Property description
THE PROPERTY Number 22 Woodstock Lane is a delightfully situated three bedroomed natural stone detached cottage dating back some 200 years and enjoying a quite splendid, peaceful setting at the end of this picturesque lane on the edge of the village.
The accommodation consists of entrance porch into lounge/dining room with an oak floor and a feature fireplace housing a log burner. A staircase from here goes up to the first floor. An inner lobby leads past the bathroom with a modern white suite including a Jacuzzi bath to the substantially extended, well-appointed bespoke solid oak kitchen with granite work surfaces including a centre island incorporating integrated fridge and freezer. A Rayburn range provides for cooking and oil fired central heating via radiators and the sink mixer tap includes a filtered water setting.
Above the kitchen and bathroom is an insulated loft with ladder.
At first floor level there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with southerly views over the garden, while a second staircase then leads up to a larger than expected master bedroom with views to either side.
A major asset of the property is the delightful, very pretty garden laid mainly to lawn with a vegetable area, fruit bushes and trees and an 8' x 6' Elite greenhouse. The garden leads down to a babbling brook which provides for a very peaceful backdrop and overlooks pastureland to the side which often sees sheep grazing.
