NO ONWARD CHAIN. Beautifully presented six bedroom period home with a detached home office and planning to extend, set in established gardens on the edge of town.


Description

The Lodge is a charming period home dating from the late 1790’s with later additions and benefits from implemented planning permission to extend further. The property has been within the same family for over 30 years and has been finished to a high specification. Features include a bespoke kitchen, ceiling timbers, tiled, brick and oak flooring, exposed brick and attractive fireplaces. Further improvements include insulation, double glazed, an ‘A’ rated condensing gas boiler and a gas fired AGA also provides hot water resulting in an EPC rating C. Also of note is a large detached heated garage, which benefits from a professional car lift, for the car enthusiast. It is double height and can accommodate 3 cars. The house sits within established gardens with mature planting and amounts to about 0.63 acres, and is well located for schools, town and the station.

The principal reception rooms comprise a spacious sitting room and a triple aspect dining room both featuring attractive brick fireplaces. There is also a study with an outlook to the front garden.

The impressive bespoke kitchen/breakfast/family room is a wonderful area for everyday family living. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke wall and base cupboards with a matching island unit. There is a 4 oven gas AGA, an electric hob and oven, a dishwasher and twin fridges.

The family room is glazed to three sides and has direct access to the garden.

There is a well-appointed utility room with space for appliances and a bathroom completing the ground floor.

Arranged over the first floor is the main bedroom which is double aspect and served by an en suite shower room.

There are three further bedrooms on this floor and a well-appointed shower room.

The second floor comprises two further bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and a shower room.

An electrically operated gated gravel driveway leads to generous guest parking and the detached garage. There is a store room with sink and separate WC on the ground floor and a spacious home office/studio on the first floor with air conditioning and network connections. This building offers potential to enlarge the first floor and convert to accommodation.

The Lodge has direct access to full fibre internet.

The attractive and established gardens provide a high degree of privacy and are principally laid to lawn with a variety of trees and shrubs. There is a paved terrace ideal for al fresco entertaining and, within the garden, a brick shed. A traditional well provides water for the garden.

An architect designed extension would provide a luxury principal bedroom suite, with feature vaulted ceilings, plus an extra bedroom, or a walk-in wardrobe.
