Property Description
Grand, Arts & Crafts Style Residence | Original Features & High Ceilings | Sympathetically Renovated Throughout
Introducing 'Westwood' an elegant, Arts & Crafts style home located in the highly desirable Dartmouth Park area of Morley, on Park Avenue, adjacent to and overlooking the north-east boundary of the park itself.
“Westwood” was Built in 1912 by Sir William Middlebrook, this period home has been thoughtfully & sympathetically renovated to retain its original character and features throughout. As one of only two properties built on Park Avenue at the time, 'Westwood' is a rare gem to welcome to market - oozing class and charm alongside an abundance of history to match.
Entering via the front, step into an ornate, panelled vestibule with wall-to-wall stained-glass windows to the front and side aspects. The vestibule leads to the formal reception hall, featuring wood-panelling, an oak fireplace and further stained-glass windows bordering the entrance to the inner hall. A left turn from the reception hall opens into the sitting room, with a large bay window to the front aspect, offering a private view over the front grounds and Dartmouth Park beyond. This room also benefits from a feature cast-iron fireplace, the original coving, picture rail, plaster mouldings and restored floorboards.
A right turn from the reception hall leads through to a side-facing family room with bay window and stained-glass windows to the side, flooding the room with natural light. Directly ahead of the reception hall is the inner hall, with return staircase to the first floor, a downstairs W/C with part-tiled walls and pedestal sink, alongside an under-stair storage cupboard. The inner hall leads to the right, into the dining room - with large ornamental stone fireplace and pine bookcase.
Adjoining the dining room is the dining kitchen, re-configured in recent years to create a large open environment with Corian worktops, part-tiled walls and splash-backs, tiled flooring and shaker-style base and wall units. A side door leads to a separate utility space which in turn provides access to the rear of the property.
The first floor features four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main front bedroom overlooks Dartmouth Park with a window to front aspect and features a three-piece en-suite, with wash hand basin and vanity unit, walk-in shower and W/C. The house bathroom is located at the other end of the landing, with tiled walls and splash-backs, separate W/C, original enamel bath, pedestal sink, chromed fittings and leaded windows.
The second floor has recently been re-configured to create a large principal bedroom suite, comprising bedroom, bathroom, sitting room, office/gym and dressing room. The suite features exposed beams, hardwood flooring and a beautiful outlook over the park to the front, where the bedroom is located. This leads to a lounge/sitting area and a contemporary en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, vanity unit with wash hand basin, W/C and 'Velux' window. The suite also benefits from a dressing room with generous eave space either side for additional storage.
Externally, 'Westwood' is set in well-maintained grounds - boasting plentiful garden space with a generous mix of mature shrubbery and a large patio area perfect for entertaining. A gated driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to two single detached garages with remote-controlled doors.
The front of the property is approached via Park Avenue, a private road running alongside Dartmouth Park, whilst the gated driveway and garages can be accessed via East Park Street.
From a practical perspective, this beautiful period home is close to schools rated Outstanding by OfSTED, commuter links with the M1 and M62 motorways a ten minute drive away, and a generous array of independent shops, a railway station and other amenities in Morley town centre.
