Set on about a fifth of an acre in peaceful Ruardean Woodside, this substantial detached home offers over 2,300 sq ft of flexible living — ideal for a growing or multi‑generational family. Large reception rooms, a generous kitchen/diner, utility and an oversized garage/hobby room give scope for everyday family life and hobbies. French doors and a southwest‑facing garden deck maximise long afternoon sun and countryside views.
The house has been upgraded with triple glazing throughout and a new oil‑fired boiler, helping thermal performance in an older build. Practical features include ample off‑street parking for three to four cars, a utility, and useful built‑in storage including airing and linen cupboards. Local schools rated Good and Outstanding sit within easy reach, and the village setting offers low crime and fast broadband options.
Buyers should note a few material facts: mains drainage is not connected (septic tank in place), heating runs on oil (not a community supply), and the property’s age and successive extensions mean some areas may need updating or ongoing maintenance. The EPC is D and council tax sits in Band D. Also, the listing materials contain conflicting bedroom counts (four and five); interested buyers should confirm the current bedroom configuration on inspection.
This is a comfortable, roomy family home with strong scope to personalise. It suits purchasers looking for generous internal space, a large garden with views, and a village lifestyle — prepared to accept oil heating and septic tank arrangements or to carry out selective modernisation.
