Tudor Revival detached home on a large wrap-around plot with strong extension potential.
Five double bedrooms including double-aspect master with dressing room and en-suite
A distinguished 5-bedroom, detached Tudor Revival home on a very large wrap-around corner plot within the historic Woodcote Estate. Set well back from the road behind a long sweeping driveway, the property offers generous reception rooms, original period features and a double garage with workshop — ideal for families who value privacy, garden space and scope to extend.
Internally the house retains many original details: parquet flooring, beamed ceilings, leaded windows, working fireplaces and a gallery staircase. Layout includes a large lounge, formal dining room, separate sitting room/study, well-proportioned kitchen with pantry and utility, plus five bedrooms including a double-aspect master with dressing room and en-suite. The footprint (circa 2,842 sq ft) and loft potential present clear scope for additional accommodation or reconfiguration.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property is of solid brick construction (likely without cavity insulation) and dates from c.1900–1929, so targeted updating and energy-efficiency improvements will be needed. There are only two main bathrooms for five bedrooms, and council tax is described as very expensive. The house is freehold and part of the Woodcote Residents’ Association, which preserves the estate character but may involve membership obligations.
This home suits families seeking a substantial period residence close to well-regarded local schools, or buyers wanting a character property with refurbishment and extension potential. Its large garden, strong transport and digital connectivity, low local crime and very affluent setting add to long-term appeal, while the solid construction and original features give a characterful canvas for modernisation.
