9 bedroom detached house

The Lodge was originally built in around 1850 as a two-bedroom cottage, subsequently extended to offer almost 5,300 sq. ft. of flexible two-storey accommodation including a self-contained annexe. Configured to provide a stunning family and entertaining space featuring a wealth of wooden flooring, the accommodation flows from separate reception and entrance halls. It comprises a sitting room with bay window, fireplace with woodburner and bi-fold doors to a bar with en suite boot and cloakroom and doors to the forecourt, and a study with fireplace and double doors to a vaulted oak-framed conservatory with freestanding woodburner and French doors to the garden. There is also a separate fitted utility room and a generous kitchen with high-gloss wall and base units including a breakfast bar, modern integrated appliances, walk-in larder and neighbouring dining room with French doors to a decked terrace.

The first floor provides a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite shower room, an additional vaulted bedroom with en suite shower room, three further bedrooms, gym and family rooms, and a family bathroom.

A separate annexe entrance hall gives access to a family room with bi-fold doors to a decked terrace, fitted kitchen and shower room, a vaulted first floor T.V. room and two bedrooms, the whole easily re-integrated into the main house via a door to the family room.

The property is approached through double wooden gates over a block-paved forecourt providing extensive private parking and giving access to the double garage. The enclosed garden is laid mainly to lawn and features raised decked terraces off the dining room and annexe, paved forecourt terraces and a paved area with summer house , all ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
