About this property

  • Woodhouse is a beautifully presented country house providing excellent levels of accommodation, with a variety of useful outbuildings, set within a mature plot of about 1.1 acres.

    The main part of the house dates back to the 16th century with more recent contemporary additions. Woodhouse is a substantial timber-framed house with both brick and plaster elevations under a handmade red clay-tiled roof. There are four bedrooms arranged over the first and second floor with several reception rooms to the ground floor including a delightful, partly-glazed, lounge to the rear of the house with views and extending into the mature gardens.

    There is an all-weather tennis court, workshop, several storage sheds and a large open barn. To the immediate rear of the garden is a swimming pool with a well appointed self-contained pool house.

    Woodhouse constitutes a valuable source of historical architecture and is listed as Grade II. The light-filled accommodation provides balanced reception and bedroom space, suited for a range of lifestyles, and is entered from the front via a welcoming entrance hall with open studwork linking the study. Beyond is a spacious utility and boot room leading to a modern design shower room with WC facilities. A formal sitting room occupies the centre of the house and is a charming room with solid oak flooring and a red-brick inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. The kitchen includes a range of bespoke oak-fronted units opening to a light-filled dining room providing an ideal space for entertaining. To the rear of the house is a uniquely designed, glass walled semi-circular reception space leading to a vaulted ceiling lounge with contemporary wood burner.

    To the first floor a spacious landing serves three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is at one end of the house and enjoys storage and an en suite shower room. To the upper level is a further bedroom. Both en suite and family bathrooms benefit from under floor heating.

    Outside
    Woodhouse sits centrally in private mature grounds which are attractively landscaped with areas of lawn, established borders, shrubbery and trees, providing all-year-round colour and enjoyment.

    There is a substantial drive to the side of the house leading to the workshop, storage and open barn. There is a natural pond and a discreetly positioned heated swimming pool with a self-contained pool house. An all-weather tennis court is to the side of the house and there is a further, formal area of garden to the immediate front of the house.

    All in around 1.1 acres.

This property is full of character but has a very light-filled, modern feel. The outbuildings, in particularly the pool house, just add to the charm of this special home.
