An arch leads through to the adjoining dining room, and combined they provide the ideal space for family and entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a comprehensive range of cupboards, an electric AGA and various integral Neff appliances including a double oven, a dishwasher, a fridge and freezer. Completing the ground floor is a utility room with fitted cupboards and space for white goods and separate garden access.

The main bedroom is a lovely room with a Juliet balcony, a dressing room and a modern en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and a separate shower.

    Oakwood is approached via electric double gates with the drive winding around through the trees to the parking to one side of the house and the garaging. The gardens, which adjoin woodland to the rear, are mainly laid to lawn with an array of trees, rhododendrons, azaleas and a pond. There is an outdoor swimming pool with paved surround and a pool house.
