A wonderful detached 5 bedroom family home with indoor swimming pool, extensive garaging and views

Tucked away in a peaceful semi-rural setting, Westerland Dale is a substantial and versatile detached home offering 6,172 square foot of spacious and flexible accommodation to suit a wide range of lifestyles. Originally constructed in the 1960s and owned by the same family for the last fifty years, the property has been significantly extended over time, most notably with the addition of an impressive indoor swimming pool complex that must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Currently arranged as a five bedroom home over two floors, the layout includes four bedrooms on the first floor, along with a generously proportioned ground floor master or guest suite complete with en suite facilities. There are four reception rooms, three of which are part of the main house, with a sizeable fourth located above the garaging offering excellent potential for annex conversion or alternative use. The stunning indoor pool complex is a real highlight, featuring direct access to a large south facing sun terrace, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Car enthusiasts will be delighted by the extensive parking and twin double garages, with the larger garage accommodating up to four vehicles and incorporating an inspection pit. The second garage also offers room for two cars and further space could be created by removing built-in cupboards and storage units. Set behind wrought iron gates and surrounded by well screened borders, Westerland Dale occupies a 0.79 acre plot with easy to maintain wraparound gardens. There's ample parking to the front of the garages, and attractive countryside views can be enjoyed from various parts of

the grounds.

While the property would now benefit from some modernisation and perhaps reconfiguration to suit contemporary tastes, it offers an exciting opportunity to create a truly outstanding home in a prime location. An early viewing of this lovely family home is strongly recommended to appreciate the scale and potential on offer.

Deceptively spacious and full of possibility, Westerland Dale is nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Westerland, near Marldon. The home offers generous living accommodation, an impressive leisure space, and exciting potential to update or reimagine the property as a contemporary family residence or even a Grand Designs style project.

Set across two floors, the layout includes a series of flexible reception rooms arranged off the central hallway and kitchen, as well as a welcoming sun room to the front. The two principal reception rooms lead directly to the outstanding indoor swimming pool complex, which features its own shower room, sauna and changing area, whilst opening directly onto the south facing sun terrace. This space could easily be reconfigured to form a spectacular open plan kitchen/living area with its seamless

access to the outdoors. Also on the ground floor is a study or additional bedroom, along with a spacious guest or master suite with en suite facilities.

Upstairs, there are four further generously sized bedrooms many enjoying lovely views over the surrounding countryside as well as a family shower room/WC and there is scope to create an additional bathroom if desired. The large dual aspect fourth bedroom connects to a landing area with stairs heading down to the garages with a substantial reception room positioned above. This expansive space lends itself perfectly to conversion into a luxurious master suite, separate guest accommodation, or even a self-contained annex. Both double garages offer extensive secure parking. The larger garage includes space for up to four vehicles and an inspection pit, while the second can accommodate two cars and could be reconfigured to suit further needs. Together, these spaces open the door to exciting design possibilities that could enhance the home's layout and function even further.

A set of private wrought iron gates leads onto the spacious driveway, with ample parking in front of both garages. As with the house itself, the grounds of Westerland Dale are surprisingly extensive, with large lawns wrapping around the property and offering an ideal canvas for keen gardeners or those seeking outdoor entertaining space. The gardens are bordered by mature hedging and planting, ensuring a high level of privacy and creating a peaceful, secluded environment. There are countryside views from several vantage points within the grounds, adding to the charm of this idyllic setting.

The property is served by private drainage, with a septic tank located in the front garden.
