A rare opportunity to acquire this magnificent six bedroom family home with a carriage driveway complete with a separate secret garden and studio house, that has potential for development.

Description

One of the earliest houses to be built on the previous Woodfield Estate, this stunning detached family home is in commanding position. Set back from the road behind a mature, landscaped front garden, with an in and out carriageway driveway.

This refined house offers a wealth of natural light and has a host of original Arts and Crafts features. Upon entering the front door you are welcomed into the part panelled and parquet floored entrance hall and cloakroom.
The ground floor comprises two large formal rooms off the central hallway, an elegant drawing room and separate dining room, which leads to a hidden-away study.

Moving towards the more contemporary rear of the house, there is a fabulous open plan kitchen/ dining/ living room, flooded with natural light by virtue of a wall of bi-fold garden doors and large skylights. Set up for normal family living, it can easily be converted into a large dining space.

The kitchen has a large purpose built curved island, to allow for the perfect entertaining space. It is also fitted with double ovens, warming drawers, wine fridge and a gas top cooker. Additionally, there is an adjoining standalone larder. The area also allows space for a dining table and a living room set up.

To finish the ground floor has a good sized gym/additional TV room which opens out on to the garden and has access to the garage, with attic storage. At the rear of the kitchen there is a utility/laundry room, coat and boot room, double shower/steam room/WC, which are accessible by separate entrances from the front and rear garden.

Illuminated by the attic skylight, the glorious stairwell and first floor landing are flooded with natural light. On the first floor there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, one with a curved bay window, and two family sized bathrooms with separate showers, washbasins and WCs.

The top floor provides the principal suite, topped by a beamed, vaulted ceiling, with double aspect light, including a balcony for views over the garden. It is furnished with four inbuilt wardrobes and a very large hidden storage room.

The spectacular mature garden, which is equal to the width of the house, is laid to a generous and versatile lawn, bordered by an extensive pergola covered by an abundant wisteria. There is a substantial patio with multiple entertaining areas, which is perfect for outdoor dining.

Behind the end fence is a separate "secret garden", complete with an immaculate garden house which is currently used as a yoga studio. The plot is 480m2, has its own separate title deed/ postal address (5 Woodfield Lane) and is accessible to vehicles from Woodfield Avenue via double gates to a parking space. There is potential to extend the garden house or build a separate 4 bed home and/ or install a large swimming pool (STPP).
