Woodlands is a double-fronted property offering 4,879 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.

The kitchen is fitted with flagstone flooring, bespoke wall and base units, a large central island, complementary worktops and splashbacks, an Aga, and modern integrated appliances.

The property is approached over a sweeping driveway, via two entrances with electric gates, providing private parking and giving access to the extensive garaging and outbuildings. The most notable has three sets of bi-fold doors to a terrace, and could be used as a games room or home office. Whilst there is also a further detached double garage, and a quadruple tandem garage, fully electric doors on them all, with external steps rising to an annexe with sitting room/kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.

The well-maintained garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to lawn bordered by mature trees.
