Property description
Majestically set back in its own gated landscaped plot, an individual 4 double bedroom detached house notable for its dimensions, standard of presentation, South Westerly rear aspect and location in one of the village's premier roads.
Description
Woodcrest has markedly well proportioned accommodation lending itself to both family and entertaining use, having been cleverly and harmoniously enlarged by the present owners since it was built in 1981 by Newing & Webb, well known local builders of the era. The relationship of the two fine main reception rooms, conservatory and family kitchen is particularly worthy of note. The sunny aspected terrace and rear garden are directly accessible from three sets of French doors and feature an octagonal summerhouse and serpentine walkway. Internally, there is an abundance of downlighting particularly to the reception area and main bedrooms, wiring for smart TVs and multi media including Ethernet cabling, majority coved ceilings and panelled internal doors. Comfort and maintenance considerations are complemented by uPVC double glazing fanlight style windows, uPVC roofline products, cavity wall insulation and a gas heating system with radiators and the bedrooms and conservatory being served by individual thermostatic controls. The accommodation is centred upon an oak floored reception hall and naturally lit, triple galleried landing.
