Woodlands House

The house is remarkably unspoilt and will benefit from some updating, but provides excellent extensive family accommodation, with scope to extend into the roof space if desired, subject to the necessary consents. The house is rendered under a clay tiled roof, with cast-iron rainwater goods and decorative timberwork to the gables. The property's original features include stone mullion leaded light windows with secondary glazing, original panelled doors with brass door furniture, cornices, panelling and oak and quarry tile floors.

Double oak panelled front doors open to a porch with a door to the reception hall/sitting room with a dressed stone fireplace with a multi-fuel burner and panelled and carved overmantle, and a wide oak main staircase with understair storage and also incorporating the study. French doors lead to the south-facing garden room, also accessed from the dining and drawing room, which takes full effect of the views and gives access to the patio and garden with double sliding doors. There is a large cloakroom with a separate panelled WC. The drawing room has a south-facing stone mullion bay, with a fireplace with marble and carved pine surround. The dining room has a south-facing stone mullion bay window and dressed stone fireplace. A lovely period detail is the butler's china pantry with built-in cupboards and wall cabinets, a stainless steel sink and a walk-in pantry. A passage leads to a second staircase with a door to the outside and an understairs second cloakroom. The kitchen with breakfast room has a quarry tile floor, a four oven Aga, a range of kitchen cupboards and drawers, a double bowl sink, LP gas four ring hob, oven and grill, microwave, extractor and exposed brickwork. The breakfast room area has a door to the outside, a corner cupboard and a bench seat. Accessed from an outside door is the boiler
house housing an oil-fired boiler.

The staircases rise to the first-floor landing, with an airing cupboard, luggage box room and WC. There is a passage off with a built-in cupboard, a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and a back staircase. The principal bedroom enjoys the view from the south-facing bay window. This attractive room has a stone fireplace and a bedhead recess with cupboards to either side. There is a large part tiled en suite bathroom with a panelled bath, WC, bidet and twin basins with cupboards under. Double bedroom two
has a south-facing view, currently used as a study with a built-in desk under the window, dressed stone fireplace and a walk-in closet and basin. Double bedroom three is also south-facing and has a fitted wardrobe, a basin and a stone fireplace. The large family bathroom has a bath, basin and WC. Double bedrooms four and five both have basins, and there is a further bathroom with a panelled bath and a tiled shower with a skylight. Bedroom six has a basin and a corner stone fireplace.

The property is approached by a shared tarmac driveway to a five-bar gate to private tarmac turning circle, and parking with a central heather and evergreen rockery with mature shrub borders. The detached double garage has an up-and-over door. A tarmac path with a wrought iron hand gate leads to the main garden with lawns, an expansive paved patio with a lavender border, and rose and shrub beds. There is a secure garden store, rose pergola, soft fruit cages and an ornate wrought iron pair of gates to the woodland. The south garden is lawned in terraces, screened by close-boarded fences, hedges, and park railings, with rockery beds, evergreen, rose, herbaceous beds, fine cedar and beech trees and a summer house. The tennis lawn also enjoys tremendous views.

Beyond is a belt of magnificent traditional ancient woodland with glades and woodland flowers, fine lime, Scots pine, larch, beech and oak trees. The woodland leads down with frontage to Wasperton Lane. The unspoilt woodland is a haven for wildlife, birds and woodland plants.
