Features of note include attractive fireplaces, high ceilings, elaborate cornicing in the hall and landing areas, heavy panelled doors, deep architraves, sash windows, working window shutters to the morning room, period-style radiators and pine flooring in many of the rooms. The traditional-style kitchen is the heart of the house, being a good size and with a four-oven Aga as a centrepiece and with direct access into the family room.
Woodside House is approached via an electric gated access, with clipped yew hedging and a gravel driveway. A gravel path provides access to the front of the house and the parking area lies to the side, together with a double garage. To the rear is a paved terrace providing a delightful eating area with access to the heated indoor pool, set in wood chalet (currently unused and requiring some repairs).

The gardens stretch away from the house to an expanse of lawn split over two levels, interspersed and bounded by an abundance of mature specimen trees and shrubs providing a high level of privacy and seclusion. Trees include mature oaks, beeches, poplars and a fine tulip tree.
A five bar gate provides access to a fenced paddock with a further gate out to Romford Road.
