Property description
Forest View is a fabulous, detached, family home arranged over four floors with a total living area of about 1900 sq ft. There are four extremely good double bedrooms all of which have the advantage of their own luxurious ensuite. The large entrance hall with ceramic tiled floor is accessible at ground floor level with staircases leading up and down to the different levels and leads to a truly impressive family room/kitchen which, in 2013, was re-modelled and refitted with an excellent range of cabinetry supplied by Lacewood Designs of Salisbury. From the family room area double glazed French doors lead directly on to a huge south facing veranda, suitable for outdoor living/entertaining, which is fully enclosed and overlooks Boys Meadow Withybed Forest.
The veranda is enclosed with polished steel and glass rails and a solid oak external staircase leads down to a small south facing fully enclosed garden which can also be accessed from the lower ground floor living room. There is also a spacious cloakroom with an abundance of storage located off the main entrance hall.
At garden level, the lower ground floor offers an amazing, versatile space presently in use as a living/dining room, utility room and a bedroom with ensuite - the whole of this lower ground floor area would easily adapt for use as a studio style flat or apartment/granny annexe as it has its own external access in addition to an internal staircase leading down from the ground floor.
The double aspect master bedroom is located on the first floor to the rear of the house with a large luxurious ensuite, an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and woodland views. The second bedroom, also has fitted wardrobe cupboards and its own ensuite with clawed foot free standing bath. The guest bedroom, an impressive 15ft 11 x 15ft 4, with storage and a full ensuite, is located on the top floor.

The two lower levels have a combination of light oak laminate flooring and ceramic tiles, the remainder of the property i.e. bedrooms and staircases are fully carpeted. The accommodation is spacious and versatile and whilst the outside space is not large, it is south facing and befits from a pleasing outlook. There is a private drive for off road parking to the front of the property with a side access giving access to the rear by a private gate. Please note that Forest View offers surprisingly large living space and large amounts of storage - only by viewing this impressive house internally can you truly appreciate what is being offered.
