Westbourne House is a skilfully converted 5 bedroom detached family residence, of the most significant appeal showcasing fine contemporary living and deceptive outdoor space.
The present owners purchased this property in late 2021 as a tired commercial building. Construction and major renovations started around 12 months ago following a successful planning application to convert into a residential dwelling.
Since then, the owners have undertaken a comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment which has seen the house significantly reconfigured and the entire building refurbished, now presenting an almost brand-new property. The architectural brief was to create an extensive family home with a vision to crucially maximise the outdoor space, which was impressively completed by way of a lawned area and a more adult style courtyard.
The house has a wonderful feel and atmosphere: whilst it has very spacious rooms, voluminous double-height spaces and large roof lights that connect you to the outside, it nonetheless retains the atmosphere of a comfortable home. The flow of the house was given extraordinary consideration and designed with open plan living in mind whilst also having two separate rooms to the ground floor.
The majority of the ground floor accommodation is made up of the open plan kitchen and lounge area, which runs the full width of the property and importantly connects both outdoor areas. The kitchen has an elegant design with dark blue coloured units with quartz work surfaces over and incorporates a number of integrated appliances which include a wine cooler, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and cooking facilities. Located off the kitchen area is an important utility room having matching units and provisions in place for laundry facilities.
The openness of the lounge creates a wonderful area, created with open plan living in mind and doesn't disappoint - offering tremendous space and having an inset wood burning stove with built in log store below. French doors adjoin both side elevations, seamlessly flowing to both outdoor areas. There is room to facilitate appropriate lounge and dining room furniture.
Access to the garage in addition to a cloakroom wc completes the ground floor accommodation.
A beautiful turned staircase leads to the first floor landing, giving access to three generous double bedrooms, one of which is complemented by an en suite shower. All three bedrooms benefit from a double glazed casement window and central heating radiator. The house bathroom will be found on the first floor too, enjoying contrasting tiling and flooring with a large walk in shower and white three piece suite. The bathroom continues the bespoke fittings and standard throughout the entire house.
A secondary set of stairs leads to the top floor, being a converted loft forming a further two double bedrooms with elevated views across to Selby Abbey in the distance. The height of the bedrooms was carefully considered, nothing being compromised.
Externally, the property will be found set back from Westbourne Road and in turn leads into a hardstanding driveway with the ability to provide off street parking for several motor vehicles. There is access into the garage by way of an electronically operated door also having power and lighting inside.
A pathway from the front continues alongside the property and to the rear, enjoying a private and enclosed lawned garden, with brand new fencing and patio areas. To the other side of the property and previously described as the more mature styled garden, the present owners have designed an awesome enclosed courtyard, all landscaped with 360 degrees lighting. Attention to detail has been applied here, having modern wood cladding to one side and the remaining walls completed to a render finish. This space is undoubtedly a destination for outdoor dining and entertaining whilst having that all important connection into the house.
The property has been well constructed, with bespoke and contemporary living inside and is sure to be of interest to those with families. All viewings are strongly encourage and strictly by appointment only.
