KEY FEATURES
Wood Hall, built in 1589 is approached from a short stretch of cobbles at the bottom of Woodhouse Lane, through stone gate posts and iron gates onto the gravelled driveway with a fountain at its centre. The house’s south facing elevation is separated from the garden by a paved terrace which leads to the porch with the date carved into the stone above the entrance. Interesting details begin the moment you step through one of the property’s two front doors. The winter door, of solid oak, hinged on the right or the summer glazed door hinged to the left that lead into the entrance hall with beautiful Victorian tiles leading your eye through to the rear of the property. From the entrance hall turning right takes you into the drawing room, which is bathed in natural light courtesy of two large windows, one to the east the other to the south, both double glazed with Tudor diamond pattern in keeping with the properties history. The heritage tones of the walls, crisp white ceiling with decorative plaster mouldings and oak flooring make this a very inviting reception room especially with the reassuring warmth coming from the wood burning stove set within the fireplace. Crossing the entrance hall, the dining room has as its focal point, a huge inglenook fireplace surrounded by ornately carved oak, believed to date back to the 17th century, this is combined with the oak parquet floors and another pair of large windows benefiting from views over the garden and to the west. At the rear of Wood Hall one enters the kitchen, which has been re-modelled by the current owners, the space provides a family eating area, seating areas with a long window seat and classic yet modern hand-build kitchen with the quartz work-topped island at its heart, boating a integrated sink, a pair of Miele dishwashers and Liebherr wine fridge, the Aga with additional gas hob and electric oven module sits within the arch of another of the home’s former fireplaces. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a cosy snug, again featuring a wood burning stove, exposed ceiling beams and dual aspect over the rear courtyard, a utility room with wood block worktops over cupboards and ground floor w/c.
