Accommodation:
Inside, every room is blessed with views across the surrounding grounds, fostering a continuous connection with the landscape. The kitchen/breakfast room is bright and welcoming, fitted with a full suite of integrated appliances, while the adjoining family/dining room offers the perfect setting for entertaining. A generous sitting room, brimming with character, provides superb space for family gatherings. Each reception room is centred around a wood-burning stove, enhancing the home's warmth and inviting atmosphere. A practical utility/boot room and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are four beautifully appointed double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite shower room, complemented by a well-designed family bathroom.

Outside:
Externally, the appeal continues with a sweeping driveway leading to generous off-road parking and a large double garage with versatile potential. Further outbuildings include a substantial barn, wood and storage sheds, and a charming hobbit-style cabin with a central firepit grill, an idyllic retreat for entertaining or simply enjoying sunsets over the gardens. The grounds extend to approximately 6.5 acres and create a setting of distinction. Immediately surrounding the house, formal gardens are beautifully arranged with a large patio beneath a grapevine-covered pergola and a pretty fish pond, providing a tranquil focal point. Beyond, the land is thoughtfully laid out with water connected and field shelters provided, making it ideally suited for those with equestrian interests or those seeking the opportunities of a small holding, while equally appealing to anyone in search of peace, privacy, and uninterrupted rural views.

Woodington Farmhouse represents a rare opportunity to enjoy a home of character and comfort in an idyllic yet convenient setting.Agent's Note:The property's water supply is provided via a neighbouring farm, with metered charges payable directly to them rather than the main utility supplier. The private access track is owned by Little Woodington, with rights of access granted and a shared responsibility for maintenance and repairs as required.
Planning permission for a solar farm was previously granted but subsequently overturned by the Supreme Court on appeal in 2025. The proposed site would have been located at the far rear/right boundary of the property, behind the barn and surrounding paddock. It was not anticipated to impact the outlook of the formal gardens or the majority of the land.
