Elegant Grade II listed Georgian townhouse overlooking Woodgreen

Description

Woodgreen Cottage is a particularly elegant Grade II listed house enjoying a lovely outlook over Woodgreen with its surrounding period houses. Originally a farmhouse believed to date from the early 18th century with later additions, the property has been sympathetically renovated over the years, carefully retaining the character period features.
Features include generously proportioned rooms with high ceilings, sash windows with working shutters, window seat, panelling in the drawing room and, providing a particularly attractive entrance to the house, a six panel door with early 19th century fan light set in moulded architrave.
The property is complemented by a beautiful, mature, well stocked walled garden, garaging, and a private yard providing extensive parking space.

Predominantly arranged over two floors, with two attic bedrooms, bathroom and a cloakroom in addition, the house provides generously proportioned and flexible accommodation, and is ideally configured for family living and entertaining. The drawing room is a particularly attractive and light room with panelling to the walls, a window seat and recessed shelving set either side of the fireplace with wood burning stove. The dining room is another elegant room with window seat and arched recessed cupboards and shelves set to the side of the fireplace with wood burning stove.
The striking open plan kitchen/breakfast room has flagstone flooring with underfloor heating and is a particularly inviting space with a lovely outlook over the garden. With a window seat and French doors opening to the garden, it is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a useful utility room and separate cloakroom.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, one en suite, and the family bathroom. The second floor landing leads to the two remaining bedrooms, one with an en suite, and the other with a cloakroom, and ideal as a guest suite.

Outside
To the front of the house is an enclosed garden with central path leading to the front door. The impressive rear gardens provide a particularly attractive and atmospheric setting. The main walled garden has been beautifully landscaped with areas of lawn, terracing, well stocked borders with trees and shrubs. Immediately to the rear is the striking courtyard garden, paved with carefully tended, shaped planters. Nestled in one corner of the garden is a charming summerhouse opening to a terrace, and is an ideal setting for al fresco dining. A gate within the garden wall gives access to the garages, one of which was the original coach house with hayloft and cobbled floor. The garages and large gravelled gated yard are approached from New Yatt Road.
