The Property
A wooden sign bearing the property's name is found beneath a large Weeping Willow next to a gate that gives way to a sweeping drive bringing one to the impressive Woodton Grange. Pushing open the front door brings one into a light entrance hall with the stairs straight in front and doors to the drawing room and dining room on either side. A charming open fireplace provides a focal point to the generous drawing room which is flooded with natural light from the dual aspect. A door leads through to a rear hall where a cloakroom, access into the larder, and a well-proportioned garden room with French doors into the walled garden, can be found. The dining room enjoys views into the pretty front gardens and is another generous reception room with open fireplace and an original ceiling beam running through it. A quaint study links the dining room through to an enchanting conservatory which opens out onto the patio and also leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room. Cream units line one end of the vast kitchen, with the cherry red Aga drawing ones eye and separating the kitchen from the breakfast room. Doors lead off to the large walk-in larder, cloakroom, utility room, and wrapping round through to the study and dining room. Climbing the staircase brings one to the long landing with the master on the far side at the front of the house and enjoying a dual aspect, walk-in dressing room with access up to the vast attic room, and fitted wardrobes. A generous guest bedroom with stunning exposed beams is also found at the front of house, enjoying views into the pretty gardens and across fields. Tucked behind the master is a third bedroom which benefits from a hand basin and views across the rear gardens. The spacious third bedroom is found at the far end of the long landing which also services two further bedrooms, an elegant bathroom and a further shower room before leading into the annexe at the far end. Stepping up into the annexe brings one straight into what could be a private sitting room, before leading through to a well-proportioned bedroom found opposite the bathroom. A compact kitchen can be found beyond the bedroom and concludes the potential annexe space. The final bedroom is at the front of the property and is wonderfully charming, with original beams and fitted wardrobes. This delightful room is found at the top of a second stair case and a characterful landing with a useful storage cupboard which completes the accommodation.
Outside
One approaches the property from a long drive lined with mature trees and daffodils which leads round to the rear of the property. Woodton Grange sits in a mature plot of approximately 2 acres sts, which is largely laid to lawn with a great variety of mature trees, shrubbery and a number of well-established fruit trees which allows the property to enjoy a great deal of privacy. A well-establish vegetable plot is protected by mature box hedging which sits next to the pristine tennis court. Walking round to the side of the property, one comes across a private walled garden with mature hedging and sweeping arches giving way to further manicured gardens. Wrapping round to the front, a variety of shrubs and plants can be found in well laid out beds providing colour all year round. At the front of the property, wrought iron gates give way to a neat gravelled drive and turning area which is found besides a pretty patio area leading out from the conservatory. Mature Roses climb the pergola which runs along an old red brick wall which frames the garden beautifully and provides privacy and charm.
