Providing a wealth of period charm and an abundance of period features throughout, Woodley Field has been sympathetically modernised by the current owners with a fine attention to detail.

This imposing, period residence occupies the eastern wing of the original country house and offers an abundance of period charm. Set back from Allendale Road, and offering an elevated position, the property itself accessed via a long, private driveway which is accessed via new and secure, electronically operated entrance gates. The original building is thought to have been first constructed around 1880's for a William Ritson, who was renowned for his contribution to the regional railway industry.

The driveway also provides a garage and garden store with a modernised annex which could have multiple uses, such as home office, air bnb (subject to planning consent) or home gymnasium. This space also offers a kitchenette, shower room with WC and wood-burning stove.

The grounds and gardens of Woodley Field extend to approximately 1.2 Acres and have been further landscaped to provide an extensive lawned garden that continues around the side and rear of the property, with an abundance of well planted and mature borders, gravelled walkways with stone steps leading down to the lower gardens which give access to a stream and further walks.
