East Wing at Withinlee - Flipbook - Page 4
DESCRIPTION
The East Wing forms a substantial part of a large
mansion house, designed by Messrs Thomas
Worthington & Sons, with the house completed circa
1915. The house is a magnificent example of 1900s
Gothic styling with a suite of large, beautiful rooms
with exceptional ceiling height, all flooded with
natural light by large picture windows. The house was
divided into two wings circa 1967, with The East Wing
being occupied by the same family since that time.
The house has beautifully proportioned, family-sized,
flexible accommodation laid out over three floors.
A covered porch leads to the entrance hall with a door
to the cloakroom/WC. The huge, well-fitted kitchen/
breakfast/living room sits to one side of the hall, with
steps down to the living area, door to the laundry
and an opening through to the sun-drenched, southfacing conservatory with views of the gardens and Peak
District. To the other side of the entrance hall sits the
dining room, with built-in china cupboards. An inner
hall links the sitting room with the expansive, dualaspect drawing room with bay window to the south,
parquet flooring and open Minster fireplace with stone
surround and painted beams. The good-sized study,
with French doors to the front gardens and terrace,
completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor houses the principal suite, which has a
large bedroom with south-facing bay window and an
east facing window, both enjoying the views, with an
inner hallway leading to the en suite bathroom with
separate WC and bedroom four, which is currently
used as a dressing room. There are two further
bedrooms on the first floor, with bedroom two having
an en suite shower room.
The second floor houses bedrooms five and six, served
by the family bathroom, with this floor having much
scope for a staff annexe or studio.
