House
Woodville sits within extensive, beautifully maintained mature gardens extending to two thirds of an acre. The property is set back behind wrought iron gates and approached by a private driveway, lined with Lime and Sycamore trees, which leads to a circular gravel drive at the front of the house. The garden features an assortment of specimen trees including a Deodar, which was planted in the 1940s, and a delicate weeping Birch.
There is also a large, sweeping lawn surrounded by flowerbeds abundant with a variety of roses, rhododendrons, delphiniums and dahlias and colourful herbaceous borders which ensure that the garden remains colourful throughout the changing seasons. To the rear there are well-planted rockeries and a spacious, timber clad home office, converted from the original coach house and stable block. The property also benefits from a peaceful south facing seating area, an ornamental summerhouse and secure parking for multiple vehicles.
