There's no denying that Westbrook Hall is grand.
The scale of the property alone is staggering, reaching just over 8,500 sq ft of beautifully presented internal living space. Grade II listed, the Georgian country house is currently for sale via Knight Frank at a guide price of £3.295 million.
However grand it may be, it also feels homely...I'd even go as far as to say cosy, even. With wooden beams, decorative cornicing and large curved archways helping to create softer elements.
The property — once timber framed, and with elements of the original timber still evident in the older part of the house — is believed to have originated as a bondsman's cottage which was part of the manor of Slaughterford, built in the 17th century.
New additions were added and refurbishment work was carried out over three occasions during the 19th and 20th century.
The blend of older and newer elements harmoniously work to create a space for any need — whether entertaining on a grand scale, or lighting a fire and curling up with a glass of wine and a book in the smaller snug sitting room.
There are so many corners and elements to the house that help make it feel like a home – but the mid-level landing-turned-bar is a real focal point.
As is the case with many large properties with acres of land (there's just over 8 acres on offer here, by the way) the gardens and grounds can feel a little too formal. However, Westbrook Grove is framed with graceful Willow trees that hang over a large pond, mature Cedar, Eucalyptus, Rhododendron's and Scots Pine, which all create a parkland feel to the grounds.
Also within the garden is a large ornate bird cage feature, and a curved, south-facing swimming pool which is sheltered behind a wall — the perfect sun trap spot.
Westbrook Hall is currently for sale via Knight Frank at a guide price of £3.295 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
