A rare opportunity to own a major wing of a fine Grade II listed property, full of character, with garaging and a private garden, set in beautiful gated grounds in a semi-rural position.
Situated at the end of a private, tree-lined driveway within the prestigious Stonelands Estate, West Manor is a remarkable wing of a Grade II listed country house, offering a rare blend of period elegance without compromise on practical modern comforts. Originally built as a medieval Hall House, the estate evolved over centuries, with West Manor added in 1905 as a grand sandstone extension.
Set behind gates within beautifully maintained communal grounds, West Manor offers approximately 5,531 sq ft of spacious yet comfortable accommodation and enjoys its own private gardens, with terraces to the east and west to catch the sun, and a double garage, making it a standout property which is well suited for families requiring room to grow, overseas buyers looking for a lock up and leave, or city dwellers seeking a luxurious weekend retreat or a permanent move within reach of the capital.
The house offers dedicated entertaining, work and play areas. The grand ballroom is ideal for entertaining yet also well-suited to day-to-day life, cleverly zoned to create distinct dining, sitting and morning rooms, and featuring a Japanese oak sprung floor, oak panelling and a huge statement fireplace set with a wood burning stove. There is a home office for two, and on the first floor, a snooker/games/reception room.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a great space for day to day living and has a superb outlook over the front terrace and the rolling communal grounds. It is fitted with granite worktops and a large island, with a good range of cream painted wall hung and under counter units; there is a range cooker with bottled gas hob, space for a dishwasher and fridge/freeze, and plenty of space for a farmhouse-style table and dresser; a useful utility room provides a laundry. The house doesn't lack for storage with plenty of cupboard space and a cellar.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has westerly views over the grounds, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom with a hydrotherapy bath and separate shower cubicle. The guest bedroom has an en suite bathroom, and adjoins the games room which has potential to create a third bedroom on this floor, with a separate family shower room. Tucked away on the second floor are three further bedrooms and a bathroom, offering a high degree of privacy, creating an ideal suite of rooms for a nanny or teenagers. Bedroom four has a large walk-in wardrobe offering potential to create a further en suite, subject to consents.
West Manor has its own private drive, offering convenient parking outside the front door, and has a double garage en bloc, a short distance from the house. Its private section of plot extends to about a third of an acre in all. There are stone flagged terraces to the front and rear of the house, ideal for morning coffee or sunset dinners. West Manor's section of lawn stretches gently up behind the house and opens to shared grounds.
