Description

Occupying a generous plot on this highly sought after private Woodhill Estate, this delightful family home was built in about 1920 by renowned local builders, Y J Lovell. The property has been improved and extended by the current owners to include a superb extension to the rear with expanses of glass to enjoy views over the landscaped garden.

On the ground floor the layout is well suited to the demands of family life and entertaining, with a choice of formal and informal reception rooms. The reception hall is generous with a corner nook ideal for a library/snug area. The fantastic open plan kitchen/dining/family room overlooks the garden to the rear with glass to glass corner windows and bi-fold doors opening on to the outside terrace creating a perfect indoor/outdoor entertaining space. The kitchen is bespoke designed by Tom Howley providing an excellent array of built-in cabinetry complemented by Quartz worktops and integrated appliances. A large central island incorporates a breakfast bar. The space is perfect for family life, arranged into distinct areas with places to sit, chat and dine. Further reception space includes a formal dining room and a TV room which would also work well as a study. A fully fitted utility room/secondary kitchen and a guest cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The bedroom accommodation on the first floor is generous with four bedrooms and a study which could be rearranged as an additional bedroom or converted into an en suite. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden and benefits from built-in cupboards including a walk-in wardrobe alongside an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The loft is of excellent proportions and offers potential for creating additional accommodation, subject to the usual consents.

The property is situated on a private, generous plot approached over an electric gated driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to a double garage with stairs to a boarded storage area above. The attractively landscaped garden to the rear is a real feature, with a variety of specimen trees and plants bordering the garden providing excellent screening.
