Exceptional former lodge house in generous grounds.

Description

Originally dating from 1882, North Lodge is a charming former lodge house which has been sympathetically extended and refurbished in recent years and now represents a wonderful family home offering well planned accommodation. The property enjoys a tranquil position and is conveniently located for the amenities of the village including the excellent local shop and popular public house, The Bulls Head Inn.

There is a generous sized, welcoming reception hall leading to a formal dining room with fireplace and large window facing the front of house. The accommodation flows well and is ideally suited for family life with an impressive drawing room with a log burning stove and access to the gardens. The kitchen/ breakfast room is well appointed and enjoys natural light from the vaulted glass roof lantern. There is ample space to dine and entertain and with easy access to the gardens. There is a utility room and WC which completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor is a good sized landing and four well presented double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and there is also a well appointed family bathroom.

North lodge sits well within its plot of circa 1 acre with both front and rear gardens. There is a delightful patio for outside entertaining and steps up to the sizable lawn. A notable feature is the natural pond, a superb habitat for wildlife.
There is ample parking at the front of the house and a versatile, timber built detached double garage with an attached studio, ideal as as a home office or a gym.
