Woodroffes Barn, Costock

Smiths Property Experts are delighted to be favoured with instructions to market this beautiful period property in the heart of Costock. Woodroffes Barn is a magical family home complete with established gardens and living space full of character and interest.

The property, a charming conversion of former barns and stables, has been lovingly maintained by the current owners for the past forty years. The principal accommodation features exposed beams and beautiful fireplaces. The versatile layout lends itself well to multi-generational living, with secondary accommodation that provides excellent annexe potential.

Overall, the living space is currently laid out to include six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and six reception rooms. The property features a generous gravel-laid driveway to the front, as well as substantial outbuildings, including a double garage and a workshop.

The floor area measures approximately 2,773 square feet (excluding the garage, workshop, and store). The principal accommodation centres around a beautiful dining hall with a vaulted ceiling and full-height glazing to both the front and rear of the property. This leads, in turn, to a kitchen/breakfast room, a sitting room, a snug with an open fire, and a downstairs shower room. The reception rooms are each individually full of character and interest, featuring period details that contribute to the property’s warm and inviting feel.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted in a timeless shaker style, complete with granite work surfaces and a traditional gas AGA range cooker. Meanwhile, the sitting room, featuring a box bay and French doors that lead to the rear gardens, boasts a wonderful Inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove inset.

Stairs from the dining hall rise to the first floor, where you will find three bedrooms, with a galleried landing leading to a fourth bedroom and a four-piece bathroom. Three of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, and there is generous fitted storage on the landing. Beyond the kitchen, an internal hall leads to the secondary accommodation, a utility room, and an orangery with outlooks across the delightful rear gardens.

The secondary accommodation is extremely versatile, providing exceptional annexe potential or as it is currently utilised for when our vendors have family or guests visit. The space is currently laid out as a study, a music room, and two generously sized double bedrooms. One benefits from an en-suite shower room, and the second has a separate w.c.

The property forms part of a beautiful conversion of former farm buildings and is accessed via a private, shared driveway directly off the main street in the heart of this traditional village.

The main house is set back behind established front gardens. There is a private, gravel in-and-out driveway to the left-hand side, providing generous off-road parking and access to a substantial double garage with a separate stable door, as well as store with an up-and-over door that in turn leads to a generous workshop. A pathway leads to the side door, and there are steps up to the double front door.

The rear gardens are mainly laid to lawn. There is a generous L-shaped seating terrace leading out from the orangery and main sitting room. The gardens feature beautiful, mature borders and a working area to the rear, complete with a greenhouse.

Main House approximately 2,773 square feet.

Garages and Outbuildings approximately 705 square feet.
