Description Built in 2006, The Lodge is an impressively designed Neo-Georgian residence, finished to the highest of standards, where attention has been paid to every detail to create a home filled with charm & character. The Lodge is approached through wrought iron electric gates, which lead to a sweeping avenue, with views to the house and over the surrounding paddock. To the front of the house is a large gravel sweep, which provides generous parking and is bordered by attractive shrub and flower beds. This graciously proportioned residence is laid out over two levels, and extends to approximately 410.7sq.m (4420.5 sq.ft). The interior of the house is filled with an abundance of period style features, including cornicing, centre roses and marble fireplaces.

The arrangement of the accommodation, combined with elegant room proportions and an abundance of natural light, lends this home to comfortable and practical family living. The property is entered through a period style six-panelled front door with fanlight leading to the Entrance Hall, with tiled floor and two doors leading to the Reception/Dining Hall. The magnificent double height Reception Hall contains a stunning, sweeping double staircase and large fireplace with decorative mantelpiece. This room was originally designed to allow for space for a dining table, and it is easy to see that this room would provide an elegant backdrop for formal entertaining. The principal reception rooms are accessed off the reception hall and include drawing and sitting rooms with interconnecting doors, both rooms contain beautiful marble fireplaces, as well as floor length ‘tilt and turn’ picture windows, making the most of the views over the landscaped gardens. Two separate doors from the hall lead to the conservatory, which is currently laid out as a dining room, with a tiled floor and doors leading to the terrace area. The kitchen/breakfast room contains an oil-fired Stanley range cooker and a range of fitted wall and floor units. Situated to the rear of the kitchen is a utility room, hot-press and scullery which leads to the double garage. The property benefits from flexible accommodation with two downstairs bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, which are situated to the front of the property. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, including the master with ensuite bathroom and dressing area. There is further bathroom between two other upstairs bedrooms.

Outside, The Lodge is clad in attractive climbers, including roses, clematis and wisteria, and surrounded by beautifully designed well-stocked herbaceous borders and lawns. A particular feature is the ‘Potager’ vegetable garden, which has been laid out in traditional style with box hedging and enclosed by espalier crab apple trees. The lands extend to c. 8 acres and are currently laid out in grass, with mown paths winding past spinneys of unusual specimen trees with underplanted spring bulbs. A stream runs through the border of The Lodge, past a mature shrub border, planted for year-round colour with azaleas, rhododendrons and roses, and through a pond backed by candelabra primulas, with two bridges leading to a pleasant wooded area.
