SELLER INSIGHT

North Woodley is an exceptional, sought after, location. Close to a wealth of excellent amenities, transport links, together with a choice of first rate schools, sport and leisure facilities. Set along this road containing a mix of other established properties stands this truly magnificent property which has been the much loved family home for its present owner for the past thirty six years.

The owner and her husband were hunting for a three bedroom detached property but were drawn to what was, at that time, a two bedroom dorma bungalow. Being set on sizeable plot of land, with its potential to increase and develop the property was a huge attraction, as was its location, along this road. Utilising skills and expertise of friends and family, alongside other professionals, the original bungalow has had three major projects over the years to increase and enhance the property into what is now this exceptional, spacious family home, one containing so many innovations. Not a stone has been left unturned for the original property to become this contemporary styled family home with such as brilliant, flexible, practical, layout, overflowing with comforts and luxuries. As with many homes, the hub of home life is the kitchen, but this home has the added delight of its indoor swimming pool being in this area. It is the ultimate entertaining space, more especially with its bifold doors opening out onto the spacious patio. So many social gatherings have taken place here throughout the years and the house with its glorious garden are popular with friends and family.

Another attraction of the property was the space to develop this wonderful garden. The owner often remarks that the only things she did not plant were its four oak trees! Mainly laid to lawn bordered by established herbaceous planting, together with its attractive water feature containing specimen koi carp. The owner’s husband designed and constructed a metal gazebo over the pond, providing a delightful seating area; so special on quiet sunny days. There is also a productive vegetable plot at the end of the garden, plus a specialised workshop in which the gazebo was created.

There is so much to adore living in this special house with every convenience close at hand from open spaces, good restaurants, and pubs, all providing an outstanding quality of life. It is a home yearning for a new family to enjoy and experience life here in this idyllic location.”*
