This exceptional four double bedroom period home is believed to date back to the 1600s, originally constructed as a one-up one-down cottage, and has been thoughtfully extended over the centuries to create the substantial and character-filled property seen today. Situated in the heart of Woolavington, the house beautifully blends historic charm with generous, versatile living accommodation, set within grounds totalling just over an acre.
The original fireplace remains a striking focal point, complemented by exposed beams that set the tone for the rest of the home. Further extensions carried out during the 1800s shaped the property into its current form, offering spacious and well-balanced rooms throughout.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a welcoming lounge with a wood burner, a separate sitting room, and a formal dining room ideal for entertaining. The impressive kitchen diner features a central island, ample space for family dining, and a door leading through to a utility room. The current owner has extended the kitchen, yet the property’s heritage has been carefully preserved, with the original well still visible within the room. Completing the ground floor is a modern shower room and an additional reception room, offering excellent flexibility as a study, playroom, or even a fifth guest bedroom if required.
Upstairs, the property offers four generous double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite shower rooms. A well-appointed family bathroom features both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Original features continue throughout the upper floor, including exposed beams believed to have originated from an old wooden ship, period fireplaces, and exposed stonework that further enhance the home’s character.
Outside, the property truly comes into its own. A spacious driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, while the extensive outbuildings offer exceptional versatility. These include two brick-built sheds, a garage with access into two further storage areas, two stables, and a studio affectionately known by the current owners as “the man cave.” Beyond the buildings lies a charming orchard and an adjoining paddock, together creating a wonderful outdoor space ideal for equestrian use, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the rural setting, with the total grounds extending to just over an acre.
This remarkable home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and characterful period property with outstanding space, history, and lifestyle potential both inside and out.
