Summary

Woodbine Villa, a much-loved period home, beautifully restored and wonderfully private, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.

Offered to the market for the first time in 40 years, Woodbine Villa is a truly special four-bedroom detached home, occupying a wonderfully tranquil and highly sought-after position. Built by Edward Gatland in 1902, this handsome period residence has been lovingly cared for by its current owners, who have sympathetically restored and updated it while retaining the character and charm that make the house so distinctive.

Set within its own wraparound gardens, Woodbine Villa enjoys an enviable sense of space and seclusion, with uninterrupted views across the surrounding fields. Peaceful and welcoming, it combines period character, comfortable modern living and an exceptional rural setting.

Presented in turnkey condition, the house is ready to enjoy from day one, while also offering scope for further enhancement or extension, subject to the necessary consents.

A welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms. The bright and generous lounge combines contemporary decoration with period charm, with a sash-style window framing exceptional views across the front of the property and the countryside beyond.

From the lounge, the accommodation flows naturally into a superb modern conservatory, a wonderfully light and versatile room with direct access to the rear garden and patio. Overlooking the gardens, it provides an idyllic setting for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding landscape.

The separate dining room is equally appealing, with another sash-style window framing dramatic countryside views. To the rear is a spacious, contemporary kitchen, thoughtfully fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, complementary work surfaces and a useful breakfast area. Generous windows overlook the gardens and open fields beyond, filling the room with natural light. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying its own remarkable outlook. The surrounding landscape is a recurring feature throughout the house, giving the bedrooms a wonderful sense of openness and connection with their setting.

The spacious family bathroom has been modernised and features a separate shower.

Outside, the gardens are undoubtedly one of Woodbine Villa"s greatest attractions. Beautifully maintained and wrapping around the house, they provide privacy, tranquillity and a peaceful rural atmosphere. Lawns, established planting and areas for sitting and entertaining create a beautiful setting, complemented by the surrounding countryside.

A substantial gravel driveway provides extensive off-street parking and leads to a large detached double garage, which offers considerably more than simple storage.

Within the garage is a remarkably versatile annexe and home-working space, offering an exciting range of possibilities. It would be ideal for extended family, visiting guests, a teenager seeking their own space or those working from home. The accommodation comprises a large open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen, a separate ground-floor bedroom and a shower/utility room.

With its handsome Edwardian origins, beautifully maintained gardens, far-reaching countryside views and unusually flexible additional accommodation, Woodbine Villa is a home with genuine individuality.

After four decades in the same ownership, this is a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a much-loved period property — a house that combines the character and proportions of its era with the comfort of modern living, all within an exceptional and wonderfully peaceful setting.
