2 bedroom bungalow for sale

An attractive and historic gatehouse, set in a third of an acre, enjoying parkland and country views on the edge of this regarded village.

Park lodge is a former gatehouse to Redgrave Hall, where once stood a magnificent mansion, built in 1545, and in the late 18th century the grounds were redesigned by the famous gardener, Capability Brown.

Unfortunately, Redgrave Hall fell into a state of neglect, and after WWII, it was demolished due to a lack of money to repair it, and only the footings and foundations remain today.

Park Lodge itself is a detached single-storey home sitting in its own grounds of approximately a third of an acre, set at the curved wall entrance to the hall.

The accommodation, which has oil-fired heating and replacement double-glazed windows, is arranged around a central hall with a double-aspect sitting room to the front with its curved bay window, brick-faced fireplace with matching hearth, housing a wood burning stove, behind which is a modern kitchen, with built-in eye-level double oven, dishwasher, one-and-a-half bowl sink, and multiple wall and base cupboards for storage, and built-in fridge and freezer. Within the old fireplace is a hob with extractor above.

From the kitchen is a small inner lobby leading to the more recent addition of a modern conservatory for enjoyment of the property’s garden, as well as Redgrave Hall’s parkland beyond.

There are two bedrooms, one to the front with a built-in wardrobe cupboard, and another bedroom to the side, which is currently set up as a dining room, both of which have use of the shower room with its large tiled shower cubicle, with adjustable head electric shower, pedestal basin, and low-level WC.
