THE PROPERTY The words one would associate with Pinewood are quality and versatility. The property is exceptionally well presented throughout using high quality materials (from tiled floors to the contemporary staircases, oak doors and walls of glass designed to take full advantage of the garden views). The property has the benefit of modern living with its high levels of insulation, air source heat pump and solar thermal panels whilst retaining considerable character - with wood burning stoves, high ceilings, oak doors, etc. The large spacious entrance hall opens to a sitting area that has a 14ft high part-vaulted ceiling, bi-fold doors that open to create an 11ft wide opening onto terracing with the garden beyond. An ideal snug/day room also has double doors onto the garden, a more formal drawing room enjoys views over the garden and an opening that links to a garden room which in turn has a 9ft plus high ceiling and double doors opening onto terracing. The bedrooms are good sizes with potential to be utilised for other purposes if so required. The bathrooms are all attractively tiled and serve each bedroom area perfectly. The principal suite has a high ceiling, ensuite bathroom with deep double ended bath and double doors opening to a balcony which in turn provides for far reaching views. The kitchen/dining room has been cleverly designed to provide a feel of large open space but with 2 distinct areas; a dining/living area which has a 12ft high ceiling and a wall of glass providing wonderful views over the garden and incorporates double doors opening onto terracing. The kitchen area is finished with a matching island unit and thick granite worktops all to a high quality - purpose built for the room, with built-in dishwasher, fridge and space for a range cooker. The large utility/boot room has a door opening to the side garden, plumbing for washing machine with space/point for large style fridge/freezer, integrated sink and door to the double garage. 

OUTSIDE The grounds are exceptional, the subject of much improvement by the current owners, cleverly landscaped into distinct areas to incorporate a perfect blend of formal garden, meadow, orchard, etc. Colour and variety throughout complement the many specimen trees that offer a high degree of privacy and abut fields which in turn provide far reaching countryside views. There is a large greenhouse, gazebo and timber shed that is ideal for a ride on mower and also has power and internet connected. Double garage with electric roll-top doors, off-road parking and an electric car charging point.
