Wood Farm Lane, Woodville

This exquisite Grade II listed farmhouse has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully extended, the result of an exhaustive renovation that marries timeless character with modern-day luxury. Every detail has been approached with a clear mantra: preserve the beauty of the original building while crafting a versatile home for 21st-century living. The outcome is nothing short of breathtaking – a residence of around 3,540 sq. ft. where period charm meets contemporary comfort. Exposed beams and heritage features sit effortlessly alongside light-filled living spaces designed for family life, entertaining, and quiet moments alike.

Set on a landscaped plot of around 0.2 acres, the private gardens create an oasis that feels cut off from the wider world. This is a place where mornings are slow and contemplative, where long summer afternoons spill out across the lawn, and where evenings close in with a sense of peace that only a home of this character can deliver.
This is not just a renovation. It is a dialogue between past and present – a house that proves old buildings can evolve, and in doing so, become something truly remarkable.

From the moment you step through the wide entrance door, you know you’re home. A gorgeous Minton-tiled floor lies underfoot, high ceilings rise above, and around you unfolds a wealth of elegant, light-filled living space. To your right, a wonderful sitting room enjoys dual-aspect windows and a walk-in glazed bay with French doors leading directly to the garden. At its heart, a beautiful fireplace with an inset log-burning stove sets the tone for relaxed evenings by the fire.

Across the hall, the second reception room mirrors the sense of comfort and style – a bay-fronted haven fitted as a cinema room, complete with concealed recesses for electronics and integrated ceiling speakers. The perfect setting for a family movie night, popcorn included.

At the very heart of the home lies the showpiece: a stunning open plan living, dining, and kitchen space. The contemporary extension has transformed the room, centred around a magnificent full-width oak-framed glazed window that floods the space with natural light. Sleek cabinetry, gleaming quartz worktops, and integrated appliances combine form and function, with space for dining table, while the log-burning stove creates a cosy nook for winter evenings and hot chocolate.

Hidden behind a stylish panelled wall, a secret door reveals a chic guest cloakroom. Beyond the kitchen, a rear hall leads to a second kitchen and beneath the stairs access to the cellars below.

For those working from home, a door from the kitchen opens into an excellent dual-aspect home office – complete with a sitting area and a delightful surprise. Behind its feature wall, a hidden door swings open to reveal the speakeasy gin bar – the perfect way to unwind after the working day.

A third reception room offers bespoke cabinetry offering tonnes of storage, a delightful window seat, and internal access to the double garage. From this room a feature staircase rises to a versatile additional space – ideal as a second office, playroom, or guest bedroom – lit by inset skylights and sleek LED runway lighting.

Upstairs, the part-galleried landing overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens below. The principal bedroom features a period fireplace and a luxurious refitted en-suite shower room with a walk-in rainfall shower and seamless contemporary finishes. Across the landing, the matching bedroom has been transformed into a sumptuous dressing room, with bespoke shelving and hanging space. A further corridor leads to a stunning family bathroom – a spa-like retreat with a curved freestanding bath, twin floating vanities, and an oversized walk-in rainfall shower.

At the end of the hall, the original servant stairs descend to the kitchen, and another generous king-size bedroom enjoys dual-aspect windows. A rare and practical touch for a British home, there’s also a first-floor laundry room – a nod to continental living – with space for laundry appliances, storage, and a sink.

Climb again to the top floor and you’re met with a charming landing with seating area, where a pine latch door opens onto two beautifully proportioned bedrooms. Exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and timber trusses give the feeling of a romantic countryside retreat. A shared shower room completes this upper level.
Outside, the home is set along a shared private drive approach with ample parking and a double garage with electric doors. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and maturely planted, offering privacy and calm – a true retreat from the everyday. Multiple terraces invite outdoor entertaining, from quiet morning coffee to summer evenings with friends. A covered hot tub area, a circular pond with waterfall and garden stream, and a timber workshop complete this idyllic setting.
