Description
With walks in abundance on the doorstep, close to schools and restaurants, discover a period home overflowing with character and warmth, at West View.
Character charm
Set back from the road, West View, a handsome Edwardian home, enjoys an imposing position and elevated views out over the fields. Tucked away at the end of a row of characterful homes, parking is available to the rear, outside the garage.
Renovated and renewed over a forty-year tenure, West View has evolved into a comfortable family home with hard wood, double glazed windows designed by a local joiner to reflect original designs.
A quaint gate, recently replaced and true to its original design, opens to a paved path, leading up through the front garden to the bay fronted red brick exterior of West View.
Welcome home
Built in 1912, with a wealth of stunning original features, make your way in, via the stained-glass front door, which opens into the light-filled entrance hallway. Inside, the high ceiling imbues the home with an airiness, whilst wooden flooring flows out underfoot.
The original wooden balustrade and spindles of the impressive staircase ahead are eye-catching, fitted with seagrass carpet runner, edged in linen.
On the right, the downstairs cloakroom, with traditional style wash basin and WC, features Fired Earth ceramic tiles in a striking monochrome design. A stained-glass window invites light in.
Light filled living awaits in the main lounge, where original wooden flooring continues through from the entrance hall. Double glazed throughout for a cosy warmth, an open fire crackles merrily from within its original fireplace. Bright and bountiful, the broad bay window looks out to the front garden, with stained-glass lites, whilst feature coving and ceiling rose embellish the ceiling above.
Next door, nestled to the rear of the home, the living room is cosy and inviting, with stained-glass lites drawing sunlight in whilst framing views to the garden. Alcoves lined with shelving provide storage, with another original fireplace, depicting watercolour scenes, housing an open fire.
Heart of the home
From the hallway, ahead, a door opens to the family dining kitchen, the hub of the home.
Bright and elegant, this modern SieMatic kitchen from Stuart Frazer blends contemporary colours and function with the warmth and traditionality of the British racing green Aga, nestled within the chimney breast, with shelving featured in the alcoves to either side.
Solid oak floor from luxury flooring specialist Ted Todd extends underfoot, with white handleless cabinetry and drawers supplying storage, topped in highly durable Corian work surfaces.
Feature lighting presents a number of options - from soft mood lighting - to task lighting, whilst a host of appliances include a Neff induction hob, combi oven, fridge and Miele dishwasher.
Pause in the window seat and admire the courtyard views and lawn beyond.
Returning to the entrance hall, sneak a peek down the cellar stairs to discover an impressive multipurpose basement. Fully tanked, this versatile space has evolved for family use over the years and has served as an office, family space for teenagers and is currently used as a utility room/larder storage/boot room.
Soak and sleep
When bedtime beckons, ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, turning right into the shower room, where monochrome Fired Earth tiles feature underfoot, warmed by underfloor heating. Wake up to the new day with a spritz beneath the rainfall head of the wet room walk-in shower. There is also a WC, wash basin and designer radiator.
Stepping up, turn right into bedroom two. Brimming with light, this bedroom is generously sized and features a stunning Victorian sink, updated with Fired Earth taps. Original flooring flows out underfoot with an elegant, original open-hearth fire and picture rail. Admire the views out over the rear garden.
Next, continue along the landing, arriving at another bountiful bedroom, bathed in light from the large window framing rural views out over the garden and surrounding countryside. Spacious and bright, with ample room for wardrobes, this bedroom features pitch pine original flooring and an open fire with white cast iron surround.
With glorious views out over the fields to Walshaw church, a third capacious bedroom is furnished with a striking tiled fireplace, with black marble mantle, again affording space, peace and privacy. Fitted shelving provides storage.
Throughout the home, a delicate colour palette blends contemporary with classic in muted shades of grey, green and blue.
At the end of the landing, Fired Earth tiles feature underfoot in the luxurious bathroom, where soft green shades adorn the walls. Soak away your cares in the roll top, claw footed tub with showerhead attachment, with contemporary floating wash basin on an oak counter, WC and designer cast iron style radiator.
English country garden
Landscaped front and back by an award-winning local landscaper, the gardens at West View blend natural beauty with functionality.
Beech and laurel hedging provides privacy to the front, with acer trees and privets framing the path, whilst the curvaceous garden design serves to reflect some of the patterns in the stained-glass window in the bay window and entrance hall.
Sit out in the courtyard directly next to the house and enjoy coffee and croissants beside the miniature weeping willow and pretty pink hydrangeas. Saturated in sunshine in the mornings, beyond the courtyard is your private piazza, with natural stone patio imported from Donegal, and an easy to manage lawn.
Brimming with colour, planting includes two stunning white hydrangeas that flower all summer long, an apple tree and a row of pleached hornbeam trees.
There is also a large garage with large bi-folding wooden doors at the front, as well as a back door.
On your doorstep
Step out of your back door and discover all the fantastic walks that await close by. Explore the Kirklees Nature Reserve trail, just two minutes from the door where you can walk, jog, or cycle in beautiful woodland that leads to Tottington and Greenmount.
Dine out in the many local restaurants nearby, including the Juniper & Vine pub just five minutes away where you can enjoy small tapas plates and great pizza alongside their tantalising gin bar. In nearby Walshaw there is also a super Italian restaurant, whilst in Tottington you can choose from Stanley's wine bar and Chinese restaurant, China Rose.
With a local Tesco Express just two minutes' walk away and numerous hairdressers and popular beauty salons close by you are well served by local amenities. Meanwhile Stables Country Club is a 15-minute walk away.
With the main bus route to Bury right outside the door, there is culture to be enjoyed at the local museums, and for families there is a wide choice of primary schools in Walshaw and Elton, with nearby high schools in Elton and Tottington whilst Bury Grammar is a ten-fifteen minute drive away.
A wonderful family home, with space for children to grow, the row has a real sense of community, whilst West View itself is a rare gem of a period home; brimming with character coupled with contemporary design features, it truly offers the best of both worlds.
