A Characterful Cottage with Endless Potential in the Heart of Old Woodhouse
Tucked away in the picturesque village of Old Woodhouse, this Grade II Listed detached granite-built cottage offers a rare opportunity to reimagine a true piece of local heritage. With its Wisteria-draped façade, original leaded windows and Swithland slate roof, this is a home brimming with charm and period character, ready to be lovingly restored and taken into its next chapter.
Sitting beautifully, the cottage opens up to reveal an unexpectedly spacious layout and a generous mature garden to the rear, a secret sanctuary framed by trees, hedgerows and bursting with wildflowers and a magnificent apple tree.
Step inside via the side driveway and you’re welcomed into a dining hall, where the exposed beams and an original brick fireplace set the tone. Thoughtful nooks and cupboard space nod to the home’s historic charm. To the rear, a garden room with exposed granite walls and glazed doors draw your eyes down the length of the garden, offering the perfect canvas for a light-filled living or entertaining space.
To the front of the home sits a beamed sitting room, complete with a gas fire (currently disconnected). The adjoining kitchen offers tiled flooring, fitted cupboards, a compact breakfast bar, and space for appliances, with a practical boot room and cloakroom WC beyond.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms, two with built-in storage, are served by a bathroom with shower attachment.
Outside, the substantial granite-built garage/workshop provides exciting potential for conversion, subject to relevant permissions, ideal for use as a studio, office or additional accommodation.
Perfectly placed in a sought-after village setting and brimming with original features, this is a home that captures the essence of rural charm—a rare find with scope to create something truly special.
