Charing Village

A beautifully presented five bedroom detached family home which has undergone extensive improvements since its construction in 2004 to create a bespoke high quality finish, sitting in grounds of approximately 1.17 acres with superb panoramic views of the North Downs.

Westlea House has been owned by the present vendor since new. In that time they have gone to great lengths to create a stylish yet comfortable home with such notable benefits as underfloor heating throughout provided by a gas boiler and Megaflow pressure tank, oak doors, marble and slate tiling, wiring for television and telephone in most rooms and the property also has the added benefit from being on mains drainage.

The property would be ideal for a large family with flexible accommodation arranged over two floors to include a large entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting/dining room, television/reading room, study, large family room with bi-folding doors to the rear, kitchen/breakfast room, and a utility room. To the first floor, there is an extensive master bedroom suite with separate dressing room and luxury fitted en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and sunken bath, a guest bedroom with en-suite, three further bedrooms, one of which has an additional room with potential for another en-suite and a family bathroom.
