OVERVIEW We are delighted to bring this totally unique offering to the market. "The Lodge" sits in its own elevated grounds of approximately half an acre and comes with a barn conversion that comprises of a duplex cottage, three garages – one being more of a workshop size - and a duplex games room. There is also a substantial brick-built growing room, storage facility and outside w/c.

The census shows "The Poplars" as a fine family home in 1801, later known as "The Lodge" and it is believed to be the oldest house in the village. It is an impressive detached home of some size and comprises of four substantial reception rooms to the ground floor. The good-sized breakfast room has space for seating and an opening to the kitchen creating a family room-style arrangement. There is also a utility room with walk-in pantry, and a separate cloakroom w/c completes the ground floor accommodation of the property.

Returning to the main hall, an impressive solid Oak staircase leads to the split-level first-floor landings and the four double bedrooms. The master bedroom and guest suite/bedroom two both enjoy large bay windows with the latter having a wooden window seat with storage under. The master bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room. The good-sized family bathroom is found through an arch to the left from the top of stairs. There is also a separate rear staircase from the ground-floor breakfast room into what was the servants' quarters – now a dressing area/storage room and study or fifth bedroom.

The converted barn now comprises of a single bedroom cottage with feature first-floor library/sitting room, two single garages and a wider garage / workshop with a hayloft above providing substantial storage space! There is also a ground-floor games room/gym with separate staircase to an additional first-floor games room. All rooms enjoy pleasing garden outlooks.

The spacious grounds have been lovingly cared for over the years and are abundant with a carefully thought-out variety of mature plants, trees and shrubs. The beautiful lawned garden is just the right size and sits between the main residence and the conversion particularly well. There is also a growing/home produce garden and hidden compost area beyond

The Lodge really is a lovely home, full of character features and warmth. The Cottage is ideal for independent family members needing their own space. Opportunities like this rarely come to the market and if you choose to view then we think you will feel the same way. 

GUILDEN SUTTON "The Lodge" and the Cottage enjoy a peaceful position on School Lane in the popular, semi-rural village of Guilden Sutton.
