Additional Information

Woodside Farm is built of heritage brick with a pantile roof and is orientated to face its garden and grounds and rolling, open countryside beyond. The overwhelming impression is of the house being detached although it is tenuously linked to its neighbours. The accommodation flows particularly well with generously proportioned living space and a hugely impressive 38 ft galleried hallway connecting to all principal ground floor rooms. High quality fixtures and fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms are complemented by underfloor heating across the ground floor and in all first floor bathrooms, panelled oak doors, engineered oak flooring and a handsome oak staircase. Vestiges of the property’s agricultural history are in evidence throughout with many sturdy oak ceiling beams and exposed brickwork.

The kitchen breakfast room extends 35 ft and is illuminated by a series of full-height windows extending from wall to wall with a glazed door opening to the terrace. There is ample space to accommodate a family-sized table and sitting area. Far-reaching views can be enjoyed from all corners of the room. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary units with under cabinet lighting, Corian worktops, an island with a family-sized breakfast bar, larder cupboard, an electric Aga and an array of integrated appliances including a coffee machine an integrated microwave and wine fridge. Adjacent is a large and fitted utility/laundry room with separate wc. The open plan dining and garden/family room features palatial sliding doors that open to the long paved and sheltered terrace with lawns extending beyond. A pair of glazed French doors illuminate the room from the south. At the western end of the house lies the seventeenth century part of the house and the characterful sitting room features some fine ceiling beams along with a log burning stove housed in a large mellow brick fireplace with a rustic oak mantel. The cinema room is fully fitted with an acoustic wall, atmospheric lighting, LED downlights and surround sound. Adjacent is a useful comms/storage room.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is arranged across an entire wing of the house, extending some 45 ft and with vaulted roof space. It comprises a double aspect bedroom part open to a snug area as well as a dressing room and bathroom with four-piece suite, heated towel rail and recessed television. In addition, there is a house bathroom also with a four-piece suite, a further large double bedroom and two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms. All enjoy fabulous views. The gym is a versatile space accessed from the large and light-filled landing with roof lights. Adjacent is a good-sized office that would work equally well as a fifth bedroom.

Outside

From the village, a long, tree-lined private drive sweeps past green pastures to where two gate posts indicate the property’s western boundary. Woodside Farm stands at the farthest point facing its wraparound garden, land and rolling countryside beyond. The tarmacadamed drive continues to a gravelled area that passes by an avenue of copper beech trees and terminates at a large parking and turning area between the house and outbuildings. Here is an open three-bay garage, a large workshop/store and a pump/store room, all with power and light.

An area of laid concrete with low walls displays the footprint for the construction of a triple oak-framed garage alongside the drive. We understand that planning permission is in place.

The gardens embrace the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, scattered with broadleaf trees. Attractive paved/gravelled terraced areas connect to the house on three sides, providing areas for sitting out and enjoying sunshine throughout the day. On the eastern corner stands a woodland copse. The gardens and grounds are enclosed largely by post and rail fencing.
