Andrew Kelly and Associates are extremely delighted to offer for sale this stunningly presented THREE BEDROOM semi-detached period property, which is of a type very rare to the market in the area provides a wealth of charm and character. Last on the market almost 100 years ago, and dating back to the mid-1800s, the home occupies an elevated position, is tucked away and set in a fantastic idyllic location.Originally commissioned by the owners of Facit Mill as a grand family residence, Westville 1 sits on the edge of the hills above Whitworth, boasting fantastic open aspect views to the front, side and rear. Spectacular scenic walks within the surrounding countryside are available from the door, and the house is only a short walk from Healey Dell nature reserve.Access to this beautiful property is either from the front gate through the mature front gardens, via the side entrance to the patio area, or the rear entrance via a good sized cobbled yard. Entrance to the front of the property is via a large double glazed conservatory, through the original door way, complete with stained glass windows, into the large hallway. Inside on the ground floor sits a well-presented kitchen/dining area, separate pantry, and a superbly sized, double aspect lounge. Complete with large, original windows, this room is understood to have served as the breakfast room in the original house.To the first floor there are two large double bedrooms, the double aspect master being of an exceptional size and offering great views of the front gardens and countryside, and a three piece bathroom. To the second floor is another substantially sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and eave storage space.The house sits within large mature gardens. Externally to the front of the house is a dedicated lawned area, together with two further separate patio areas complete with mature planting. To the rear is a good sized cobbled courtyard area, which includes two outbuildings, the largest of which has potential for renovation. Across the lane from the property sits a substantial piece of land, currently utilised as a very large planted, lawned garden, which offers stunning views over the valley. The garden also includes a separate cutting garden which was used for business purposes by the current owner, but which has the potential to be developed or put to other uses (subject to necessary consents).
