ELECTRIC cast iron gates open into Woodfield House’s driveway and rolling grounds surrounding Doon Lake. This 5,000sq ft country manor is described by sales agent Clare Tipp Properties as “peaceful living assured in a secure and scenic surround, amid mature sheltering trees”.

There are four stables in the courtyard, three store rooms and a coach house with an enormous loft area.

A fine restoration job throughout Woodfield’s three-storey interior has resulted in a  respectable BER of C in this oil-fired property. Reception rooms are bolstered by access to the barbeque and al fresco dining area. In the lower garden level, there’s a leisure room kitchen laundry room, sauna wet room, office and oodles of room for a wine cellar. Some bedrooms run to 19’ and several are en suite.
