Description - 7 Woodfold View is a substantial four-bedroom detached home, constructed primarily from reconstituted stone beneath a tiled roof, and thoughtfully designed to make the most of its exceptional setting. The property offers well-balanced and versatile accommodation, with the ground floor comprising a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room with adjoining utility, ideal for modern family living.

The first floor is a standout feature of the home, hosting a stunning sitting room with a vaulted ceiling and windows on all four aspects, flooding the space with natural light and capturing panoramic countryside views. This impressive room also benefits from direct access to both a balcony and a generous sun terrace, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

Planning permission was granted in 2020 for the construction of an annexe, with works commencing in early 2023 and now nearing completion. The annexe works, so far, have been finished to a high specification and includes underfloor heating, extensive use of glass and an open-plan living/kitchen/dining area. It also provides a separate bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room, which requires final completion.
Externally, the property is approached via a gravelled driveway and set within attractive gardens on three sides. These include a variety of seating areas and a raised decking terrace, all designed to take full advantage of the far-reaching rural views.

Accommodation - Glazed French doors open into a welcoming and spacious entrance hall, featuring an attractive tiled floor and a staircase rising to the first floor with a useful cupboard beneath. There is an airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder with slatted shelving, alongside an adjoining storage cupboard with hanging rail and shelving. At the heart of the home lies a generous open-plan kitchen/dining room, enjoying a dual aspect and including patio doors leading out to the rear garden. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a 1½ bowl single drainer sink with mixer tap set within ample work surfaces, complemented by a range of floor and wall-mounted cupboards and drawers. Appliances include an electric Aga, Neff induction hob with extractor over, Zanussi oven, integrated dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge. Attractive tiled flooring continues seamlessly into the dining area. A door leads through to the utility room, which is fitted with a stainless steel single drainer sink, adjoining worktops, and a further range of cupboards and drawers. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with a glazed door to the rear garden and internal access to the double garage.

Leading off the hallway are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views from two aspects and benefits from fitted wardrobes with overhead cupboards and oak flooring. A door leads to the en suite wet room, comprising a large walk-in shower, vanity unit, low-level WC, fully tiled walls and floor, and a heated towel rail.

There is a comprehensive range of floor and wall-mounted cupboards and drawers, along with integrated appliances including an electric hob with extractor over, oven and grill, large refrigerator, dishwasher, and built-in bin storage.

An airing cupboard houses the pressurised hot water cylinder and manifolds for the underfloor heating system. Adjoining the main living space is a double bedroom with oak flooring, two windows to the rear, and a walk-in wardrobe. The en suite shower room remains unfinished, offering an excellent opportunity for the incoming purchaser to complete and personalise the space to their own taste and specification.

Outside - To the front of the property is an attractive sun terrace, partially enclosed by timber trellis adorned with a variety of climbing plants, creating a sheltered and inviting space ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. This area is bordered by an assortment of shrubs and established planting, and also features an external cold water tap.

Beyond, the beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed and include four raised planters, four mature olive trees, a fine selection of roses, and a productive fig tree, adding both structure and seasonal colour. The upper lawn sweeps gracefully around to the side of the property, enclosed by a hedgerow, with a pathway leading through to the rear sun terrace. This area is complemented by an adjoining lawn and a raised decking terrace, which connects seamlessly with the annexe and provides an additional seating space perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding countryside views.
