About the property

Woodside, Sandleheath A charming and beautifully appointed double-fronted period cottage, believed to date from the early 1900s, constructed of red brick beneath a slate roof. Occupying a central position within an attractive L-shaped plot of approximately 1/6 of an acre, Woodside enjoys enclosed gardens to both the front and rear and has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively refurbished by the current owners to create a stylish and highly functional family home. The property seamlessly blends period character with contemporary living, offering four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a superb open-plan kitchen/dining space, forming the heart of the home.

Approached via an entrance porch designed in keeping with the original cottage, the front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where the original staircase rises to the first floor. From here, doors lead to the principal reception rooms and kitchen. The formal sitting room is a particularly inviting space, featuring a working open fireplace with original brick surround, slate hearth, and timber mantle, complemented by a sash window overlooking the front garden. A further reception room, currently arranged as a snug, also enjoys a front aspect and features a wood-burning stove, providing a cosy and versatile living space.

To the rear, the property opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, thoughtfully designed for modern family life and entertaining. Finished with engineered oak flooring throughout, the kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry topped with solid oak work surfaces, incorporating a central island with ceramic sink and breakfast bar seating. There is space for a range cooker and American-style fridge/freezer, alongside an integrated dishwasher. Natural light floods the space via dual-aspect sash windows and French doors, which open directly onto the rear patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

An exposed brick opening leads through to the snug, enhancing the sense of flow and character. A well-appointed utility room provides additional storage, work surfaces, and appliance space, along with access to the side of the property. A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation at this level.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook over the front garden and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are all generously proportioned, offering flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or home working. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring a freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower with rainfall head, and contemporary fittings throughout.

Externally, the property is set within beautifully maintained gardens. The front garden is arranged in a traditional cottage style, with established planting including apple, pear, and willow trees, creating a charming and private setting. To the rear, a generous patio provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto an additional lawned area. A particular feature of the garden is the insulated garden office, fully equipped with power, heating, and internet, offering an excellent space for home working or creative use.

Woodside occupies a delightful semi-rural position within the village of Sandleheath, offering a balance of countryside living with convenient access to nearby amenities and surrounding towns. In summary, Woodside is an exceptional period home, combining character, space, and modern convenience in a highly desirable village setting, with beautifully landscaped gardens and versatile accommodation ideally suited to contemporary family life.
