GROUND FLOOR
Entry is via a glazed porch – the perfect practical welcome, offering space for coats and boots before stepping inside. The dining kitchen immediately sets the tone. Generous in proportion, with tiled flooring underfoot and a pleasant front outlook, this is a sociable and inviting space with ample room for a dining table and chairs. A striking chimney breast houses a Rangemaster cooker, framed by cottage-style Shaker cabinetry and solid oak worktops. A ceramic twin sink, integrated dishwasher and space for a tall fridge freezer complete the layout. The tall ceilings and period proportions are instantly evident, adding to the home’s authentic charm. A door leads down to the cellar positioned beneath the kitchen – ideal for additional storage. Flowing nicely from the kitchen is the sitting room, originally the main reception room, centred around an impressive original fireplace and enhanced by the same elegant ceiling height that gives this home its wonderful sense of space. Double doors open into the extended family lounge at the rear, a breathtaking addition that transforms the home. Split-level flooring defines the space, while exposed stone walling, pitched ceilings, Velux windows and exposed beams create a striking architectural feature. Underfloor heating ensures warmth and comfort throughout the family lounge. Bifold doors span the rear elevation, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living and opening onto the raised balcony terrace. This is a beautifully light and airy room, a true family gathering space with views stretching out into the woodland backdrop. A spiral staircase from here leads down to the lower ground floor.

LOWER GROUND FLOOR
The lower level provides exceptional versatility, currently configured as a home study, with a fourth double guest bedroom and a separate bathroom. Whether you require a private guest suite, space for an independent teenager, a home office with separation from the main living areas, or even potential for multi-generational living, this level adapts effortlessly to suit your needs. The study area benefits from direct access to the rear garden and Astroturf terrace, creating an inspiring work-from-home environment with greenery just beyond the door. The bathroom is modern in finish, fitted with a bath and shower over, WC and pedestal sink, complemented by full-height tiling. To the rear are two cellar rooms, so much scope here too, subject to approvals.

FIRST FLOOR
The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, one positioned to the front and one to the rear of the property, both enjoying pleasant outlooks and fitted wardrobes. Completing this level is a stylish four-piece family bathroom. Beautifully tiled in contemporary ceramics, it features a large bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and wall-hung vanity unit. Windows to both the side and rear elevations allow excellent natural light, enhancing the calm and refined atmosphere.

2ND FLOOR
At the top of the house lies the impressive Principal bedroom, a wonderfully private retreat. Enhanced by a dormer extension to the rear, this room perfectly frames the spectacular garden and woodland backdrop beyond. Additional Velux and side windows flood the space with natural light, creating a bright yet tranquil setting. A convenient two-piece WC and sink are already in place, with excellent potential to convert into a full en-suite shower room if desired. A useful storage cupboard completes the space, providing practicality without compromising the room’s serene atmosphere.

OUTSIDE
The approach is wonderfully discreet – a private road serving only a select few properties ensures peace and exclusivity, with private parking for three vehicles to the front. The setting here is truly special. Surrounded by mature woodland, this is the ideal location for those who value privacy, countryside walks and a tranquil lifestyle, whilst remaining exceptionally well connected, with direct footpath access to Adel Woods and the Meanwood Trail just metres from the front door. The rear garden is undoubtedly the standout feature. Set across multiple tiers and stretching impressively in length, it becomes increasingly immersive the further you explore. Mature trees and established planting create depth, texture and a sense of seclusion rarely found – it genuinely feels like owning your own section of woodland. Immediately accessed from the lower ground floor is a practical Astroturf terrace, providing a low-maintenance, child-friendly play area. From the family lounge above, the raised balcony terrace offers an elevated outdoor seating space with stunning views across the garden and the trees beyond – a serene and peaceful vantage point, perfect for a morning coffee or evening relaxation. This is a garden that offers both practicality and magic, ideal for children to explore, dogs to roam, and adults to unwind in total privacy.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
The property was originally constructed with access to the second floor. A previous owner installed the rear dormer extension and provided the current owners with an indemnity insurance policy relating to the absence of building regulation certification. The rainwater from the property is collected into a 5,000 litre tank, buried at the back of the house and then served to a pump tap located in the garden. A unique feature ensuring year round external water supply.
