Property Description

Woodend Farmhouse dates back to c. 1805 and is situated in a prominent location with open outlooks and large gardens.

The property is traditionally constructed and has been well maintained.

The original farmhouse has painted sandstone walls beneath a pitched, natural slate roof and, at the far side, a large sitting room extension that dates back to Victorian times.

The property has substantial gardens. At the front there is a large lawned area with well stocked borders and a selection of fruit trees. A sunny and sheltered patio area with plenty of space for garden furniture benefits from the facing south -west facing aspect.

The far side of the property has a chipstone driveway affording access to the rear garden. The rear garden has a chipstone area and a stocked heather bank with further lawn, large greenhouse and hedge to the side.
There is also access to a large garage which, as the floor plan shows, could also provide an obvious area to extend into if required.

Internally the property offers impressive accommodation extending to c. 2500 sq ft making this a superb sized family home.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a front porch area that also serves as a large study, a family room with window to the front and a lovely bright dining room with windows to front and rear and focal point fireplace with large wood burner. At the far side, the gracious sitting room enjoys attractive views on to the garden and an impressive feature fireplace with large wood burner fire and cast iron surround.

Also on the ground floor is the lovely traditional style kitchen with its range of wooden fronted units and a feature Rayburn Stove and practical boot room that provides access to the side driveway and car parking area.
Three generous double bedrooms (one with en suite shower) and a modern refitted family bathroom make up the remainder of the ground floor accommodation.

On the upper floor there are two further double bedrooms (which have their own direct access to each other via doors to the far side) and a second large family bathroom.

The property further benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and access to loft storage area.
