Owned from New and Lovingly Maintained by the Same Family for 38 Years
Tucked back from the road, and wonderfully screened by mature trees and hedging, this home enjoys a secluded setting within 1⁄2 acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, and is just a short distance from the heart of Long Stratton. The opening of the new bypass further enhances the property's location, providing a fantastic benefit to both local residents and commuters.
This individually designed four-bedroom detached home offers the perfect balance of country living and modern convenience. Testament to which, the property has been owned and lovingly maintained by the same family since its construction 38 years ago.
On approach, the driveway brings you around to the front of the property, where there is ample space to park, in addition to the over-sized double garage.
Stepping inside, you find a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, with staircase leading up to the galleried landing. To your left is a generous dual aspect living room – bright and airy with glazed sliding doors to the garden terrace, and featuring an inset wood-burner for those cosy evenings. Double doors open through to the formal dining room, which has lovely views over the rear garden. A separate home office/study is a real bonus – perfect for those who work from home, but would serve equally well as a playroom, hobby space or even a fifth bedroom – the choice is yours. Adjacent is a cloakroom/W.C.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the fabulous kitchen/breakfast room, with an oak-framed extension offering delightful views over the garden; the perfect spot from which to enjoy a coffee and your morning read. This is complemented by handmade, solid wood cabinets in the kitchen and separate utility room, which are not only practical but add warmth and charm.
Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged off the spacious galleried landing. The principle bedroom has the benefit of a modern en-suite shower room, and the accommodation is completed by the family bathroom.
The substantial rear garden is a true highlight - carefully curated with a wide variety of established trees and shrubs including Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Scots pine, Horse chestnut, Ash, Silver birch and Yew. Originally designed by Bob Flowerdew of BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time, the outdoor space offers a peaceful, low-maintenance haven with a small vegetable patch, pond and year-round interest.
We could not conclude without telling you about recent energy efficiency upgrades. Woodlands now benefits from a highly efficient heat pump electric central heating system under warranty and a large solar panel array provide tax free income which exceeds the annual energy costs.
A one-of-a-kind family home with so much to offer - we would love to show you around!
For additional material information, please review the Key Facts for Buyers in the brochure section. There are tree preservation orders (TPO's) in place, and please note that the property has been upgraded since the EPC was commissioned.
