Description

Woodlands is a double-fronted property offering 4,879 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Configured to provide a characterful and practical living and entertaining environment, the property sensitively combines quality fixtures and fittings, contemporary sanitaryware and elegant décor with period features including leaded casement glazing, exposed wall and ceiling beams and original joinery.

The accommodation flows from a parquet-floored reception hall with window seating and a useful cloakroom. The spacious sitting room features an exposed brick open fireplace, and flows through via double doors to an L-shaped games room complete with bar and window seating. The games room leads to a pantry with back door to the terrace, as well as the family room with bright bay window looking out to the lawn. An interconnecting dining room with flagstone flooring features French doors to the terrace and an open-timbered wall leads to an open kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with flagstone flooring, bespoke wall and base units, a large central island, complementary worktops and splashbacks, an Aga, and modern integrated appliances. Adjoining is a fitted utility room with a door to the rear garden. A part-panelled study with a bay window and brick fireplace with woodburner completes the ground floor.

The vaulted first floor offers a principal bedroom with fitted storage and a beautiful marble tiled en suite bathroom with feature bath and separate shower. There are four further double bedrooms, one with another newly finished en suite, along with a family bathroom.

The property is approached over a sweeping driveway, via two entrances with electric gates, providing private parking and giving access to the extensive garaging and outbuildings. The most notable has three sets of bi-fold doors to a terrace, and could be used as a games room or home office. Whilst there is also a further detached double garage, and a quadruple tandem garage, fully electric doors on them all, with external steps rising to an annexe with sitting room/kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.

The well-maintained garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to lawn bordered by mature trees. It features an ornamental lake with a water feature and jetty, a walled swimming pool with paved surround, hot tub and pool house and a generous paved rear terrace, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoying views over the property’s remaining pastureland and open countryside beyond.
