6 bedroom detached house for sale
Key information
Property description & features
Occupying a prominent position in the rural parish of Aldham Tye, Samsons Lodge once formed a row of terraced houses, which were subsequently adapted and extended into one dwelling, totalling in excess of 3,600sq.ft. One of the most notable features of the house is the extensive range of windows, all of which have been replaced by the current owners. Internally the accommodation displays a mix of imposing 19th century alterations, whilst numerous original features remain which include extensive wall and ceiling beams and former diamond mullion windows to the first floor.
To the northern end of the house is the full-width kitchen / breakfast room which is comprehensively fitted with numerous cupboards, drawers and integral appliances which includes a Rangemaster gas hob and oven. An oak worksurface is fitted on two walls which also includes a central work 'island' with further storage under.
In addition to two rear hallways with each having respective cloakrooms and ample storage cupboards, the ground floor comprises three well-proportioned reception rooms, all of which provide working fireplaces. To the southern end of the house is a utility / laundry room with further worksurfaces and an adjoining pantry / store.
Accessed via a central landing with two separate stairs, five of the six bedrooms are to the front which all enjoy a westerly aspect over the walled part of the garden. Bedroom one is twin aspect giving further rural views, with walk-in wardrobes and a corner ensuite shower room. All other bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and an additional shower room.
Outside, the property is approached via two shingle driveways; the main is accessed via the Whatfield Road which leads to the central parking area defined by the outbuildings. A further driveway is to the north, which is accessed via a minor country lane.
The gardens comprise mainly of two sections, where the front (west) is part walled with a large pond defined by lawn with a row of mature lime trees. To the rear (east) an extensive lawn gently ascends to the far boundary, giving far-reaching views over undulating countryside. A more formal area of garden is immediately to the rear of the house which is defined by an unusual castellated red brick wall.
The extensive range of outbuildings include numerous lock-up stores, an open two bay cart lodge with an adjacent garage with electric roller shutter door. In the same range is a full converted home office / annex with bi-fold doors onto the rear garden. The principal outbuilding comprises a substantial detached barn with mezzanine floor storage which offers good scope for conversion.
