Exceptional five bedroom family home within 0.3 miles of Banstead village with a swimming pool and double garage with studio accommodation.
Woodpeckers Hollow is located on the edge of Banstead village, yet enjoying a wonderfully private setting with far reaching views. The property comprises an impressive five bedroom family home, a detached double garage with a first floor studio.
The house has been in the same ownership for over 18 years and has been meticulously renovated and extended during that time, resulting in a beautifully presented and thoughtfully arranged family home.
The property is approached via a block paved carriage driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles. The detached double garage is positioned further along the lane, offering additional parking and versatility. The garage itself is well equipped with electric roller doors, power, heating and water, with stairs rising to a first floor studio incorporating a kitchenette and cloakroom. Subject to the necessary planning consents, this building offers excellent potential to be repurposed as a self contained annexe or separate dwelling.
The house benefits from double glazed leaded light windows throughout and is positioned to take full advantage of its most striking feature, the exceptional views over the surrounding gardens and land.
The spacious entrance hall, laid with Amtico herringbone flooring, sets the tone for the well proportioned accommodation, flowing seamlessly into the principal reception rooms. The elegant sitting room features high ceilings with decorative coving and a stone fireplace with wood-burning stove, with double doors opening through to the breakfast room.
The dining room, also with a feature fireplace, connects to a well appointed study, offering an ideal work from home space.
To the rear of the house lies the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, a superbly light and airy space with high ceilings and rooflights. The kitchen enjoys delightful views over the garden, swimming pool and paddocks beyond, and is fitted with an extensive range of solid oak cabinetry complemented by granite worktops and tiled flooring. The adjoining breakfast area features another fireplace with wood-burning stove and opens directly onto the garden terrace, ideal for indoor outdoor living.
The family room enjoys a double aspect and features an attractive inglenook fireplace, wood-effect flooring and doors opening onto the garden, creating a warm and inviting space. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor provides four generous double bedrooms, all benefitting from en suite facilities. The second floor offers a further bedroom suite with eaves storage and a private bathroom, ideal for guests or an older child.
Externally, the gardens are principally laid to lawn with a substantial patio terrace, perfectly suited for entertaining. The outdoor swimming pool is enclosed and heated via a gas boiler located in the pump room.
