Description

Part of our Signature collection, this impressive detached home is nestled in a secluded position and has been updated by the current owners to offer contemporary family accommodation, including a self-contained annexe.

Woodlands is accessed via a long private gated drive and set in beautiful established grounds which extend to 2.1 acres, with a formal landscaped garden, extensive woodland and an outdoor heated swimming pool.

This impressive country home has been fully upgraded throughout and finished to a high specification throughout, located in the sought-after village of Great Totham.

The front door opens into the central entrance hall, leading to all of the spacious principal rooms, including a well-proportioned sitting room with an inset log burner and a wonderful outlook over the grounds. The formal dining room is a fantastic entertaining space with dual aspect windows allowing an abundance of natural light.

The modern kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with quality integrated appliances, a range of wall and base units with cupboards and drawers, and granite worktop incorporated into a breakfast bar. The ground floor accommodation concludes with a separate study and cloakroom.

The first floor landing gives access to four of the five bedrooms and family bathroom. The principal suite is a good size bedroom with built-in wardrobes and ensuite bathroom facilities. The fifth bedroom is reached via a walk-in dressing room but has the potential to be opened into one large room. The first floor is completed by a family bathroom with a separate w/c.

Outside
The property is approached along a private gravelled driveway which leads to a secluded parking area and single garage with roller door. The attractive front garden is bordered by mature hedging and trees, with a variety of flowers and shrubs.

To the side of Woodlands is a heated swimming pool along with a newly constructed garden room, incorporating a kitchen area, changing facilities with w/c and shower and a separate room to house the energy-efficient air source heating system for the pool.

The extensive grounds measure approx. 2.1 acres and the rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with the remainder comprising mature woodland.
