West End House, built in 1719, is a handsome detached family house which retains much of its original character and charm. Positioned within the heart of the village of Didmarton, the house offers very well-balanced accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor comprises a charming drawing room with open fireplace and French doors leading onto the south facing garden, a dining room as well as a large kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and classic conservatory leading directly off. A TV room, with adjoining occasional bedroom, guest cloakroom, cellar and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, one of which is en suite, and a further three/four bedrooms as well as an additional bathroom can be found on the top floor.
West End House is Grade II listed.
To the rear of the house there is a well-maintained south facing garden with a manicured lawn, flanked by wonderfully mature borders filled with an abundance of shrubs and perennials including mature roses. To the rear of the garden a wooden gate leads past four open storage sheds to the hard tennis court and the two paddocks, both of which adjoin the Badminton Estate.
There is ample parking alongside the rear garden, bordered by six stables, a tack room and two carports. A separate open garage is situated to the side of the house.
