The multifunctional kitchen/breakfast/family room boasts both bi-folding doors opening out to the gardens as well as remotely controlled lantern lights, and is comprehensively fitted with a sleek range of high specification Smallbone of Devizes units finished with granite surfaces. The kitchen also boasts an electric 4-oven aga and hot cupboard with induction hob and a remote control as well as a Quooker boiling tap.
The ground floor further offers a pantry and large utility room, which houses the central vacuum unit, and ample storage, and a cloakroom. Situated on the first floor is the main bedroom with newly fitted en suite bathroom with walk-in shower and standalone bath. Also located on this floor are three further double bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom and two which share a large family bathroom/wet room. All bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating.
Greenwood is approached through electric wooden gates which open onto an impressive and sweeping gravel driveway leading up to the house. There is ample parking for several cars and plenty of space for a garage/car port, subject to PP. Leading directly from the house to the rear is an attractive gravel terrace with stunning views over the gardens and woodland beyond. The beautiful gardens of approximately 1.849 acres wrap around the house and are mainly laid to lawn.
