WESTGATE COURT Dating from the late 18th century, Westgate Court is a beautiful, stuccoed period family home offering nearly 6,000 sq ft of sympathetically updated accommodation arranged over four floors.

The accommodation flows from a formal reception hall with magnificent staircase and includes a drawing room with a fireplace, a sitting room with a contemporary wall-mounted inset fireplace, an office with bespoke shelving, and both dining and family rooms—the latter benefiting from an en suite shower room.

The spacious kitchen features a bay window, a range of wall and base units with complementary worktops, modern integrated appliances, and bespoke fitted seating with space for a good-sized table. A door leads from the kitchen to the side terrace.

Further accommodation includes a garden room with indoor barbecue and tiled flooring, an en suite cloakroom, a large sky lantern, French doors to the side terrace, and additional doors to the rear aspect and the integral double garage. The property also benefits from generous cellarage with bespoke wine storage, the whole suitable for a variety of uses.

The original sweeping staircase with sub-Adam detail rises from the reception hall to a generous first-floor landing, giving access to the principal bedroom, which enjoys a fitted dressing room and an en suite bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms (one of which also benefits from Jack and Jill access to the dressing room). The fourth and fifth bedrooms can inter-connect and make a generous suite with an ensuite bathroom.

A staircase rises to the second floor, which houses the property’s Pilates/hobby room, a gym with fireplace, fitted storage and a cloakroom, along with a large games room with fitted storage and an inter-connecting store room.

THE LETTING PORTFOLIO AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY Alongside Westgate Court is the Letting Portfolio which is set in a generous garden. Comprising 10 cottages and apartments arranged in three separate buildings, this generates substantial letting income and these three buildings are available in addition, if desired. Details of the letting income are available from the agent. The Letting Portfolio properties will not be sold prior to Westgate Court.

To the South of the letting cottages is a generous lawn and an extensive parking area. This area of the property is considered suitable for further development, subject to any necessary consents. Purchasers may consider this area suitable for a swimming pool, tennis court or a replacement building or additional dwellings.

AGENT'S NOTE: The Letting Portfolio will not be sold prior to Westgate Court.

Outside

Screened by mature hedging and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a gravelled driveway leading through double wooden gates to a block-paved parking area in front of the integral double garage.

The well-maintained front garden is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by a mature flowerbed and screened by mature topiary. The garden features a paved side terrace, bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds, and ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
