The Woodlands, Leonard Stanley, Stonehouse

A semi detached family home sitting in a small cul de sac within the well regarded village of Leonard Stanley, believed to date back to the late 1960s. The setting offers the chance to embrace village life, opening to the playing fields to the rear, giving a sense of space and outlook rarely found in this style of home.

On approach, a driveway runs to the side of the property providing parking for two vehicles, positioned in front of a carport and single attached garage. The front garden is enclosed and mainly laid to lawn with a mature tree and a pathway leading to the front entrance.

Inside, the entrance hall provides stairs rising to the first floor with useful under stairs storage and doors leading to the sitting room and fitted kitchen/family room.

The fitted kitchen is fitted with a range of solid oak base and wall units, slate grey worktops, inset sink, and a window overlooking the front garden A freestanding oven is included and there is space for additional appliances, to include washing machine and fridge freezer. The kitchen opens into a dining/family area with a built in dresser and window to the side, offering space for a dining table, chairs, and even a sofa.

The sitting room is positioned to the rear and enjoys a wealth of natural light from French doors, which open directly onto the garden. A stone fire place creates a central feature of the room, with a decommissioned gas fire inset, (we understand the chimney can be opened with potential for a log burner subject to the necessary permissions and flue installation). Views extend across the garden to the playing fields and hills beyond.

Stairs lead to the first floor landing with doors to all bedrooms, the family bathroom, and loft access. Bedroom one sits to the front with two windows offering distant views and good space for freestanding furniture, with built in cupboard set above the stair well.

Bedroom two is also a double room, positioned to the rear with open views across the playing fields. Bedroom three is a smaller double room with a rear aspect overlooking the garden and fields beyond. The stairs and all three bedrooms have newly laid neutral carpet.

The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom which would benefit from some updating, fitted with a bath and electric shower over, low flush WC, and vanity wash basin, with an opaque side window providing natural light,

The rear garden is accessed directly from the sitting room via French doors, as well as from a rear door within the garage. It has been landscaped for ease of maintenance and everyday use. Immediately outside the sitting room is a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor seating, enclosed by low level trellis which defines the space while keeping the outlook open. Steps lead down to a lawned garden with a pathway running through the centre, guiding access towards a decked seating area at the far end, a lovely spot to enjoy the sun during the warmer months.

The garden is enclosed by a combination of fencing and hedging, offering privacy while still allowing open views across the adjoining playing fields. Planted beds and pots line the boundaries, adding structure and seasonal interest. A useful wooden shed is positioned to the rear of the garage, providing practical storage for garden furniture and tools.

The single garage is fitted with an up and over door, with power and lighting, and benefits from a rear access door into the garden.
