Noir by David Cliff – Exceptional Five Double Bedroom Detached Residence, Spencers Wood Presented by Richard Chambers Set behind electric gates along a highly desirable village road, Woodpeckers on Grovelands Road is a truly exceptional detached residence, offering over 3,000 sq ft of beautifully curated living space.
Combining scale, style and individuality, this striking home delivers a rare blend of privacy, elegance, and contemporary design, a forever home of genuine distinction.
Approached via a very generous private driveway framed by mature trees and established planting, the property immediately impresses with its attractive frontage and secluded setting.
Side access to both aspects further enhances practicality and flow.
Inside, a welcoming and expansive hallway provides a seamless introduction to the ground floor, connecting a series of thoughtfully designed reception spaces.
At the heart of the home lies a stunning kitchen/breakfast room, impeccably appointed with sleek contemporary cabinetry and premium integrated appliances.
Features include a Franke tri-flow tap, Quooker boiling water tap, combination microwave/oven, steamer oven, two additional ovens, five-ring induction hob, underfloor heating, and water softener.
A beautifully positioned bay window frames views over the front gardens, while a relaxed seating area creates the perfect space for everyday family living.
A substantial utility room with side access leads through to the double garage, complete with electric up-and-over door.
The formal dining room is both elegant and inviting, enjoying dual-aspect light and French doors opening onto the garden.
Adjacent, a versatile family room, also with garden access, offers potential as a fifth bedroom. Ideal for guests or multigenerational living, with scope to create a ground floor shower room nearby.
Two further reception rooms provide exceptional flexibility.
A cosy front lounge offers a private retreat with a gas coal-effect fireplace, while the rear reception room is a spectacular garden-facing space, featuring triple-aspect windows and full-width bi-fold doors, complemented by electric blinds and a powered patio awning, perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues.
The principal suite is particularly impressive, with extensive fitted wardrobes, dual-aspect views and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and twin basins.
Three additional double bedrooms are all generously proportioned and individually characterful, served by a spacious family bathroom with both bath and separate shower.
