Set within roughly four acres of formal gardens, paddock, orchard and bluebell woodland, Woodside is a spacious four-bedroom detached home arranged over two floors. The house has been comprehensively updated: A-rated oil boiler, unvented mains-pressure hot and cold system, new wiring and consumer unit (2020), replumbed (2020), FENSA-rated double glazing and targeted underfloor heating in key areas. Large windows and triple-aspect living room bring light and countryside views into every principal room.
The grounds are a major part of the appeal — a gated T-shaped driveway with twin garages, a substantial 30’ x 20’ double-height barn with separate lane access, paddock with wildflower meadow and an established orchard. Formal terraces, a southerly courtyard with water feature, greenhouse and well-planned shrub borders provide private outdoor living and easy space for children, animals or small-scale agricultural/hobby uses (subject to consent).
Practical strengths include a roomy utility/boot room, a contemporary kitchen with solid oak worktops and integrated appliances, an en suite to the main bedroom, and extensive eaves/storage. Broadband is fast and the area records very low crime, making this a secure family base in a tranquil rural setting.
Important considerations: heating is oil-fuelled (private, not a community supply) so running costs and future fuel sourcing should be factored in. The property’s cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), which may limit thermal performance despite the other energy upgrades. The house sits in a remoter hamlet with limited local services; council tax is above average. These points are balanced by the recent electrical and plumbing work and the overall energy improvements already completed.
