Woodlands Cottage is a substantial thatched stone cottage set privately at the end of a lane, with just over an acre of garden, paddock and outbuildings. The main house offers generous, characterful accommodation across two floors — a dual-aspect sitting room, spacious kitchen/dining room, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, and three double first-floor bedrooms each with an en‑suite. A detached one‑bedroom stone annexe provides self-contained living or guest/annexe-let potential.
The property has modern additions and environmental features: an air‑source heat pump and solar panels support energy efficiency, while a programme of improvements has been carried out over the years. Planning permission has been granted to extend to the side, presenting a clear way to increase living space (plans available on request). The grounds include extensive lawns, mature trees, a paddock area and a double garage/outbuilding with power and light.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The house is historic (constructed before 1900) with traditional sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed to be uninsulated; the thatch roof and period fabric will require ongoing specialist maintenance. Main heating is via an oil boiler and the property is on oil fuel (not mains gas). Broadband speeds are very slow; mobile signal is excellent. There is a shared septic tank, and the site is in an area of medium flood risk. Council Tax is Band F and the current EPC is D.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character, space and privacy — families wanting room for hobbies, those needing separate annexe accommodation, or buyers looking for a rural lifestyle with scope to improve and extend. The plot and outbuildings give practical potential for equestrian, small‑holding or workshop uses, while the planning consent offers immediate enlargement opportunities.
