Set well within 8.7 acres of landscaped lawns, meadows and woodland, Woodpecker House is a large, characterful family home that blends Tudor timber framing with a contemporary wrap‑around extension. The ground floor balances formal reception rooms—sitting room, drawing room with log‑burner and a flexible family room—with a modern open‑plan kitchen/breakfast and dining area that opens to decking for indoor–outdoor entertaining.
Five first‑floor bedrooms include a principal suite with en suite and private south‑west facing roof terrace. A self‑contained first‑floor annexe above the insulated 40ft x 25ft garage (own entrance, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom) offers useful income or independent guest accommodation. Practical features include a wood‑pellet boiler, partial underfloor heating and mains services; private drainage is in place and complies.
The estate is approached through electric security gates onto a long driveway with plentiful parking, outbuildings, garden stores and an enclosed area suitable for small livestock. The extensive grounds offer wildlife habitats, meadow walks and elevated country views—ideal for families who value space, privacy and outdoor life.
Notable points to consider: the main house is timber framed (originally c.1900–1929) and external wall insulation is assumed absent; the property is large and will demand ongoing maintenance and higher running and council tax costs. Mobile signal is average, though broadband speeds are reported fast. This is a substantial rural holding most suited to buyers seeking generous indoor/outdoor space and prepared for upkeep associated with an older, character home.
