Location

Woodside is situated on a no through lane shared with one other cottage. Although currently in close proximity to the main A417, a major new road scheme is already underway to improve the A417. The first section of this is scheduled for opening in Autumn 2025/Spring 2026 when the cottage will benefit hugely from the main road to the front of Woodside becoming a country lane, only accessing the village/hamlets of Stockwell and Cowley, https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/south-west/a417-missing-link/

Description

Woodside is a semi detached Cotswold stone cottage, thought to date from around 1890, and substantially extended in the 1970's. The property is presented in lovely order and makes a comfortable and private home that is going to benefit hugely from the major road changes in the area.   The accommodation is in superb order and comprises an entrance hall with coats and boots storage leading to a large living room (previously two rooms) with windows to front and rear and a fitted woodburner, fitted bookshelves and storage cupboards. Beyond is an inner hall with fitted bar area with built in wine fridge, and a door into the dining room. This room has double doors out to the garden and further fitted shelving and cupboards. Off the inner hall is a small study and a cloakroom with utility cupboard ideal for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The kitchen lies to the rear of the house and is well fitted with floor and wall cupboards, a range cooker and fitted appliances, with a window to the rear and door out to the gardens. On the first floor are four good sized bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, and a well appointed family bathroom and separate shower room.

The property is approached off the lane through electric double opening gates. There is a large gravelled area with parking for numerous vehicles leading to a detached three bay car port with power and light. The heated outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by timber decking, a separate hot tub and a decked dining area. The gardens are laid to lawns and terraces with two ponds, interspersed with gravel pathways and flower and shrub borders. There is also a firepit seating area, a Boules court and wood store, shed and workshop. The gardens back on to fields with some lovely views and are very private.
