The Property 
Woodside is a well-loved detached period home packed full of wonderful original features and elegant, grand touches such as high ceilings, ornate cornicing and architraves, and stone fireplaces. The mature gardens and large greenhouse are a dream for gardeners and the second floor offers great flexible accommodation options. Set in a leafy, green location in the village of Great Corby, Woodside has the best of both country living and an active community.

A glazed door from the vestibule leads into a large entrance hall with impressive decorative arched cornicing and staircase rising to the first floor. The main reception rooms open off the hallway; the dual aspect sitting room with unique brickwork fireplace, the dual aspect dining room with striking bay window and solid wood flooring, and the spacious family room with imposing stone fireplace and views out over the rear garden. A conservatory with stone tiled floor and double doors into the garden is also accessed from the family room and an additional room, ideal as a home office, is set off the conservatory, providing peace and quiet from the main house.

Across the hall is the kitchen, full of wonderful period charm offering a good range of wall and floor units, gas fired aga, separate electric Gorenje oven, microwave and hob, space for a dishwasher and fridge, and a lovely place to breakfast. A rear porch leads to the back door and at the end of the hall is a handy downstairs WC.

The staircase to the first floor and the landing are flooded with light coming through a beautiful tall stained glass window, leading the way to three double bedrooms, all dual aspect, and a generous family bathroom with built-in storage. The principal bedroom features an ensuite shower room with corner shower cubicle and WC, and built-in wardrobes, whilst the second bedroom to the front of the house also has built-in wardrobes.

The second floor loft conversion offers great flexibility and is currently used as a guest bedroom, but would also make an ideal snug or play room. There is also separate eaves storage.

Externally 
Woodside is accessed via a driveway to the side of the house leading up to the detached garage with electric door. Attached to the garage is a fabulous timber-framed greenhouse with potting benches. The well-tended rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with planted borders and mature shrubs and trees, and paths and a pergola lead off around the edges. A similar lawn with a path to the front door sits to the front of the property. Several paved and gravelled areas around the gardens, including beside the conservatory, offer pretty spots to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
