Description

Woodland View, previously a cottage with a substantial garden has now been transformed into a thriving smallholding by the current owners. The land has been divided into designated areas for the purpose of rearing animals and growing produce for consumption. 


Step into the entrance hall that has plenty of space for storing coats and footwear. Doors from the entrance hall guide you into the study and the open plan kitchen and dining room.


The dining room has wooden flooring and space for a family sized table and chairs. Tiled flooring leads you into the kitchen which is extremely light and airy and benefits from a centrally located island. There is space for a range style cooker, fridge / freezer and a double sink conveniently overlooks the side aspect. A Lincar solid fuel fired stove sits perfectly within a recess and 


provides the heating and hot water for the property. French doors open out to the raised terrace and another door from the kitchen opens into the utility room and shower room. 


The utility room has plenty of space for white goods and plumbing for a washing machine. A skylight has been added to brighten up the room and a cupboard provides additional storage. The shower room has been modernised and has a w.c, wall mounted wash hand basin and a corner shower unit.


A study located off the entrance hall is a great space to work from home and is currently being utilised to that effect. The sitting room and sun room can be accessed via the study.


The sun room also provides an excellent space to work from home or could be used as a home studio if desired. Light floods into the space via skylights and superb views across woodland can be appreciated to the rear aspect.


The sitting room is spacious and has a beautiful fireplace with stone hearth and woodburning stove providing the main focal point in the room. This room has French doors leading out to the sunny terrace and a window to the front aspect.


Stairs from the study lead up to the first floor landing. There are three double bedrooms and a recently refurbished family bathroom.  The bathroom is finished with mosaic floor tiles and a four piece white suite. 


Outside


Woodland View sits within a plot measuring approximately 1.8 acres. A gate at the entrance opens onto a driveway leading down to an ample off road parking area, garage and outbuildings.


The land is currently divided up for the purpose of rearing animals and growing produce for consumption. This is something that could be continued if you are looking for a similar lifestyle choice but would equally appeal to those who are simply looking for a peaceful location to live or for hobby farming. The land is slightly elevated and there are multiple field shelters within the paddocks.  


In addition to the land is a well-established garden with various seating areas to enjoy al-fresco dining, particularly the large raised terrace to the rear aspect boasting excellent woodland views.


There is also a detached workshop benefitting from power and lighting that has potential for conversion subject to gaining necessary planning consents.
