Woodland House is a prominent and eye-catching Art Deco 1930s house. The current owners have significantly remodelled, extended and renovated the house so that it now offers exceptionally well-presented accommodation that is light and airy and has excellent entertaining space inside and out. It has been thoughtfully decorated to compliment the 1930s style of the house.
The entrance hall has a long hallway extending to glass French doors opening to the rear garden, and the floor is finished with eye-catching Art Deco style floor tiles that extend into the snug/music room.
The large triple-aspect drawing room has two sets of French doors. The dining room has a feature stone fireplace surround and French doors open to the swimming pool complex. Adjacent is a garden room/ gym that opens to the swimming pool and has French doors to the rear terrace. The study has fitted office furniture that overlooks the garden and there is a games room with a bar.
The fitted kitchen is designed to offer easy catering when entertaining large numbers. It includes a breakfast island with granite worktops and a superb range of integrated appliances, including two electric ovens, two gas hobs, two dishwashers, a fridge, a freezer and a wine cooler. Off the kitchen is a large fitted utility room with a Belfast sink, granite worktops, and additional integrated appliances. It leads through to a small boot room area with a door to the fitted laundry room with space for other laundry appliances.
Double-glazed doors open from the kitchen to a beautiful glass-enclosed summer kitchen terrace with two sliding doors open to the garden. It includes a flue for a fire pit, a barbecue cooking area, a pizza oven and a seating area.
The ornately designed indoor swimming pool complex with a retractable projector screen and projector, so it cleverly doubles as a cinema room. The heated swimming pool has an electric retractable cover, Fluvo counter-current system and two sets of glazed French doors open to the garden and terrace in addition to picture windows. There is a kitchenette area and a changing room with shower facilities.
A turning staircase leads to the first and second floors. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, served by a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower. There is also the principal bedroom, a dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes, walk-in wardrobe with fitted shelving, an en suite shower room, and a glazed door that opens to a large roof terrace.
A glazed glass door on the second-floor landing opens to a balcony, which can also be directly accessed from all three double bedrooms on this floor that are served by a family shower room.
Outside
The grounds of Woodland House have been comprehensively landscaped.
Electric gates open to paved parking at the front of the house set around a turning circle, at the centre of which is a fountain with automated feature lighting. There is also a detached garage and an eye-catching pergola over a raised tiled seating area.
Secondary access off New Wood Lane extends along the eastern boundary of the gardens to the rear garaging, with glazed bi-fold doors and stabling that can also be utilised as garden storage.
The rear private lawned gardens and paved terrace are south-facing, allowing the all-day sunshine to be enjoyed. They have been beautifully landscaped to include strategically positioned mature borders of evergreen and perennial plants, a meandering shingle path around the edge of the lawn, a pergola with climbers and a rill leading to a waterfall and feature carp pond that is surrounded by a rockery garden.
Intersecting the house and gardens from the paddock, enclosed by post and rail fencing and accessed off New Wood Lane, is a bridle track offering excellent outriding.
