Property description
Situated on the rural outskirts of Wootton Bridge, this enchanting lodge has been upgraded and extended by the current owner and offers versatile accommodation, beautiful gardens, private driveway parking and a double garage.
Originally constructed in 1910 as the north gatehouse to the Westwood House Estate, Westwood Lodge retains the character of a stunning historical residence, and has been upgraded and extended by the current owners to create a home which perfectly blends contemporary design and period charm. In recent years a ground floor extension was added to the rear elevation, creating a fabulous living/dining space which is open plan to the kitchen, combining to provide a wonderfully social layout ideal for entertaining. This fully renovated property benefits from a versatile layout, which could be configured in a number of ways to suit a new owner.
Peacefully located on desirable Brocks Copse Road, a leafy tree-lined lane which connects the villages of Wootton and Whippingham, the Lodge is close to local conveniences and well placed for idyllic rural and coastal walking routes. The popular village of Wootton offers an abundance of amenities including a hotel with a fine dining restaurant, local stores that cater for food, wine and groceries, and there are some great takeaways, plus there are mooring facilities on the creek. Nearby services include a primary school and a community centre, a well-maintained recreation and sports ground, as well as a health centre, pharmacist and a vet. The bustling town of Ryde with its sandy beaches, eclectic mix of shops and restaurants, as well as the Independent Ryde School, is just a ten-minute drive away, and in the other direction is the county town of Newport which boasts a range of shops, restaurants, cinemas and the exciting Quay Arts Centre, all less than five miles from the property. The Lodge is also ideally located for mainland travel links, with a regular car ferry service just two miles away and a high-speed foot passenger service only a fifteen-minute drive from the property. This home is also within close proximity to bus stops on the Southern Vectis route between Ryde and Newport, which serves the village every fifteen minutes during the day.
Accommodation comprises a grand reception hall, which could serve as an additional living room, two en-suite double bedrooms, a drawing room, which could also be a fourth bedroom, a family bathroom, kitchen, utility room with a cloakroom, and a stunning open plan sitting/dining room on the ground floor, with a further double bedroom and ensuite shower room on the first floor. Outside, mature planting, wrap around lawns, a dining terrace, a driveway and a double garage complete this beautiful home.
