Property for sale in Woodbury: Four bedroom cottage

The semi-detached dwelling, named Ailsa Cottage, is not a ‘listed’ property despite its age and character, yet it is believed to date from the 16th Century and is constructed of cob and stone walls.

The current owners have lived in the house for a long period of time and have lovingly maintained its character while extending its size and adding modern creature comforts. The house is finely presented and has a wealth of period features such as exposed beams, window seats, as well as extensive storage space.

Inside, the sitting room occupies a place in the extension and has a triple aspect with double doors to the rear garden and a focal fireplace housing a fuel-burning stove.

There are three other reception rooms comprising a well-sized study, a cosy snug that would also work well as a fifth bedroom and a well-proportioned family room.

The farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with cream-coloured units, wooden worksurfaces, an Aga, and there is ample space for a dining table and chairs. A double bedroom and shower room complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from having an ensuite bathroom. Another bedroom has access to a large, boarded loft space.

Outside, the gardens surrounding the property measure 0.17 acres and offer a good degree of privacy. The landscaped gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are interspersed with a wide array of attractive and well-established flower beds, an inviting covered seating area, and an attractive Japanese-style courtyard with a lovely arbour.

The house has a parking area that can accommodate four vehicles and leads to a single garage.
