School Road, Saltwood, CT21

DESCRIPTION
Woodpeckers is an enchanting 1930's house built by Charliers, a local building company held in high regard who are still in existence today. Approached via a sloping driveway which provides parking for at least two vehicles and access to the detached garage, the property occupies a generous level plot and is surrounded by its beautifully secluded gardens to three sides.

The current owners have completed a programme of improvement and reconfiguration of this beautiful home whilst retaining as much of the original elements of the property as possible which exudes charm and character throughout both the attractively appointed interior and exterior. The well proportioned accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule, a wide and welcoming hallway leading to a comfortable sitting room with adjoining study, a generous kitchen/dining room with French doors opening to the garden, a snug, utility area and cloakroom. On the first floor the landing leads to three double bedrooms, the principal room with en-suite shower room, walk-in wardrobe and distant sea views, a bathroom and separate w.c. There are also two useful attic rooms.

The very private gardens are a delight. They have been lovingly planted over time for year round interest. They incorporate a lovely terrace and a large outbuilding which has been divided to create a garden room and separate studio, either would be most comfortable as a home office. There is also a garage an parking.

For room sizes please refer to the floor plan.
