Alne Hills, Great Alne, Alcester, Warwickshire, B49

Woodhouse Farm is a beautiful, detached property, constructed from brick under a tile roof. The property has been sympathetically refurbished and extended by the current owners and effortlessly blends traditional character and charm with modern-day living.

The front door opens to an elegant entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. A door opens to a magnificent, dual aspect, sitting room with feature fireplace housing a wood burner, decorative cornicing, and a ceiling rose. Opposite the sitting room is a door opening to a well-proportioned dining room, which also benefits from a feature fireplace and beautiful views to the front garden. The entrance hall continues to a spacious reception hall with tiled flooring and an original wooden door which opens to a cloakroom. Double-glazed doors open to a delightful drawing room with built-in storage, a charming brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and external double doors leading to the patio beyond. The reception hall also provides access to the magnificent, open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room with two sets of bifold doors opening to the stone-paved patio and garden beyond, providing a bright and airy entertaining space. The stylish kitchen benefits from an extensive range of wall-mounted and base units sat beneath a quartz worktop, a wine fridge and space for a fridge/freezer. Steps in the entrance hall lead down to a wine cellar, which is currently fitted as a utility room; however, would also be useful as a storage room.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to an impressive Principal bedroom with an en suite shower room. The first floor further extends to three generous bedrooms, all of which offer different aspects of the beautiful surrounding countryside and are served by a spacious family bathroom, complete with fitted bath and walk-in shower.

Stairs on the first-floor landing rise to the second floor, which offers two further bedrooms, both of which benefit from en suite shower rooms and unrivalled views of the open countryside to the west and the east.

Outside

Externally, the property is accessed by wooden gates which open to a private gravel driveway with ample parking space for a number of cars, and further benefits from a triple garage.

The garden is a particular feature of the property; it is principally lawned and wraps around the property to the north and the south. The front garden offers a scattering of young pear, apple and cherry trees and is bordered partly by a mature hedgerow, and partly by wooden post and rail fencing with stock netting, offering privacy and seclusion. To the rear, a stone-paved patio provides space for outdoor entertaining and leads to a gravelled area complete with a water feature and raised wooden flower beds. The rear garden is expansive and provides a variety of mature and well-established trees. Furthermore, the rear garden offers superb, northerly views to the gallops beyond and provides access to the paddock via a wooden gate.
