Woodlands is a substantial Grade II listed period home occupying about half an acre on a quiet lane. The house combines historic features—inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and Victorian floor-to-ceiling windows—with generous reception rooms and mature, southwest-facing gardens that soak up afternoon sun. The property is offered chain-free and includes a cobbled courtyard, characterful outbuildings and ample off-street parking.
Accommodation currently provides four/five reception rooms, a compact kitchen with utility/store, five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, plus two further attic rooms and an attic store. The house is large (approx. 4,478 sq ft) and well-suited to families seeking roomy living and garden space, or buyers wanting a sympathetic restoration project with scope for further development.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing protects the building and will constrain alterations and may increase restoration costs. The kitchen is modest compared with the house size and there are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms; parts of the fabric and outbuildings will need maintenance or refurbishment. With fast broadband, low local crime and highly regarded nearby schools, the setting is peaceful and affluent — but prospective buyers should allow for listed-status restrictions and renovation budgets.
