A beautiful five-bedroom family home with stunning countryside views set in a private position in Westcott. Peacefully surrounded by stunning gardens with long driveway and garaging.
Description
Understood to date from the 1920s, Mill Way is an impressive family house with an attractive garden which has been recently being improved throughout by the current owners. Many of the rooms are generously proportioned offering light and airy living space as well as views over the garden and countryside beyond. There are a number of features typical of the period, including attractive stone fireplaces and bay windows.
First floor accommodation comprises a good size principal suite, including a dressing room and bathroom and lovely views beyond the grounds. There are two further bedrooms – one en suite - and a bathroom on this floor. Stairs lead to the second floor which accommodates two further bedrooms, a home office or games/hobby room and bathroom.
The wonderfully mature grounds are a particular feature of the property. A long private drive leads between evergreen hedges, shrubs and areas of lawn to arrive at a forecourt with ample parking in front of the garages. Laid out on three sides of the house is a fabulous patio area, ideal for summer outside dining.
Extensive lawns sweep away towards the boundary of mature trees and mixed hedges. There are beds and borders containing a wide variety of trees, shrubs and plants together with a summer house. Beyond the lawn and enclosed by hedges, there is an orchard and vegetable garden, with two greenhouses and sheds.
To the north of the house, lies a level former grass tennis court which is ideal for a wide variety of games and a detached outbuilding which could easily provide further garaging if required. From the rear of the gardens a gate leads to a public footpath providing direct access to the Surrey Hills.
