Rectory Lane, Woodford

A handsome and architecturally impressive Georgian residence offering in excess of 4,000 square feet of accommodation and situated within a walled plot of roughly 0.34 acres. The features both internally and externally are outstanding, from the grand hall and elegant drawing room to the typically Georgian period detail. The home sits in a peaceful position overlooking one of the village greens within the conservation area, with historic buildings and truly wonderful and varied countryside being accessible from the end of the lane.

GROUND FLOOR
With extraordinarily high ceilings, elegant Georgian columns, ornate mouldings and a sweeping staircase, the Grand Hall is one of many special features of De Capell House that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Adjoining the grand hall is a spectacular drawing room befitting the more expansive stately homes. The continued high ceilings, tall doors, ornate ceiling mouldings and wonderful fireplace are fine examples of grand Georgian architecture.

A lobby sits beside the Grand Hall which works nicely as a secondary entrance hall from the driveway, from which the kitchen and laundry are both accessible. The kitchen has been fitted with quality cabinetry, with a variety of appliances and a sizeable island, all topped with speckled granite work surfaces. Conveniently positioned beside the kitchen, the laundry-come-boot room is a generously proportioned utility space with a range of fitted units, plumbing for various white goods and ample space for airing clothes.

Across the Grand Hall is the formal dining room which is of good proportions whilst still offering a homely feel. Finishing the ground floor is a beautifully specified cloakroom and a spacious home office, which is thoughtfully positioned away from the main living and cooking areas of the property.

The grounds have been thoughtfully designed with three comfortable and elegant levels, with a generous terrace which is well-suited to both relaxing or entertaining, and two lawns. There are a variety of established trees and shrubs which nicely soften the grounds up and offer levels of shade if so desired, while still having many areas of the gardens exposed to the sun for those who prefer to take advantage of the summer sun.
