The Woodlands, High Street, Loftus

One of the most imposing properties in Loftus, located in the historic Market Place, 'The Woodlands' has had a scattered history, built in the late 18th century with its Rennie Mackintosh staircase, stained glass vestibule and landing window, this large family home really is the stand out property within this historic town!
The property has been sympathetically modernised downstairs by the current owner, who has painstakingly taken back the hallway wooden paneling to show its true identity, wooden block flooring throughout the majority of the ground floor. The kitchen and snug are a beautiful area for families to cook, relax and chill. Fitted with a modern kitchen, lantern roof and vaulted ceiling to the snug area, all opened up to a well proportioned dining room. Hidden double doors provide access to a large utility room and downstairs WC.
The Mackintosh staircase again has been tastefully reinstated with much of the stained glass windows being renovated, all the front windows to the property have been renovated with new glazed units, and new uPVC to the side and rear, due to the property being situated within a conservation area.
To the first floor are six extremely well proportioned bedrooms, and a large family bathroom, there is a full staircase to the spacious loft area which has real potential.
To the outside, there is gated access with parking for multiple vehicles to the rear and side, as well as a front garden laid mainly with lawn and borders.

Loftus is a historic market town, and The Woodlands is located in the heart of the Market Place next door to the Town Hall and St. Leonards church, only a short walk to local shops, schools, bars, restaurants and local bus routes this property really is well positioned.

The beauty of Loftus' location is that it is only a short trip to local seaside towns and villages, and only half an hour away from major towns such as Middlesbrough, Redcar and Whitby. The nearest train station is 15 minutes away at Saltburn, with routes to all major links.

The property to the ground floor has been significantly refurbished to the very highest of standards, however it should be noted that the bedrooms would still benefit from decoration, although all of the large upgrades and repairs have all been carried out. This ranges from roofs, guttering, heating systems, windows and doors as well as drainage, so the remaining works are simply decorative.
