“We have owned Westward House for fifteen years now,” says Angela, “but we

initially happened upon it quite by chance. It was

a glorious sunny day in May, and my husband

and I had some time on our hands and as we

were driving through Ramsey we came across

this absolutely beautiful house, which we both

admired from afar. Not long after, again quite by

chance, my husband discovered that it was for

sale. We viewed it a few days later and decided

to buy it there and then.”

“The house has had quite the history,” Angela observed.

“It was built in the 1880s by a local solicitor. In the 1950s it was

acquired by the local Council and provided a much-loved children’s

home, and later a home for local elderly people. The previous

owners had converted it back into a house, and so we were able

to put our efforts into all the finishing touches that gave it back its

family feeling.” “We’ve done so much work to it over the years,”

continues Angela, “but the biggest transformation has occurred

in the kitchen. As soon as we viewed the house I knew it would

become the heart of our home. It’s now a glorious space with a

vaulted ceiling and a garden room. on the back. I love it so much

that when we move I will have to build the same kitchen again. It’s

perfect for relaxing, entertaining and for parties-especially when

we barbecue in the garden.”

“We’re lucky enough to have just over two acres of grounds,” Angela

observed, “and the house is situated almost exactly in the middle. The property is

surrounded by trees and hedges which are wonderfully mature, so when you step

out of the house you feel as if you are in your own private slice of countryside. It’s

an absolute haven for wildlife; we often see muntjac deer wandering around on the

lawn. We also have two orchards.”

“I love this house and its location”, commented Angela. “Ramsey is the most friendly place in which to live. We didn’t know anyone when we first moved

here, but we’ve since made a great many wonderful friends; when I pop into Tesco my husband never knows when I’ll come out because I’m always bumping into

someone I know. There’s a really strong community feel and it’s a place where one can have a wonderful social life without ever getting into a car. “
