West Hill, Aspley Guise

Description

A Distinguished Late Victorian Residence sitting on approximately an acre of grounds.

Set within the prestigious village of Aspley Guise, Larchfield is a striking and elegant late Victorian property steeped in history and character. With approximately 5,000 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, set on a private plot of around an acre, this substantial seven-bedroom detached family home offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. Blending timeless period charm with modern comforts, the home benefits from high ceilings, original architectural features, and graceful living spaces overlooking secluded, mature gardens.

The ground floor has an impressive entrance hall, complete with a cloakroom, and flows effortlessly into a series of generously sized rooms ideal for both family life and entertaining. The principal living room serves as the hub of the home, featuring a stunning fireplace and opening onto a light-filled sunroom with triple aspect garden views. A separate reception room with fireplace offers flexibility as a study or playroom, while the formal dining room, with French doors to the garden, is perfect for sophisticated dinner parties. A charming butler’s pantry—ideal as a wine store—complements the large, contemporary kitchen/breakfast room filled with natural light , which has been tastefully modernised but still holds on to the original character with a traditional Aga. A separate utility room and an additional WC completes the ground floor.

Ascending to the first floor via a graceful staircase with a half-landing w/c, you’ll find the principal suite which has been upgraded to a luxurious standard, complete with underfloor heating, electric roller blinds, a large private balcony with sweeping garden views, and a stylish en-suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor, two with shower rooms, and a family bathroom.

The second floor offers three additional generously sized double bedrooms, one of which includes an en-suite shower room, and a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath.

Outside, the beautifully maintained grounds are a true highlight of the property, offering space, privacy, and exceptional versatility. A key feature is the detached annex, which previously had planning permission to be converted into a self-contained two-bedroom bungalow. This presents an outstanding opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even a home office or rental unit—subject to renewed consents. The structure offers generous proportions and sits within its own defined space, making it ideal for a wide range of uses. The south-facing gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and are thoughtfully landscaped to create a relaxing and functional outdoor environment. At the heart of the garden is a large, paved sun terrace that surrounds a heated swimming pool—perfect for both family enjoyment and entertaining. The pool is complemented by a well-equipped pool house that includes a changing area, storage, and its own dedicated boiler and filtration system, ensuring year-round usability. A double garage and a generous driveway provide ample parking for numerous vehicles, further adding to the practicality and appeal of this unique property.
