Bearing the name of the Iron Age hill fort above it, Woolbury was designed by Haddow Partners and was completed in 2004. Welcoming you into the property is a large oval entrance hall with a grand centre staircase. To the left, a door leads to a dual-aspect games room, and to the right is a study with garden access; additional to the right is a dining room with picturesque views leading into a large and spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The modern kitchen, designed by Formwork Architects, provides a light and spacious cooking and entertainment area opening into the adjoining glass-enclosed conservatory where you can enjoy uninterrupted views, with double doors out to the garden. The kitchen has a two-burner kerosene-fired Aga, an integrated Miele oven and coffee maker, a Sub Zero fridge/freezer, wine storage, multiple ovens and dishwashers, and a large walk-in pantry.
