Description Westwood Farmhouse was originally renovated by an artist of international repute and has been further improved by the current architect owners over the last 25 years, to create a lovely family home with spacious and well connected living areas that are ideal for both informal and formal entertaining. The property is reached by a short private gravelled lane that leads into the original farmyard, enclosed by ranges of traditional stone outbuildings which provides generous off-road parking and access to a double garage. The front door leads from a traditional cottage garden into a brick paved entrance hall. To one side, past a cloakroom, there is a reception/dining hall overlooking the garden, which has solid oak flooring, beamed ceiling and an impressive stone fireplace and hearth with wood burning stove. Doors open out from the reception/dining hall through a stone porch into the garden. Folding doors into a formal sitting room beyond the reception/dining hall open to join the two rooms for entertaining. The sitting room is a well proportioned room that faces west across the garden, with concealed downlighting and a feature sandstone fireplace with wood burning stove. At the end of the entrance hall there is a good boot room with sink, fitted storage, and a WC/shower room, and a back door into the enclosed rear garden. On the other side of the entrance hall there is a lovely family room with beamed ceiling, wood burning stove and French windows, looking out towards Roseberry Topping, open into the rear garden. Together with the kitchen/dining room beyond, this is the real hub of the house. The kitchen, made by Design in Wood of Thirsk, has granite work surfaces, Aga, extractor hood, integrated appliances and a central island unit with storage. The room has a stone flagged floor and exposed stone walls, accommodates a dining table seating 10 /12 people in front of two pairs of French windows that open onto a south facing terrace. At one end a door leads into the larder and utility and one at the other end leads on to a useful study and a games room. The stairs to the first floor lead out of the reception/dining hall, giving access to the four good double bedrooms all with fitted storage. There is a family bathroom and a separate shower room which can be suited with one of the bedrooms, with potential to reconfigure the layout to create two en-suites. The former farmyard is enclosed by traditional outbuildings and provides generous off-road parking and access to a double garage. Three stables which currently accommodate a workshop, potting shed could revert to their original use or be further developed (subject to the necessary consents). These have previously had Planning & Listed Building Consent both for conversion to holiday cottages and to an annexe to the main house, giving potential for a ‘Granny Flat’. A substantial barn is perfectly suited to equestrian use. Half the building is fully enclosed and half open sided, and the present owners have used it to accommodate a field shelter, loose boxes and storage for hay and straw. The paddock land extends to around 10 acres and each field has a water trough. The formal gardens have been beautifully landscaped and are predominately laid to lawn with well stocked established flower beds, borders, mature trees and hedging, and enjoy stunning, uninterrupted views in all directions. Oil central heating, private drainage and water supply. Mains electricity.
