Westdown House is a beautifully presented modern country house commanding far reaching countryside views. The accommodation flows well over three floors including five reception rooms and six bedroom suites, all enjoying a fine aspect across its own land and countryside beyond. Built in 2000, the property sits centrally within the plot and has lovely features including sash windows, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a York stone terrace that surrounds the house.

Ground Floor

To the front of the house are two formal reception rooms, divided by solid timber double doors that can be opened to provide a substantial entertaining space. The kitchen has a central island, electric Aga and dining area with two sets of French windows opening onto the terrace. This leads to the family room that was added in 2007.

First & Second Floors

There are four bedroom suites with fitted wardrobes on the first floor including the principal bedroom suite that opens onto a terrace. There are two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor.

Outside is an independently accessed cellar, that has a spiral staircase that descends to a wine store.

Gardens & Grounds

Westdown House is approached through electric gates over a Beech tree lined private driveway. The formal gardens surround the house and are mainly laid to lawn with a number of specimen trees and shrubs. There are two ponds that are fed by a pumped stream which links the two features. Steps from the garden lead up towards the woodland to a viewing gallery, which enjoys panoramic and far reaching views. The gardens attract a variety of wildlife including red kites, pheasants, foxes and deer.

Outdoor Amenities

The old tennis court is now laid to grass and has previously had planning permission approved for a 30m x 12m outdoor swimming pool. Below the house and approached over the main drive is a substantial brick and flint former stable block converted into a versatile space including a gym/studio, kitchen, shower room, sauna, games room and integral double garage. There is also a large agricultural barn with three electric roller shutter doors.

Equestrian Facilities

The yard was built in 2009 and provides excellent and well-maintained equestrian facilities. Fitted out by Scotts of Thrapston, there are six stables with haybars and automatic water drinkers. Additional facilities include a feed room, hay store, rug room, tack room, and a kitchenette with W/C. The outdoor arena extends to 24m x 60m and is by Aztec Arenas. Above the stables is a self-contained groom’s flat including a sitting room, kitchen, dining area, bedroom and bathroom.

Land & Access

To the east of the house the land is divided into post and railed grazing paddocks, all with water connected. Below the house is another field with direct access onto The Ridgeway. There is also direct access to Bledlow Great Wood as well as Chinnor Hill Nature Reserve, offering a network of bridlepaths and footpaths.
