Oakwood House is a wonderful family home built in 1929 and subsequently extended in 1993 and 1994. The house underwent a refurbishment programme which was completed in 2022, creating a beautifully presented and substantial home extending to over 9,500 sq. ft.

The ground floor is entered through a wide reception hall giving access to the principal reception rooms, study and playroom. The drawing room with lovely fireplace, sitting room and dining room all have a southerly aspect across the gardens and to the woodland beyond. The kitchen is very well fitted, with a good-sized pantry on the northern end. From the kitchen, double doors open into the garden room, again facing south over the gardens and grounds - from here, a further door leads to the swimming and leisure wing with large heated pool, gym, sauna, steam room and changing room. There is also a large coats and boots room to the rear of the kitchen.

The principal bedroom suite with two dressing rooms, a bathroom and cloakroom are on the first floor along with two further bedroom suites, a guest bedroom and family bathroom. The second floor offers two further bedroom suites each with a sitting area and shower room.

Approached from the lane through electrically operated gates, the driveway sweeps to the front of the house and a large area of parking. Oakwood House is set with stunning gardens giving a parkland feel with an array of specimen trees and plants, beautiful rhododendrons and azaleas.
