About the home
Woodlands House has a lovely, homely feel from the moment you walk through the door. Its original period features give the home plenty of character, while modern touches make it comfortable and easy to settle into. It’s a place that feels familiar and welcoming, with lots of little details that make it feel like home. A grand hallway leads through to a spacious lounge, perfect for company and a chat, while a cosy library offers a quieter spot for the readers among us. The bright dining room turns mealtimes into a proper occasion, somewhere to look forward to rather than simply pass through.

It’s the kind of home where every space, indoors and out, feels comfortable and easy to settle into.
