Seller Insight

Originally built in 1992, the property has been extended over time to become an impressive and unique modern home spread across a multitude of levels. The stunning leisure complex, home cinema and wonderful facilities add a further layer of unadulterated luxury. The current owners have lived here for three happy years; ‘the first time we viewed the property our minds were quite simply blown! No other residence we’d seen compared to it. The approach to the house via a beautiful long tree-lined drive leads you to the front door, once inside the sight of the atrium with its unique architecture, stunning décor and huge rooms leading off at various levels is simply breath-taking.’ ‘After a long day at work, coming home to such an aesthetically pleasing home with so much space is incredible. It’s a home to enjoy and relax in, whether we go for a swim in the pool, chill in the hot-tub, immerse ourselves in the below ground-level cinema room with Dolby surround sound or sit in the peaceful garden and listen to the birds. There are no words to describe what it feels like to experience the pleasures of the land and surrounding nature on a daily-basis.’ ‘The lounge is definitely our favourite room; with high ceilings, multi-levels and interesting sections, all surrounded by glass doors and windows through which are breathtaking views, it’s simply the most pleasurable place to spend time. It’s a wonderful room in summer, and in the winter the warmth and comfort of the log burner is delightful.’ ‘A walk in the back garden takes you to a peaceful and quiet place with surrounding woodlands, birdsong and the occasional horse rider on the adjacent bridleway – it’s almost surreal to enjoy all of this from the comfort of your own home. On a nice day, driving the tractor around the land is enormous fun!’ ‘A while back whilst in the lovely warm water of the hot tub we had an almost Disney-like experience! We watched in amazement as several squirrels played together – running up and down a tall tree – whilst rabbits hopped and chased each other beneath. It was absolutely magical.’ ‘We’ll miss everything as the property offers such a wonderful lifestyle. In our eyes, nothing can compare to the elegance and beauty of Woodleigh House. The privacy it has given us and the memories we have created here are invaluable. Our three children have now left home and it’s time to downsize.’*
