Positioned within generous landscaped grounds and surrounded by mature trees and established hedgerows, once forming part of the historic Woodhead Hall Estate, this refined modern country home offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space and countryside living, whilst remaining conveniently located for local amenities, schools and transport links.
A sweeping private driveway leads to the property, providing extensive parking, turning space and access to a detached double garage. The impressive façade, featuring stone quoins, decorative window lintels and a pillared storm porch with balcony above, creates a striking first impression.

At the heart of the home is a stunning handcrafted kitchen featuring a central island and flowing seamlessly into a spacious garden room overlooking the gardens. Designed for modern living, this exceptional space is ideal for family gatherings, relaxed evenings and entertaining guests. Leading directly from the kitchen is a generous utility room offering excellent storage and practicality, together with a conveniently positioned WC providing easy access from the garden.
Double doors from the reception hall lead through to an elegant dining room, creating the perfect setting for hosting family celebrations and entertaining friends. The substantial sitting room is centred around a feature marble fireplace with a log-burning stove, providing a warm and welcoming focal point for cosy evenings. With working from home now a part of modern life, the generous home office offers an ideal balance of privacy and accessibility. A spacious and beautifully presented cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Luxurious Bedroom Accommodation
The first floor provides exceptional bedroom accommodation. The impressive principal suite, which also lends itself perfectly as a luxurious guest suite, spans the full length of the property and features a dedicated sitting area with feature fireplace, fitted dressing area and a beautifully appointed four-piece en-suite bathroom finished with contemporary black fittings.
Bedroom two benefits from its own generous en-suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower. Bedroom three enjoys Jack-and-Jill access to the substantial family bathroom, complete with a centrally positioned freestanding bath, whilst double doors open onto a charming Juliet balcony.
The second floor continues the theme of generous accommodation, offering two further substantial double bedrooms and an additional family bathroom, making it ideal for larger families, guests or multi-generational living.

If there is any point which is of particular interest to you, please obtain professional confirmation. Alternatively, we will be pleased to check the information for you. These particulars do not constitute a contract or part of a contract. All measurements quoted are approximate. Photographs are reproduced for general information, and it cannot be inferred that any item shown is included in the sale.
These property particulars are issued in good faith but do not form part of any offer or contract. All descriptions, floorplans, photographs and other information are provided as a guide only and may not be exact. Buyers are advised to verify key facts such as tenure, planning permissions, fixtures and fittings, lease length, ground rent, service charges, council tax bands and energy performance ratings through their legal representative.
This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.
As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed. This work, which can typically take several weeks in a standard transaction, is prepared upfront and made available to the successful buyer as part of their legal due diligence.
To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase.
In addition, and in line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These checks are payable separately and are required before the transaction can progress.
This upfront approach helps:
• Reduce delays once an offer is agreed
• Improve transparency for all parties
• Support a smoother and more reliable sales process
