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. It offers very well presented and beautifully
proportioned accommodation with a whole host of pleasing original period
features, notably paneled doors and beautiful parquet flooring. It has
been sympathetically extended to one side with the addition of a large
conservatory, which provides a lovely additional public sitting area overlooking
the garden. 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.
