Silkwood is a private hidden gem of a home, tucked away from busy roads and enjoying gorgeous woodland views and across to the idyllic village of Box, and a high chance of spotting some of the resident wildlife - the vendors regularly see swifts, buzzards, kites, swallows and deer. An array of woodland walks on the doorstep make this property a paradise for explorers, dog walkers and nature lovers alike.
Offering over 1400 sq.ft of excellent accommodation and storage, every room in the property enjoys a dual or triple aspect offering plenty of natural light and opportunity to enjoy the glorious woodland surroundings. The ground floor comprises entrance hall, 21ft kitchen/diner, 21ft living room, utility room, and downstairs wc, along with a good sized garage and a covered storage area. The first floor has four double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with shower over the bath. The internal decoration would benefit from an update.
Externally there are various areas to enjoy, including a terraced garden laid to York flagstones with beautiful dry stone wall and top tier decking. The terrace accessible from bedroom 4 enjoys sunshine all day throughout the summer.
There is potential, subject to planning permission, to extend the ground floor accommodation into the garage, as well as building above it.
The thriving village of Box - with a strong community spirit, and an array of amenities that include two shops - Londis & Budgens, post office & store, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, hairdressers, well regarded primary school, library, recreation area, two delightful cafés, takeaway, gym, fitness classes and a choice of popular public houses.
