This fantastic home dates back to the 1700s and has been much improved by the current owners during their tenure.

The many improvements made include the re-rendering of the exterior and a new pitched roof replacing the flat roof on the front section of the home. The landscaping of the grounds have also been improved, including decked areas to take in the views, a new driveway, electric gates, refurbishment of the Nissen hut and the erection of a 3-bay garage. The inside has been replastered and the kitchen and bathrooms, which have been extremely well-maintained since new, have been refitted.

There has also been installations of a new log-burner, solar thermal panels and photovoltaic panels, and an air source heat pump for the central heating and hot water top up.

The property is approached through an electric gated entrance leading onto a large, gravelled driveway allowing plentiful parking for multiple vehicles.
The driveway accesses two garages, one being a triple bay garage and the other a Nissen hut garage/workshop. The triple garage also houses a workshop, a WC and a utility room.

The wonderful accommodation within includes a stylish kitchen, a living room open plan to the dining room, two double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Outside, the gardens are extremely private and equate to 0.7 acres and include a combination of formal gardens and natural lawned gardens.
Woodleigh is entered through a pleasantly spacious glazed porch, with a stable style part-glazed door accessing the kitchen.
