Step into a piece of history with Woodfield, a distinguished property that once graced the grounds of the iconic West Heath House. Originally crafted as a chauffeur’s domain complete with a workshop and living quarters, this intriguing house evolved into a captivating four-bedroom detached sanctuary in the 1950s.
As you turn off Oak Lane, you are led along a private road to the house and are greeted by a manicured lawn alongside a gravel driveway, leading you to ample parking complemented by the double bay garage and a handy storage shed. Nestled in a coveted neighbourhood, Woodfield not only boasts unparalleled charm but also brims with potential.
On the ground floor, three reception spaces await. Two come adorned with fireplaces, with the drawing room's woodburner setting the scene for cosy evenings. The sitting room with elegant parquet flooring, and a dining room with integrated storage. The sun-dappled kitchen invites you with its array of cabinetry and a generous larder and a cloakroom provides that extra touch of convenience.
As you ascend, tranquillity awaits. Discover three spacious double bedrooms, each echoing tales of restful nights. A separate family bathroom and a single bedroom offer a space perfect for work or leisure.
Outside, nature beckons. The rear garden, shielded for privacy, is a botanist's dream come springtime with mature Rhododendrons, Magnolias, and Acer trees in full bloom. A brick-built boiler house, easily accessible from the garden and equipped for laundry needs, stands as a testament to thoughtfulness in design. But it's the quarter-acre woodland across the drive that truly extends Woodfield's embrace of nature, offering a sanctuary where flora and fauna thrive.
Woodfield is more than a house; it's a narrative waiting for its next chapter.
