This fantastic three-bedroom house was designed by the architect Eric
Lyons, and built by the renowned Modernist development company Span in
the late 1960s. It is located on the award-winning Westfield estate in Ashtead, which is one of the most appealing and
best-preserved of all of the Span estates (for more information on
Span, please see the History section).
The property is a K-Type house, often considered to be the best Span design, and is in good order throughout. The current owner, an architect, has recently had plans approved to extend the house at the rear with the addition of a fourth bedroom and a dining room (for further details, please contact us). There is also a separate garage, as well as space
for off-street parking on the estate.
Eric Lyons's Span
developments are all about space and light, and blurring
the edges between outside and indoor space. Lyons paid great attention
to the surrounding landscape, designing and building houses around
existing splendid mature trees and creating communal areas that
encourage residents to mix. All homeowners at Westfield enjoy the use of
beautifully maintained
gardens and tennis court on the estate. The annual
service charge (approximately £1,200 p.a.) pays for, amongst other things, maintaining the communal gardens and exterior
redecoration.
Westfield is located in a quiet position away from any main roads in the popular Surrey village of Ashtead. Ashtead is located inside the M25 and has very good access to London and to the Surrey countryside by road and by rail. Trains run from Ashtead station directly to London Waterloo, London Victoria and London Bridge. The area has a good reputation for schools and the village provides a good range of shops and restaurants. For a wider selection, there are the nearby towns of Epsom, Leatherhead and Kingston-Upon-Thames. There is large green area in the village known as Ashtead Common, and further afield there are the Epsom Downs, Box Hill and the Surrey Hills for further outdoor activities.
