Woodpeckers exudes a blend of traditional charm and contemporary elegance seamlessly integrated into its design and styling. The current owners have spared no expense in implementing a comprehensive extension and renovation program throughout their ownership, ensuring Woodpeckers is presented in impeccable condition.
From the beautiful Oak frame porch, the spacious entrance hall provides direct access to the principal reception rooms. Overlooking the front garden, the study and dining room offer serene views of the surroundings. Positioned to capture the beauty of the grounds and the southerly orientation, the sitting room at the rear provides a bright and spacious sanctuary for relaxation. A standout feature is the expansive kitchen/dining/family room, serving as the heart of the home with built in speakers in the kitchen, dining and outside areas. The kitchen units are bespoke and hand made with a Seimens American Fridge/ Freezer, Miele wine fridge, AEG integrated fridge and freezer and Smeg cooker and integrated combination oven/ microwave. With three sets of doors leading out to the terrace, this space seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living, ideal for enjoying the warmer months. Adjacent to the kitchen is the cinema room, while completing the ground floor amenities are a utility room and cloakroom. It is worth noting solid maple wood floors throughout a large portion of the ground floor.
Ascending to the first floor there is a spacious landing with seating area. The principal bedroom boasts rear aspect views, a dressing room designed and built by Luke Jones Furniture, and a spacious en-suite with bath, separate double shower and double sinks. Accessible via the dressing room, stairs lead to a versatile loft room currently utilised as a pilates/ exercise space but could equally be used as a second office/ studio. Two additional double bedrooms enjoy en-suite facilities, alongside two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Externally, Woodpeckers is approached along a desirable private road lined with trees and similar substantial properties, yet enjoys the advantage of optimal plot orientation and size.
