Ideally positioned in the centre of the house is a most impressive open plan kitchen/dining room/family room. Again dual aspect, this wonderful, informal family space really is the hub of the home.

Arranged around a wide galleried landing with seating area, the bedroom accommodation is again well planned with five generous bedrooms served by four bath/shower rooms (3 en-suite). The vaulted principal bedroom is of particular note, benefitting from a spacious walk-in wardrobe, en-suite shower room and double doors opening out to a ‘Juliet’ balcony giving stunning views across the valley.

Positioned well back and centrally within glorious landscaped grounds, Woodrow Grange enjoys a peaceful and secluded position. Formal gardens wrap around the house itself with cleverly zoned entertaining areas framing extensive patios which overlook the expansive lawns.

The plot forms an L-shape to the rear with access leading through to pastureland approaching four acres ideal for either agricultural pursuits or for the equestrian enthusiast.

The house is approached via electronically operated gates (framed by dwarf brick walls and mature laurel hedging) and over a sweeping gravel driveway which opens out into a substantial parking area in front of a matching four bay garage.
