WOODLANDS HOUSE

Set in one of Claygate’s most desirable locations, this beautifully presented five-bedroom detached home offers exceptional living space, high-specification finishes, and a south-west facing garden complete with a private swimming pool and garden room gym. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, this home is ideal for family life and stylish entertaining alike.

A spacious and welcoming entrance hallway with engineered herringbone wood flooring leads to all ground floor accommodation, providing an elegant and practical flow. Immediately to the left, double doors bring you through to the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, flooded with natural light thanks to its triple-aspect including two sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden. The Neptune kitchen is a showpiece in contemporary design, featuring an extensive range of pale grey units, dark grey Dekton worktops, and integrated Neff appliances. There is ample room for a large dining table, and the adjacent family/TV area provides the perfect spot for relaxed evenings. Stone flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout this entire space, adding both comfort and practicality. A generously sized utility room offers excellent storage and laundry facilities.
The formal reception room is a standout feature of the property. With a dramatic vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, this impressive space offers a sense of grandeur, while the central exposed brick wall with inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove adds warmth and character. Double doors fitted with stylish plantation shutters open onto the rear terrace, offering views of the swimming pool and garden. From the reception room, further double doors lead into a delightful conservatory with air conditioning and direct access to the garden — a tranquil retreat throughout the year. Beyond the conservatory is a bespoke study, complete with built-in cupboards and shelving, making it an ideal work-from-home space. Double doors from the study return to the hallway. A formal dining room with a front-facing bay window and a guest WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor houses four generously proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal suite is a luxurious space with fitted wardrobes, a deep walk-in cupboard, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, twin sinks, and a large walk-in shower. Bedrooms four and five also benefit from fitted wardrobes and all bedrooms share access to a stylish family bathroom. A light-filled landing features double doors decorated with plantation shutters which open out to a front facing balcony.

On the second floor, the fifth bedroom is a spacious and versatile suite with its own exclusive bathroom, as well as substantial eaves storage. This space is perfect for guests, older children, or as an additional office or hobby room.

The south-west facing garden is a true highlight of this home. A smart L-shaped terrace wraps around the rear of the house, creating multiple seating and dining areas perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. The heated outdoor swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the garden, with a stylish garden room housing a fully equipped gym just beyond. The remaining garden is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature trees and hedging that provide excellent privacy and a sense of seclusion. Gated side access offers practicality.

To the front, the property benefits from access to a double garage with an EV charging point, and ample off-street parking for several vehicles.
