* Woodlands is an attractive and substantial detached Edwardian family home, with well planned accommodation arranged over four floors. The current owners have in recent years, made significant improvements including the full conversion of the basement, to create the lower ground floor rooms. The property now enjoys a light and airy feel, ideal for modern day family living. * Built in 1910, Woodlands was one of the first properties to be built in Rowhills and in later years was used by the Canadian Army in World War II. Evidence of their stay can still be found in what was originally the garden room, with axe marks in the floor from chopping wood. Many original features still also exist, including doors, herringbone woodblock flooring, fireplaces and bell pushes. * On the ground floor the spacious reception hall gives access to all of the principal reception rooms, including the lovely front aspect drawing room, with stripped solid wood floor and double glazed bay window. * The superb kitchen/dining room by Optiplan, is fitted with an excellent range of Shaker style units, complimented by granite worktops, ceramic tiling and Herringbone woodblock flooring. Included is a range cooker, microwave and integrated dishwasher. Double glazed French doors lead from the dining area to the decked sun terrace, ideal for entertaining and summer parties. * The lower ground floor accommodation adds an extra dimension to the property, with an extremely useful family/playroom, wine cellar and laundry room, complete with shower cubicle and cloakroom. * There are six bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, arranged over the first and second floors. The spacious master bedroom, with its double glazed bay window, fireplace with limestone surround and elegant four piece en-suite bathroom adds a real touch of luxury.
