 Description

Set within approximately 0.75 acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds, Woodstock is a striking and substantial contemporary residence offering exceptional space, privacy and sophistication.  Originally constructed in the 1970s and comprehensively extended in 2015/16, the property now provides around 3,200 sq. ft. of beautifully curated accommodation, complemented by a separate 688 sq. ft. residential outbuilding, ideal for guests, extended family or ancillary use. 

A pillared entrance with electric security gate opens to a sweeping driveway that winds through manicured gardens, rising gently to the house, triple garage and generous forecourt parking area. 

The canopied front entrance leads into a light-filled reception hall with elegant tiled flooring. Thoughtfully designed storage and a refined guest cloakroom sit seamlessly alongside the principal living spaces. 

The ground floor hosts three luxurious double bedroom suites, each with stylish en-suite facilities and tranquil garden outlooks.   Bathrooms are finished to an exacting standard with premium fittings, bespoke storage and contemporary tiling. 

At the heart of the home lies a spectacular triple-aspect sitting room, defined by its vaulted ceiling, herringbone wood flooring and sleek, integrated contemporary fireplace. Bathed in natural light, the room enjoys far-reaching westerly views and opens via glazed sliding doors onto expansive terraces and the gardens beyond, creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior living. 

Equally impressive is the 32-foot open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, designed for modern living and sophisticated entertaining. A statement island anchors the space, complemented by an extensive suite of high-end integrated appliances including Neff ovens, induction hob, coffee machine, Quooker boiling tap and Liebherr wine fridge. Large glazed doors again open onto the outdoor entertaining areas, enhancing the home’s fluid layout. 

Adjoining snug with lovely front facing dual aspect over gardens, wooden flooring.

Garden and Grounds 

The beautifully landscaped gardens wrap gracefully around the house, with sweeping lawns, mature shrubs, vibrant flowerbeds and a selection of fruit trees including apple and pear. The rear gardens flow around the house with gently sloping lawns, seating areas, low stone walling and a charming gazebo, as well as a practical log store discreetly positioned to the rear. 

To the front, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn with tiered beds showcasing an attractive mix of flowers, grasses and established planting. A delightful playhouse sits within the front garden, providing a great retreat for children to enjoy.  Immediately adjoining the principal rooms is a series of expansive terraces, thoughtfully designed for entertaining, relaxation and outdoor dining.  Positioned as a striking focal point in front of the main living areas is a lovely koi pond, adding a sense of tranquillity and visual interest to the setting.
