4 bedroom detached house

The property was built in 1897 as an estate worker's cottage for the Woodhouse Estate and was purchased by the present owners in 2009. Over time the property has been thoughtfully modernised to promote family living whilst ensuring retention of Victorian features including fire surrounds, grates, ranges and recessed cupboards. The interior now has a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere, where period combines with contemporary.

An extension in 2013/14 allowed the house to be sympathetically remodelled providing a welcoming open plan kitchen and living room space, upstairs family bathroom, additional bedrooms and associated re-wiring, plumbing, double glazed windows, doors and roof upgrade.

The beautiful kitchen breakfast/family room includes a log burning stove and French doors opening up onto the patio and rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with units and integrated appliances. There is also a breakfast bar and polished tiled floor. The comfortable and well proportioned sitting room, with its open fire, and dining room with original range oven, provide a real 'cottage'
feel to the property.

The first floor has four bedrooms with the principal bedroom having an en-suite shower room. The Porcelanosa family bath/shower room has under floor heating. All bedrooms have beautiful outlooks either over the field to the front of the house or to the generous garden to the rear.

Outside
The Cottage is approached through an electrically operated farm gate which opens onto the driveway passing along the front of the house. There is ample parking either on the stone-chipped parking bay as you enter the drive or up the side of the house in front of a detached stone and tile garage set back from the property. The garage is currently divided with a smaller room (previously used for wood work) to the rear, but could easily be reinstated as a single space. The property boasts a beautiful cottage garden frontage with planted beds, borders and stone-chipped pathways that give prominence to the entrance porch which is adorned by a mature climbing rose.

The rear garden is completely enclosed both with fencing and hedging. It is laid principally to a large expanse of level lawn and interspersed with a variety of trees. Trees include Walnut, Weeping willow, Californian Lilac, Medlar, Silver Birch, and Oak. Fruit trees include plum and cherry. A large paved area spans the width of the rear elevation and is ideal for entertaining. There is a substantial shed/ summer house in the eastern corner of the garden with electricity supply.
