The Property
Stepping under the storm porch at the front the of the property we are welcomed into Woodside by the most impressive reception hall. Formerly one of the reception rooms this space is a delight, a window looks directly onto the stunning rear gardens whilst our eye is drawn to the dogleg staircase that leads to the split landing on the first floor. Tiled flooring offers a practical solution underfoot whilst underfloor heating keeps the space cosy and continues into the stunning kitchen/dining space. Our vendors comment 'the kitchen really has become the hub of the house whether entertaining or simply relaxing at home' and we can see why! Approaching 24.ft the space is uncompromised offering relaxed seating, dining and working space in abundance. Bi-fold doors open to the conservatory further extending the room and offering the perfect vista of the stunning rear gardens with twin French doors opening to the same. Back in the kitchen we find an extensive range of modern wall and base units set against granite worksurfaces, incorporating two fridges, a dish washer, oven, microwave and warming tray whilst space for a range style cooker offers a focal point to the room. A window is set over the sink looking onto the garden and pond and door opens to the utility. The utility room echoes the standard in the kitchen. A butler sink is set to the wooden work tops whilst fitted units make space for the washing machine and tumble dryer and we find a fitted freezer. A door leads us to outside whilst internally we step into the ground floor shower room. Superbly fitted and designed for level access this 'wet' room offers an inclusive, modern space. Returning to the reception hall we find doors leading to our two reception rooms. The smaller currently serves as a formal dining space but would provide a perfect snug or home office enjoying a view of the rear gardens. At the head of the hall we find the sitting room, this generous room boasts a large bay window looking onto the gardens whilst a feature fire place offers a cosy focal point to the room. Heading upstairs the staircase splits to two landing areas both enjoying an elevated view to the front aspect. On the right we find the first two bedrooms, a large double and generous single both looking onto the rear gardens. On the left we first find the family bathroom which again offers the most exacting finish. An original refurbished cast slipper bath stands below the window whilst a w/c and wash basin are set to the opposite wall. Underfloor heating offers comfort under foot. Completing the accommodation we step into the impressive master bedroom, two roof windows and large bed level window fill the space with natural light and enjoy the garden views. Exposed timber floors and a vaulted ceiling bring character to the room whilst a door opens to the dressing room.

Outside
Approaching the property via Newgate we arrive at the frontage of Woodside at the foot of this roadway. This imposing cottage fronts the lane offering a convenient off road parking and turning space to the right hand side from where a gate opens to the side entrance. To the left we pass the frontage of the house and find gated access leading to the secure off road parking area. Here we find the detached garage and timber workshop. A storm porch shelters the front door whilst in true East Anglian style our vendors mainly use the rear entrance which leads in via the utility room. At the rear the third of an acre plot comes in to its own, landscaped to a standard that reflects inside and providing the perfect mix of spaces to enjoy wildlife, entertain and simply relax whilst enjoying the southerly aspect. At the rear a large patio leads from the conservatory perfect for summer entertaining. Extensive lawned gardens lead from the patio all of which are framed with a variety of planted borders and beds that bring colour throughout the year. The visible focal point of the garden is the stunning pond whilst hidden from view is the delightful studio. This recent addition provides a superb insulated timber structure set below a pan tiled roof offering versatile use, at the rear the building incorporates an open log store whilst at the front a delightful covered seating area takes in the view of the pond and the wildlife garden area on the western boundary. On the far east side of the plot we pass the garage and workshop and find a further extensive lawn. The entire garden is enclosed by fencing.
