Description
Woodside is an exceptional period home, discreetly positioned down a private drive in the highly desirable village of Acton Turville. This substantial wing of an impressive building, originally constructed by the Duke of Beaufort in 1903 as a hotel for hunting guests, is accompanied by a wonderful large garden. After serving the Red Cross during both World Wars, the building was converted into three dwellings in the early 1970s, with Woodside forming the north-eastern wing. It presents excellent, light, and spacious accommodation extending to approximately 2,139 sq.ft., featuring spectacular high ceilings and elegant proportions characteristic of its period.
On the ground floor, an entrance hall leads to a high-quality, custom-built kitchen/dining room. The formal drawing room offers a double aspect and includes a charming stone fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove. A second reception room provides a comfortable snug, off which there is a practical utility room and a boot/boiler room. A grand staircase rises to the first floor landing and there is a downstairs WC beneath. On the first floor there are four generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite enjoys delightful views over the gardens and benefits from an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe.
Approached via a private drive shared by a handful of homes, Woodside boasts ample private off-street parking alongside a double garage with power connected. Externally, the property features an exceptionally large lawned garden to the side, which wraps around to the front of the house beside a picturesque pond. Additionally, the property includes a strip of woodland, ideal for recreational use, providing a lovely screened outlook and enhancing the sense of seclusion.
