Description

Woodlands is a well-proportioned detached family home with additional accommodation and extensive grounds. It provides attractive living space with a flexible layout, while outside there is a splendid south-facing garden with meadows and paddocks beyond.

The welcoming reception hall, with wooden floors and bi-fold doors, leads to the sitting room, creating an open and airy feel to the ground floor. The sitting room itself is generous, measuring approx. 26ft across and featuring a central, double-sided fireplace with a log burner, which divides the main sitting area from the conservatory-style seating and dining area at the rear. Two sets of sliding glass doors open directly on to the rear garden, welcoming plenty of natural light to the space. Also on the ground floor is a private study and a large, open kitchen and dining room with plenty of storage in fitted units, as well as a range cooker. The adjoining utility room is ideal for further storage and appliances.

Upstairs, the open landing area leads to five double bedrooms, one of which is ideal for use as a dressing room and another as a study, which opens to the sunny balcony overlooking the rear gardens. The principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony affording splendid views, as well as built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. One further bedroom has an en suite bathroom, while another has its own shower room.

The self-contained annexe is ideal for use as guest accommodation or for family members. It includes over 600 square feet of well-presented living space, with an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, a sunny conservatory, two bedrooms and a shower room.

At the front of the property, the block-paved driveway provides ample parking, as well as leading to the wrought-iron double gates, which open to further parking space at the rear of the house and the annexe at the side. There is a garage at the front of the house, and a second garage at the rear.

The garden is mostly to the rear and enjoys a south-facing aspect, welcoming plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It includes a patio area and a well-maintained lawn with herbaceous border beds featuring lavender and various other flowering perennials. The annexe also has its own patio and garden, and beyond the garden there is a peaceful pond, grassy meadow and large open paddock which is ideal for grazing livestock.

In addition, the grounds include three log cabins, each offering self-contained accommodation. The layout of the cabins includes two bedrooms, a kitchen area, and a spacious living/dining room. Two cabins have en suites and the other has a family shower room. These cabins are ideal for guest stays or holiday lets, all set within the tranquil surroundings of the property’s extensive land.
