Period cottage with barns, paddocks and arena on over seven acres.
- Detached refurbished period cottage with flexible reception rooms
An attractively refurbished period cottage set in a peaceful rural lane, Woodheath Cottage combines traditional character with well-presented modern living across about 4,021 sq ft (house and outbuildings). The main house offers flexible reception space, a hand-painted kitchen with Aga, a vaulted garden room and three bedrooms (a fourth fitted as a dressing room) served by two refurbished bathrooms. The property sits in beautifully tended gardens of around 0.6 acres with gated driveway and off-street parking.
The adjoining brick outbuildings form a substantial courtyard including stables, tractor store, open-fronted car barn and a large brick barn with potential for ancillary accommodation (subject to planning). The paddocks are fully fenced, level and well maintained, and include a high-quality arena — making the estate well suited to equestrian use or smallholding activities. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, and the lane provides direct countryside access and local hacking/footpaths.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, the property has double glazing, and the solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. The EPC is rated E. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The barn conversion potential will need planning consent and any purchaser should allow for typical conversion costs and statutory processes.
Overall this is a substantial, secluded country home for buyers who value land, outbuildings and equestrian facilities alongside a refurbished period residence. It suits purchasers seeking a working smallholding or an established rural base with scope to adapt the outbuildings subject to approvals.
