In recent years we have made some significant changes to the house, adding a beautiful master bedroom and en-suite, and have created another very large room in the roof that we currently use as a gym, but it would also make another generous room large enough to add another en-suite if desired. We have kept the décor fairly neutral and everything behind the scenes, has been brought up to modern standards, so there is nothing for the new owners to do except move in and put their stamp on it.

We hare around two- and-a -half acres of land and the house sits on the edge. We have always loved its position because it means we can enjoy beautiful views from the house across the grounds, all the way to the woodland beyond and surrounding farmland. It’s a lovely setting and so very peaceful. Our nearest neighbour is a couple of hundred metres away so we have never felt isolated, but within the property you definitely feel away from it all.

The main lounge is another really lovely room it is a generous size with a large fireplace and oak mantle as the main focal point, it is a stunning feature. With a roaring fire it is a very cosy place to settle down on a cold evening.*

It is the oldest part of the house and has a beautiful vaulted ceiling as well as having a lot of character enhances the feeling of space. A lovely room for day- to- day life and entertaining.

Harvel Lodge Pages V2.indd 9 15/02/2017 15:27 Harvel Lodge Pages V2.indd 10 15/02/2017 15:27 We have decided to move closer to our family, but it is need rather than desire that has persuaded us to do so. This has been a wonderful home for over thirty years there is so much that we and the grandchildren will miss. It’s peaceful, private and incredibly beautiful here. We will be very sad to move.
