An entrance porch opens into the impressive central reception hall, where a solid wood u-shaped staircase creates a striking introduction to the home. The hall provides access to the principal reception rooms and a conveniently situated cloakroom.

The beautifully proportioned formal lounge enjoys a multi-aspect outlook, with a rear bay window framing views over the patio and gardens. Equally suited to family gatherings or quieter evenings, this inviting room is complemented by a separate bay-fronted dining room, providing an elegant setting for formal entertaining.

A serving hatch connects the dining room to the fitted breakfast kitchen, which benefits from a built-in pantry and access to a separate rear sitting room or snug. Together, these rooms offer flexibility for everyday family life, with scope to enjoy distinct spaces for dining, relaxing and entertaining.

A side entrance lobby provides access to the substantial L-shaped attached garage, featuring two up-and-over doors approached from different directions along the driveway.

The sense of space continues upstairs, where a standout central galleried landing leads to five generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish modern en-suite shower room, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

Mature grounds & extensive parking

The gardens form a particularly appealing feature of Windle House, surrounding the property with established greenery and providing a wonderful setting for family life. A gated driveway offers ample parking for multiple vehicles, with access to the front of the house and the attached garage.

Generous lawns are complemented by mature planted borders, shrubs and trees, while a paved rear patio creates an inviting space for outdoor dining. Steps lead to a further lawned area, with an air raid shelter adding a distinctive point of interest within the grounds.
