Toddington, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL54

A fine and substantial country home nestled within its own circa 7 acres with a swimming pool, stabling, garaging, a steel barn and various outbuildings.

Nestled within its own curtilage of circa 7 acres this fine country home offers an idyllic plot comprising gardens and paddocks, various outbuildings, three stables, garaging, a steel barn and an outside swimming pool. The idyllic semi-rural setting yet easy accessibility into the village of Toddington and the cultural town of Winchcombe, make this an extremely special place in which to live. The Woodleys is an impressive detached property built from the honey coloured stone that The Cotswolds is so well known for. The current owners have enhanced and extended it over their many years in residence, creating a charming home, with period detail complementing the more contemporary elements, that spans over 2500 sq ft of internal accommodation and has the opportunity for the prospective owner to develop the land further, subject to planning.

The ground floor accommodation cleverly interlinks, creating separate rooms that flow between one another. The more formal drawing room has a double door leading to the office, a further door leading to the porch and an archway leading to the more relaxed sitting room. From here is a doorway to the dining room, a charming room that overlooks the glorious gardens and these can be directly accessed through sliding doors. To the rear of the house is the well-appointed kitchen, with bi fold doors opening to a large courtyard, ideal for al fresco dining. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of units and a large central island provides comfortable seating. A utility room and shower room are also situated on this level.

On the first floor, the bedrooms are equally generous and well balanced to the living space. The principal and guest bedrooms have en suite shower rooms whilst a family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.


Outside
Positioned behind high electric gates, the property is fronted by its own, spacious in and out driveway which leads to parking and the garages, one single and two doubles. As with any of the best country homes the outside space is particularly impressive, the plot of approximately 7 acres is made up of both formal grounds and paddocks and each have their own access. Behind the house is stabling for three horses adjacent to a large double garage ideal for machinery and as a tack room and accessed from the rear reception rooms are the outside swimming pool which is set into a raised patio terrace with a space for outside entertaining and a BBQ. At the far point of the plot is a large steel framed barn that is ideal for the classic car collector or to provide further garaging and a workshop.
