Description:
Sheepdrove Lodge was originally built in the early 1900’s and although was extended in the 1970’s it has retained a great deal of its original charm and character. The house offers excellent family accommodation of 4685 ft.² and has been designed with the principal rooms facing south, overlooking the garden and with lovely views beyond. The property offers light accommodation throughout and has been a wonderful family home for the last 50 years. The ground floor provides ample space and rooms for family living, and on the first floor the principal bedroom, with ensuite and dressing room, has stunning views. There are 7 further bedrooms and a family bathroom and 2 shower rooms, which means the accommodation is very well balanced between the two floors providing excellent space throughout.
Outside:
The property is approached via a sweeping drive which provides access to the property and the integral double garage which has an area to one side for storage. On entering the drive to one side is the stable yard where there is a stable block providing three stables, tack room and barn, with power and water. The garden is an attractive feature of Sheepdrove Lodge. It surrounds the house and has a principal south facing aspect, although there will be sun in the garden at all times of the day. In front of the property, there is a raised terrace, with a charming small gazebo to one side, beyond which the garden falls away, through apple trees, to a large area of flat lawn. Behind the property is a terrace which is ideal for outside entertaining and and the garden contains an abundance of trees and shrubs, including an avenue of cherry trees. To the rear of the stable block and extending behind the garden there are three railed paddocks, with 2 water troughs. There is separate access into the land from Sheepdrove Road.
