Tucked away from the road and screened by established trees, Woodland Grove enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting within approximately an acre (STMS) of beautiful gardens and woodland. From the moment you arrive, there is a real sense of privacy and escape – a home where mornings can begin with coffee overlooking the garden, summer evenings can be spent entertaining on the patio and children have space to explore and enjoy the outdoors.

Lovingly restored and thoughtfully reimagined, this impressive home combines the warmth and character of an older property with the space, light and practicality of modern family living. Original features have been carefully retained, including the charming walk-in pantry with its traditional cold shelf and built-in cupboards, while a comprehensive programme of renovation and extension has created a home designed for the way families live today.

Step inside and a spacious, light-filled entrance hall immediately creates a welcoming first impression. The inviting sitting room provides a wonderful space to retreat and relax, with a character fireplace creating an attractive focal point and double doors framing views across the gardens.

At the heart of the home is the spectacular kitchen/family room – a space designed for everyday family life as much as entertaining. Exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling add character and a wonderful sense of space, while doors open directly onto the paved patio, allowing life to flow effortlessly outside during the warmer months.

The flexibility of the accommodation is another real advantage. Three ground-floor rooms are currently used as bedrooms but could equally provide a formal dining room, home office, playroom or dressing room, allowing the house to adapt as family needs change. A beautifully styled heritage-inspired bathroom, complete with double-ended bath and generous walk-in shower, completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the impressive main bedroom extends to approximately 20 feet and benefits from its own stylish en-suite shower room. Two further versatile rooms and a separate WC provide additional space for family, guests, hobbies or working from home.

Outside is where Woodland Grove truly comes into its own. Set within approximately an acre (STMS), the combination of landscaped gardens and established woodland creates a wonderful sense of privacy and connection with nature. The generous screened frontage and extensive driveway provide ample parking, while the gardens offer space for entertaining, relaxing and simply enjoying the changing seasons.

Pond/Pool & Pool House & Entertainment Area

Stepping outside, you are met with breathtakingly landscaped gardens and sweeping lawns that create an idyllic backdrop for outdoor living. The current owner has adapted the pool to a fish pond with filter system. It could however be reinstated to a pool. The pool house still retains equipment/covers and air source heat pump. The pool house is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a separate W.C., an outdoor hot shower, and atmospheric lighting, ensuring effortless hosting in this beautiful garden.

Outbuildings

The property also includes a large outbuilding with a garage, the outbuilding includes an outside kitchen butler sink with an adjacent room with plenty of storage for garden tools and shelving plus an ideal log storage area, it offers an exciting potential for a conversion into an annexe (STPP).

The property underwent a comprehensive restoration and extension approximately ten years ago, including a new roof, double-glazed windows, central heating and rewiring, and also benefits from fibre broadband.

For buyers looking for more than simply a house, Woodland Grove offers the opportunity to enjoy space, privacy and a genuine countryside lifestyle in a home with character at its heart.
