Dating from the early 20th century, Abbot’s Wood is a substantial country home in the Arts and Crafts style, retaining many of the characteristics typical of that period. Abbot's Wood has been under the same ownership for some 47 years and whilst it has been maintained as required it now offers incoming purchaser an opportunity for sympathetic upgrading and decoration, in order to provide a large, stylish family home in the most convenient of locations.Note-worthy characteristics include the very generous panelled reception hall with elegant oak staircase, feature fireplaces in a number of rooms and the attractive stone-mullioned leaded-light windows. High ceilings in the south facing principal rooms and large windows create a tremendous impression of space and light whilst drawing the eye to some superb aspects over the formal gardens. The bright and spacious kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a recently refurbished Smallbone kitchen and will undoubtedly become the family centre of the home. Generous reception areas and garden access make Abbot’s Wood ideal for entertaining on a grand scale when required whilst being equally well suited to comfortably informal family living.The property currently provides up to eight bedrooms including potential staff accommodation but this could easily be re-configured if required. Beyond the main ground floor accommodation a service wing provides extensive storage areas and internal access to a garage–workshop with space for up to four cars.
