Woodside West is an exceptionally attractive, traditional sandstone property dating from the Eighteen nineties, occupying an elevated position with stunning views in one of the older, highly regarded areas within the town. Set within extensive beautifully kept private gardens with a woodland surround, the house enjoys an unusually high degree of privacy, the garden being particularly sheltered.

There is an absolutely delightful bluebell wood which provides a haven for wild birds, situated to the rear and above the house, with open fields beyond, which extends to approximately one acre in total.
