The Property
Built on former grounds of Wolsingham School in 2005, Leazes Lane is a small and peaceful exclusive development of attractive stone-built spacious family homes with countryside views, yet within minutes of the desirable market town of Wolsingham. 6 Leazes Lane has been finished to a high standard and offers stylish décor throughout the generous property with flexible accommodation for modern living.

The reception rooms radiate from a large, light entrance hall with handy WC beneath the open staircase to the first floor. The contemporary kitchen with range style cooker integrated dishwasher and housing for a large American style fridge/freezer offers plenty of storage and space for a large dining table. Double doors open into a reception room ideal as a family room, playroom, snug or formal dining room, with French doors out onto the rear patio, and a utility room with laundry facilities leads through into the integral double garage with lighting and power. Behind the stairs sits another room with a variety of uses to suit any buyer: a study, home gym, library – the list is endless. Beside this is an elegant and generously proportioned sitting room, again with French doors to the rear garden, and a large bay window to the front.

To the first floor, the light, space and options for room usage continue. The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear of the house to make to most of the balcony, garden and countryside views beyond, and the beautiful room has an abundance of storage with fitted wardrobes plus a separate walk-in wardrobe, and a smart en-suite shower room with double size shower. A guest bedroom to the front of the house also has a clean, modern en-suite shower room and the third bedroom and family room on this floor are served by a luxurious family bath with separate bath and shower. The family room/bedroom is a huge space currently used as a play and games area, but that again offers a whole host of reception or sleeping options for any family. This room also has a balcony looking out over the rear garden.

The second floor offers two further good-sized bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, ideal escapes for guests or teenagers, and access to eaves storage from the landing.

Externally
6 Leazes Lane is approached via a gated private tarmacadam driveway, leading to the integral double garage. To the front of the house is a good-sized lawn kept private by mature trees, and a gravelled seating area, ideal for enjoying the southerly sunshine. A log cabin with power and lighting sits to the other side of the drive; the perfect escape or summerhouse. To the rear, a full width patio with doors from the two main reception rooms offers excellent al fresco dining and entertaining possibilities. Steps lead up to a manicured walled lawn for relaxation or play. A wooden shed sits to one side and there is plenty of space for further outdoor storage.

Access to Leazes Lane private estate is via a gated entrance and there is a grassed area in the centre of the estate for communal use.

Agents Note
There is a communal service charge of £100 per month for 10 months of the year to cover the communal electric gates, lighting and maintenance.
