5 bed detached house for sale

Akeferry Road, Westwoodside DN9

An exceptionally transformed five-bedroom detached family home, offering stylish contemporary living, generous gardens, a superb open-plan kitchen and an enviable village setting.

Summary

Approx. 1,711 sq ft, with a layout you can adapt: Five bedrooms, or four plus a home office. Four bathrooms, a 9.6m kitchen/family room opening onto the garden, and a separate snug for film nights or dinner parties. Completely transformed and finished as new, in the village of Westwoodside.

Why This House?

It has the finish of a brand-new home on an established village plot, not on an estate, with a sizeable front garden, a driveway for two to three cars and a larger rear garden than most modern homes.

The layout works for how families actually live. The open-plan kitchen/dining/family room is the everyday space. The separate snug gives you a second place to relax, watch a film or host a proper dinner. On the ground floor, a room next to the shower room works as a home office or a fifth bedroom, and upstairs, bedroom four can be a second office. It is sold with a warranty (certificate available on request) and has an EPC rating of C.

Ground Floor

The entrance hall has an oak and glass staircase and oak-finish doors. Its layout keeps the living areas, the snug and the office separate from each other.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room (31' 6'' x 11' 10'' (9.60m x 3.60m))

This is where the house is lived in. Dark contemporary units contrast with pale worktops. There are fully integrated high quality Caple appliances including oven/microwave, hob, extractor, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. The central island has room for breakfast stools. There is room for a dining table and a sofa, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. Bifold doors open straight onto the patio, so the kitchen and garden work as one space in summer.

Utility Room

Matching units, space for the washing machine and dryer, and a door to the outside, which is useful for muddy boots and dogs.

Snug (14' 10'' x 11' 11'' (4.53m x 3.63m))

A separate room with its own door, away from the kitchen. Use it as a cinema room for family film nights, a formal dining room for entertaining, or a playroom that keeps toys out of the main living space.

Home Office Or Bedroom Five And Shower Room (11' 4'' x 8' 6'' (3.45m x 2.60m))

A ground-floor room that is easy to work from: Calls stay private and away from family life. The dimensions listed are for this room. It is next to a fully tiled shower room, so it works equally well as a guest room or a bedroom for a relative who would rather avoid the stairs.

Principal Bedroom (11' 11'' x 11' 10'' (3.63m x 3.60m))

Bedroom Two (18' 8'' x 11' 11'' (5.68m x 3.63m))

A second large double bedroom overlooking the garden, with its own fully tiled en-suite shower room. It works as a second main bedroom or a suite for an older teenager.

Bedroom Three (13' 4'' x 11' 11'' (4.06m x 3.63m))

Bedroom three is a double overlooking the rear.

Bedroom Four (11' 4'' x 8' 11'' (3.45m x 2.71m))

Bedroom four faces the front and suits a child's room, or a second office for households where two people work from home.

Family Bathroom (8' 2'' x 5' 11'' (2.5m x 1.8m))

A bath, a separate glazed shower, a vanity unit and WC, with large-format tiling and a tall designer radiator.

Outside

The house sits back from the road behind a sizeable lawned front garden and a block-paved driveway with parking for two to three cars. It gives the house real kerb appeal and space from the road. A brick-built single garage (approx. 5.53m x 2.52m / 18'2" x 8'3") has a roller door.

At the back, a newly laid patio leads onto a large, level lawn enclosed by timber fencing, with gated side access. There is room for children to play, a dog to run and a table for summer entertaining. The garden faces south west with the patio receiving sun from midday into the evening.
