Large detached cottage with outbuildings and farmland views — ideal family project.
Detached 3-bedroom character cottage with far-reaching rural views
Set in a peaceful Stoke St Gregory location, Woodhill is a large, detached 19th-century cottage occupying about 0.3 acre and backing onto open farmland. The house offers spacious, well-proportioned reception rooms including a sitting room, study/snug with an inglenook fireplace, and a kitchen/dining room with commanding rural views. A conservatory, utility, hobbies room and extensive outbuildings add practical space for hobbies, storage and workshop use.
This home will suit a family seeking a semi-rural lifestyle: three bedrooms upstairs (one notably larger), a shower room, oil-fired central heating and double glazing. The plot is a standout feature — south-west facing garden, mature planting and direct views over farmland provide privacy and long-distance panoramas. The property is offered chain-free.
Buyers should note practical limitations: broadband speeds are very slow, heating is oil-fired (fuel cost and servicing considerations), and there is a single shower room for three bedrooms. The cottage shows character and scope for updating; some rooms and outbuildings present clear refurbishment potential rather than turnkey modern finishes. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall, Woodhill is an attractive rural family home with large gardens and significant ancillary space. It best suits purchasers who value privacy, views and workspace outbuildings and who are willing to carry out targeted improvements to modernise services and interiors.
