An outstanding luxury family home, occupying a wonderful lawned garden site with mature trees, extending to circa 1.25 acres, located in the heart of Whitburn Village and is the youngest home on Front Street, positioned on the largest plot.

This special property, which was built in 1999 in an architect designed ‘Arts & Crafts’ style, offers a great deal of style and character with its wire cut bricks, lovely stone mullioned windows, tall chimney stacks and a beautiful pantile roof. The accommodation is particularly impressive with a fabulous leisure wing including a swimming pool and changing room, as well as wonderful reception rooms which enjoy views over the gardens.

Occupying a privileged position within the village, the entrance is set back from the main road behind the war memorial, under a Grade II listed carriage archway leading to the driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The property has been sympathetically built into a delightful walled garden, likely dating back to the late 1700s-early 1800s, and offers an exceptional level of privacy being hidden from Front Street and surrounded at the front by 4m high walls with an electric gated entrance.

The gardens are particularly impressive with many secret areas including lovely patio terraces, mature trees, beautiful and mature flower and shrub borders, as well as a lovely summerhouse currently utilised as a bar.
