Woodlands forms a substantial, detached family home within the gated development known as Mayfield Grange. The development is rather exclusive, in a tucked away spot with electric gates and enjoys several acres of communal grounds, including landscaped gardens and seating areas, as well as a gym, and direct access to footpaths into the surrounding countryside.
The house itself enjoys modern, contemporary accommodation, as it was the show house for the development in 2008, to comprise five bedrooms, five en-suites and a family bathroom across the top two floors, wide landing and hallway, plus a cloakroom, study, sitting room open to the dining room, kitchen and utility room to the ground floor. There is also private parking for three cars, plus an integral garage and an electric car charging point.
The property is considered to have the best sized garden amongst the houses, being part walled and part hedge enclosed with a large expanse of paved patio by the house, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
One enters into the hallway, via a covered porch, into an entrance hall, with wood flooring, under floor heating and windows to front. Stairs lead up to the first floor, and doors lead into the kitchen, sitting room, study and cloakroom.
The study is a compact room with fitted shelving and furniture, plus a window to side. The cloakroom opposite comprises a WC, basin and window to side.
The sitting room is a long room, with matching wooden flooring and under floor heating, a fireplace and window to front and a unique, floor to ceiling glass cut out to the garden, plus a further window to rear, and a large opening into the dining room, which has a window and French doors to the rear garden and paved patio.
A door leads back into the kitchen, which is a good-sized, bright room, with windows to front and side, comprising a range of white gloss units, and wood-effect gloss units, beneath white corian worktops and a matching breakfast bar. There is an inset sink, and five burner Smeg gas hob, Miele ovens/grill, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is a further array of tall units along the wall leading to the utility room.
The utility room comprises cupboards and worktops, with an inset sink, space for washing machine and tumble drier, window and door to the rear garden, plus a further door to the integral garage.
The garage is a good size, and has an electric up and over vehicular door to the front drive, plus a wall mounted boiler and potential storage space in the roof space.
Stairs lead up to the first floor landing, with a window to front, further stairs leading to the second floor, and access to the airing cupboard and four of the bedrooms.
The four bedrooms on the first floor are all doubles. The largest room has fitted wardrobes, and a window to front, a door to an en-suite bathroom, comprising a bath with shower over, wall mounted WC, basin, grey tiled floor and part tiled walls with a window to front and heated towel rail and under floor heating.
There are two rear facing bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms comprising tiled shower cubicles, wall mounted WCs, basins, tiled walls, floors with under floor heating and heated towel rails. One of the bedrooms is currently used as an extra TV room.
A further double bedroom enjoys a window to front and a deep-sill window and seat to the side, and an en-suite bathroom, comprising a bath, wall mounted WC, basin, part tiled walls, tiled floor with under floor heating, heated towel rail and a window to front.
The top floor provides a wonderful master bedroom suite, with a main room with space for the bed, a dressing room area with fitted shelving and hanging spaces, and a large, modernised en-suite, comprising a modern, free-standing bath, a walk-in shower with glass shower screen, WC, basin atop a floating cupboard, part tiled walls and mirror, window to side, heated towel rail and under floor heating.
Outside, to the front is an area of paved and resin parking, with two raised planters housing olive trees and the path to the front door. A path leads to the side of the house to the rear garden.
The rear garden has a very large patio area across the rear of the house, coupled with a small area of decking, all accessed via the rear doors from the dining room and the utility room and ideal for entertaining and alfresco dining.
The lawn stretches away from the patio, down to a detached, insulated outbuilding, forming a very useful studio/games room/home office, and an adjacent bike and garden store. The rear garden is wall, hedge and fence enclosed, with a gate onto woodland from the end of the garden.
The gardens and grounds are extensive and are beautifully maintained with a formal area of sunken garden, pathways and far-reaching views. There is a gym for the use of the residents and a former cricket pitch. There are also 2 areas of woodland and an extensive choice of footpaths nearby giving access to walks in the surrounding countryside.
