WOOD END

Wood End is a superb contempoary family home which has been renovated to a high spec by the current owners to create a modern 4 bedroom family home. The property is set within a ½ acre plot (stm) bordering woodland and open countryside and enjoying far-reaching views.

ACCOMMODATION

Originally built around the 1910s, the property now boasts a contemporary layout, with a range of full height picture windows and sliding doors amalgamating the indoors with the outside. The works completed by the current owners include the new family kitchen and dining area, installation of new double-glazed windows and doors, re-wiring with underfloor heating fitted throughout the ground floor and on the first floor bath/shower rooms. Externally, the property has been enhanced with white render and anthracite grey framed windows.

The property also features a range of outbuildings which include a spruce clad double garage with workshop, and a second building offering an excellent home office and gym/store. The driveway accessed via electric gates leads to a parking area with space for a number of vehicles. The property also has planning permission in place for a two bedroom coachhouse.

Ground Floor

Wood End is entered via an oak front door leading to the spacious and bright reception hallway which benefits from a large picture window framing the countryside beyond. The hallway is laid with large format porcelain floor tiles which continue throughout much of the ground floor. The hall also benefits from bespoke bench seating, cabinetry and shelving. There is further useful storage space in a push latch cupboard with communications cupboard above, and feature oak battens partially conceal the staircase rising to the first floor. To the left of the hallwy is the spacious sitting room with triple aspect views across the surrounding countryside. The sitting room also features a large AGA log burner and oak flooring. Also off the hall is a guest WC and spacious utility room with stainless steel sink, fitted cabinetry, space for freestanding appliances, and an external door.

The south-west section of the house includes an extensive living-dining kitchen, offering the ideal open plan space for modern day living. The contemporary kitchen displays a mix of tall cabinetry and base units in contrasting matt white and dark grey below Silestone quartz worktops, whilst an island provides a useful seating area with a breakfast bar. The island also benefits from having an integrated induction hob with integrated low-level extractor fan. Further integrated appliances include two single self-cleaning ovens, a wine fridge and dishwasher, whilst there is a Fohen instant hot water tap to the sink.

The dining area of this large entertaining space also features a log burner to provide a warm and cozy environment whilst cooking and entertaining in this fabulous space. The three substantial sliding doors provide both access and views out to the garden and Robin Wood beyond, and connect the living space to a large garden terrace, providing indoor/outdoor living.

SELLER INSIGHT

I remember the first time we visited Wood End, we were driving up the single track lane, the house still out of sight and I turned to my wife and said; “we are buying whatever is at the end of this road” – nothing beats the privacy, the views and the space, and we designed the house with exactly that in mind. Normally for a house this secluded, you compromise by being miles away from civilisation, but in this house, we are just a few minutes’ drive to Melbourne, a few fields away from the John Thompson Pub and we feel like the woods belong to us.
