Description

Oakwood is a wonderful, detached home offering flexibile accommodation in stunning surroundings.

Built by the current owners to a high specification, as soon as you step through the front door into the glazed entrance hall, the outstanding quality of finish throughout the home is evident. From the Delabole slate roof, to the solid oak floors and everything in between – every aspect of this home speaks to the traditional craftsmanship and originality of design.

The main accommodation is arranged over two floors. The oak framed structure exudes character and charm whilst the powder coated aluminum windows in solid oak frames provide a modern touch as well as light and airy living spaces.

The ground floor living accommodation is largely open plan and is clearly the heart of the home offering a welcoming and sociable feel.

The well equipped kitchen is arranged around a central island and is hand made from solid oak. In addition to well- designed storage for modern living, there is a range of integrated Gaggenau appliances including a steam oven, conventional oven, induction hobs, charcoal grill, extractor unit and warming drawer. There is also bespoke housing for a fridge. The adjoining utility provides space for laundry equipment, a dishwasher and an Insinkerator.

The kitchen is open plan to the dining area which flows beautifully through to the triple aspect living room. A beautiful bespoke limestone fireplace, open on both sides provides a wonderful focal point for the living accommodation and the inset wood burning stove is the perfect accompaniment for cosy winter evenings.

On the other side of the kitchen, there is a fabulous garden room with oak and glazed gable providing a further dining space or simply somewhere to sit and enjoy the stunning views over the garden. Solid oak bi-fold doors lead to a decked area which faces south west and provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining or a sundowner.

Beyond the main living accommodation there is a double bedroom which is currently used as a study as well as a cloakroom and ample storage for coats and cloaks.

A stunning, bespoke oak spiral staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing which provides a wonderful reading/study area and also leads to the beautiful principal bedroom which benefits from a dressing room as well as an ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, a free standing bath and large, walk in shower.

In addition to the principal suite, there is a further double bedroom, a smaller double bedroom as well as a family shower room.

The lower ground floor at Oakwood is accessed both from outside and also stairs which lead from the ground floor utility so is well connected to the main living accommodation. Whilst currently used as an extensive workshop area, this could be converted to provide additional, self-contained living accommodation or as a gym / studio / games room subject to any necessary consents.

Gardens and grounds
The gardens and grounds at Oakwood certainly do not disappoint having been lovingly designed and created to make the most of the space. Extending to just under an acre, the grounds are a wonderful mix of functional areas and beautifully curated areas.

Immediately outside the living accommodation and accessed from the garden room, a large, oak decked area provides a beautiful, elevated seating area from which to enjoy the surroundings and views over the countryside. Steps lead to a lower deck and into the formal gardens beyond.

A lovely pond with water feature provides a focal point while gravelled paths and beautifully planted borders meander through to a lawned area and further seating.

Beyond the formal gardens, there is a generous kitchen garden with raised beds and a potting shed.

A generous lawned area which is bordered by mature shrubs and hedges houses a large boat store / garage as well as the solar panels which sit on a Cornish rocker ensuring they can be seasonally adjusted.

As well as the boat store, there is a detached triple garage as well as ample driveway parking.
