Woodlands Drive, Foston, DE65

A COSY THREE-BEDROOM HOME IN FOSTON WITH FAR-REACHING COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS, A LOG BURNER AND A GATED DRIVEWAY.

Our agent Alice says:

“The countryside views here are something else. With open fields stretching out beyond the garden, there’s such a lovely sense of privacy and calm. Inside, it’s cosy and welcoming, with bright, connected living spaces that make it easy to picture yourself at home.

Set within a cul-de-sac in Foston, timber gates open onto a generous block-paved driveway with parking for several vehicles. Established planting adds to the tucked-away feel, and there’s access to a single garage within a nearby block.

The entrance hall leads to the main living spaces and a downstairs WC. The lounge is exactly where I’d want to be on a colder evening, with the log burner lit and somewhere comfortable to curl up. A wide front window brings in plenty of light, while glazed double doors lead into the dining room.

There’s plenty of space here for everyday meals or having everyone round, with connections to both the kitchen and conservatory. Wide bi-folding doors let you open the dining room into the conservatory, drawing your eye towards the garden and fields beyond.

The kitchen offers plenty of cupboard and worktop space, a built-in oven and hob, and room for further appliances. Two windows make the most of the countryside outlook, with a door providing access outside. The conservatory is a lovely spot for a morning coffee, with windows across two sides and French doors onto the garden.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a generous double with built-in wardrobes and a view I’d happily wake up to every day. The second bedroom is another double with built-in storage, while the third would suit a single bedroom, nursery or office. The family shower room includes a large walk-in shower, vanity basin, WC and heated towel radiator.

The garden has paved and decked areas, mature planting and a covered seating space beneath a timber pergola. There’s a substantial timber workshop, additional storage and a gate giving access to the adjoining field.

For me, it’s the combination of those incredible views and the homely feel that makes this one special. Somewhere to light the fire in winter, open the doors in summer and enjoy the countryside throughout the year.”

Our sellers thoughts:

“I have loved living and bringing up my family in this property since 1997. It is a beautiful location with a fantastic community of friendly neighbours who have all similarly lived here for many years. It's a real family home which I will be very sad to leave but a change in circumstances means it is now too big for me and I am looking to downsize.”
