Description

Set within the idyllic parish of Woolley, this charming detached house enjoys a wonderfully peaceful position on a quiet country lane and boasts glorious, far reaching views across open countryside. The property is an ideal family home, offering generous and adaptable accommodation arranged over just two floors, well suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

The ground floor is thoughtfully laid out, centred around a welcoming entrance hall that leads through to a spacious kitchen, which is open plan to a dining area with a triple-aspect and sliding doors out to a large terrace. A comfortable sitting room is adjacent with oversized windows taking in the south-facing valley views. The house is filled with natural light while offering lovely views over the surrounding gardens and landscape beyond. Also on this level are two well proportioned bedrooms with built in wardrobes, a stylish family bathroom, a dedicated home office, and a separate utility room.

Garden and Grounds

The property enjoys a generous plot with gardens and grounds amounting to about 0.43 acres with unspoilt views across neighbouring countryside and farmland.

To the front of the property is a separate garage with pedestrian access leading to the front door of the house. This building has been reroofed in recent years and is currently utilised as a gym. To the side of the house is a sunny terrace with pergola from which to really enjoy the views, accessed directly from the dining room. From here is side access to the rear garden, which is substantial in size with a tree house at the rear and further impressive views over the house and beyond.

Separate from the main house lies a second parcel of land known as the paddock, positioned alongside the village lane and currently providing a substantial additional garden. Enjoying the same far reaching, uninterrupted views across the valley, this versatile space has served a variety of purposes over the years and offers exciting scope for future use, subject to any necessary consents. Whether envisaged as a productive kitchen garden, an area for outdoor recreation, or simply a secluded spot to sit and absorb the surrounding landscape, the paddock represents a rare and valuable asset.
