with two oven electric module, an electric combi oven, integral dishwasher and freestanding American style fridge/freezer. A walk-in larder offers a further range of storage.
A trap door is cleverly incorporated within the wood flooring and leads via steps to an excellent wine cellar.
A turned staircase leads from the central hall to the first floor where there are five bedrooms which are served by four bath/shower rooms (two being en suite).
The master bedroom enjoys wonderful views and benefits from a dressing room and a luxuriously appointed bathroom with Catchpole and Rye sanitary ware and fittings.
A further bedroom, with access to generous loft areas and a separate WC are situated on the second floor.
Westerhill is approached via electric double gates which open to a gravel driveway. A gently sloping lawn with specimen trees and pond with water feature lies to one side and ‘progression lighting’ continues around the drive, coach house and former stables to the open bay garaging. There are two further vehicular accesses via double wooden gates.
A gate leads through an archway to a pretty, secluded walled garden, well protected by evergreen hedging to the eastern boundary.
The gardens continue to the south, from where panoramic views can be enjoyed. Arranged over three levels, the upper level features an expanse of lawn with an array of trees including a copper beech and an ancient yew tree. On the next level, partially screened by beech hedging is the excellent pool house with under floor heating, heated outdoor swimming pool with electric cover and limestone surround, screened to two sides by beech hedging. On the lower level lies the tennis court and a wooded area.
Attractive outbuildings arranged around the drive to the north of the house include a former coach house with store rooms and workshop on the ground floor and music room/studio with sound insulation and security system. There is a former stable block which is currently used for storage purposes.
