PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Occupying a seriously secluded and mature setting, Teddington Cottage is approached through the historic surroundings of Woodstock Desmesne and lies close to the banks of the tidal River Nore. The property is set on approximately 1.8 acres and offers a rare combination of woodland, river frontage, patio spaces and a highly distinctive historic residence.

TEDDINGTON COTTAGE
The cottage was originally built as part of the Woodstock Desmesne in the late 1790s and has the charm and character of a Hansel and Gretel cottage. In 2001, the property was redesigned, modernised and extended by a former Chairman of the Crafts Council of Ireland, resulting in a distinctive home which combines period character with dramatic contemporary living accommodation.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is notable for its warmth, scale and strong connection to the surrounding woodland. The original cottage provides intimate and characterful spaces, while the later extension creates an impressive principal living area designed for light, entertaining and everyday comfort. At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen/lounge/dining room, extending to approximately 30 feet long by 20 feet wide. This remarkable room sits beneath exposed timber beams and a ceiling height of approximately 20 feet. Wrap-around panoramic triple-glazed windows open directly onto the patio and frame views of the surrounding trees, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the woodland setting.
The room is warmed by underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove, making it equally suited to summer entertaining and winter evenings. The kitchen area is fitted with Kilkenny limestone fossil worktops, providing excellent preparation space. Appliances and fittings include a dishwasher, macerator, microwave/grill, fridge freezer, hot plates and air fryer.
