Woodlands is a handsome white-rendered doublefronted period family home offering more than 3,300 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. Configured to provide a practical and cohesive living and entertaining environment featuring sash glazing, high ceilings, generouslyproportioned rooms, quality fixtures and fittings and neutral décor throughout, the accommodation flows from a welcoming gable end front door, through a utility room and kitchen before arriving in the central reception hallway, also accessible by a side entrance. This hallway, with an ornate freestanding woodburner, connects to all other ground floor rooms. Each fitted with feature fireplaces, an expansive drawing room and snug TV room are accompanied by a woodenfloored dining room that connects to a large conservatory with a glazed roof and large picture glazing incorporating French doors to the rear terrace. A generous kitchen comprises a range of wall and base units, an Aga, modern integrated appliances, and space for a sizeable table.

On the first floor, an open landing gives access to all five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom, with fitted storage, features an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath. Four further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.

A separate staircase rises from the landing to a second floor attic room, suitable for a variety of uses including as an additional bedroom if required. This attic room also affords two extended eaves sections for ample loft storage.

In the garden, a recently renovated 822 square foot cottage provides further accommodation. Spread over two floors, its ground floor entails a spacious reception room, conservatory, kitchen and shower room, with a stairway leading to two first floor bedrooms. This building has been used both as a rental property and for entertaining friends and family, with options to access it through the garden, or via a dedicated driveway if seeking privacy.

This property has 1.26 acres of land.

Outside

Woodlands sits behind a front driveway providing plentiful private parking, with this driveway continuing past the house to the detached two-storey cottage, and then a workshop/garage with inter-connecting wood store.

The far-reaching and well-maintained garden has an extended lawn as its centrepiece, bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and mature trees. A tennis court sits towards the rear of the garden, whilst the lawn opens up to the side where a vegetable garden with raised beds and a fruit cage are located. Further lawn wraps around the tennis court, leading to an orchard at the rear of the garden.

Both Woodlands and the cottage feature their own generously paved terraces, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
