Summary - 1 Dairy Lane, Westerton DL14 8DU
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Large, modern family home with annex, panoramic south-facing views and strong energy credentials.
Over 4,750 sq ft across three floors and multiple reception rooms
A commanding family home arranged over three floors, The Brambles delivers more than 4,750 sq ft of flexible living space set on a very large plot with panoramic south-facing views across open countryside. The house combines modern performance (solar panels, air-source heating and underfloor heating) with dramatic contemporary features such as a double-height atrium window, large glazed garden room and extensive decking that make the most of its elevated position.
Accommodation is generous and versatile: a principal suite with dressing room and balcony, two guest suites, two further double bedrooms, a large family bathroom with sauna and steam room, and multiple reception rooms including a living room with projector. A separate stone-built annex currently used as a pottery studio offers scope — subject to renovation and any planning restrictions — for a granny flat or holiday let. Parking and storage are excellent with a triple garage and driveway space for up to six vehicles.
Practical points to note: the property occupies a rural hamlet location, so local shops are limited (nearest town about 3.2 miles). The title will require a boundary amendment on transfer, the annex will need work to become self-contained accommodation, and council tax is in a high band. Crime statistics are above average in the area, although connectivity is strong with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. This is a substantial, high-spec family residence best suited to buyers seeking seclusion, space and countryside views rather than an urban commute-first lifestyle.
