To the right, there is an excellent formal reception room that can also be used as a family room or a fifth bedroom if required. This room enjoys easy access to the ground-floor shower room and WC.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the large, L-shaped, open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. The kitchen is beautifully designed and features a large centre island complete with quartz work surfaces, a built-in sink, a wine fridge, a Bosch dishwasher, and an instant hot water tap.

This exceptional open-plan space offers several sets of large patio doors that open out onto the rear garden and outdoor entertaining areas. From the kitchen, you can access the extensive utility room, which offers plenty of storage, quartz work surfaces, and room for freestanding appliances.

Upstairs, there are four generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom is truly impressive, featuring a walk-in wardrobe, a luxurious four-piece en-suite with twin sinks and a walk-in shower, a Juliet balcony, and excellent forest views. The guest suite is almost as impressive, complete with a luxury en-suite, built-in wardrobes, and views over the forest. The other two large double bedrooms are served by another beautifully appointed family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower.

The property also benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and limestone flooring in all principal living areas. There is a large loft space, which is partially boarded, features lighting, and is accessed via a loft ladder.

Set in grounds of circa 0.61 acres, the garden at Woodside Cottage is a true haven, offering a private retreat that perfectly complements the elegance of the home. The outdoor space features an exceptional entertaining area, including a two-tier, wraparound sandstone terrace that provides the ideal spot for alfresco dining with ample room for seating guests.
