Woodlands is a spacious country residence completed in 2014, offering open plan accommodation set over two floors, built to an extremely high specification with a 10-year warranty. Partly rendered and attractively clad in Cedarwood, with expansive windows and doors to open seamlessly on to the patio and walled garden and to take the very best of the views.
The accommodation, screened behind and incorporating the magnificent garden wall, linked by double height atrium/roof glazing, is centred on the 42-foot wide kitchen/dining/sitting room with a central fireplace, Cotswold stone tiled floors and beautifully fitted streamlined Bulthaup kitchen and south-facing glazed windows and doors. Useful pantry/wine store. Large utility/second Bulthaup kitchen/boot room with access to the garden.
The ground floor bedroom with sliding doors to the garden, and shower room are well suited for anyone who would want to avoid using the stairs. An oak and glazed staircase rises to the first floor with two further handsome bright bedroom suites with shower room with high quality bathroom fitting and tiling and a fourth bedroom currently used as a dressing room.
The vendors have chosen to contrast the contemporary building and décor with antique traditional furniture to great effect, but the property would also look stunning with contemporary furnishings.
A Certificate of Lawful Development 21/00851/LDP has been issued for the proposed extensions and alterations to the property as shown on the CGI's and proposed floor plans. The plans are for additional accommodation to provide over 5,500 square feet of accommodation with additional en suite bedrooms, sitting room, family room, TV room, study, games room and gym with shower room.
Gardens and grounds
Approached over a parkland lawn with walnut, mulberry and yew with topiary, an in-and-out drive sweeps to the front of the house. There is a double garage.
A real joy of the property is the south sloping walled garden with a water feature with a long rill, lawns, young trees, shrub and herbaceous beds and wide lawns to either side. Extensive paved and gravel patios and seating areas for outside dining. Outbuildings include a greenhouse with underfloor heating, traditionally set against the garden wall with a potting shed, tool store, workshop and machinery store. There is a vegetable garden, soft fruit cages and espalier fruit trees. There is a right of way on foot or for farm vehicles and machinery from the road to the southern boundary of the walled garden.
Woodlands is situated in the unspoilt hamlet of Idlicote, set in undoubtedly some of Warwickshire's prettiest countryside yet ideally situated for easy access to the road network.
