Epc Rating - D

“Woodnook’s imposing façade certainly made a big impression on us when we viewed it for the first time as did its village location and beautiful garden with a stream and waterfall cascading gently down from the surrounding woodland. The added bonus of course is that it’s also within easy reach of villages, market towns, and excellent grammar schools.”

“It’s difficult to choose a favourite room in the house; the entrance hall certainly has a ‘wow’ factor with its central staircase and galleried landing, but then so does the drawing room with its vaulted ceiling, mezzanine, oak panelling, and imposing inglenook fireplace and wood burner. It’s great for cosy nights in and looks fabulous at Christmas as the family tree usually tops 14 feet, much to the delight of the children! The sun room also deserves a special mention as it enjoys the sun throughout the day and is such a lovely place to sit and enjoy the stunning views. In fact, there’s nothing more relaxing than closing your eyes, sitting back, and listening to the gentle cascade of the waterfall.”

“We’ve felt very lucky to have such an amazing, secluded garden and wonderful views. It’s a great entertaining space and playground for the children and we spend a great deal of our time out there in the summer. The waterfall’s exact location seemed to be something of a mystery to villagers when we moved in as we had quite a few locals enquiring whether we could see it from our garden, so it was a pleasure to be able to invite them in to see it for themselves and a great way of getting to know our neighbours.”

“We’ve loved being able to have our families join us for Christmas and have special memories of our children’s christening celebrations here and we’ll miss being surrounded by nature in such a tranquil and secluded setting and the many local walks, especially across country to Caythorpe on a balmy summers evening. For us, Woodnook has been a sanctuary from the stresses of our busy lives and has even made the daily commute to and from London seem worthwhile!”
