The Lodge is a detached, 3/4-bedroom home which has been extended and refurbished to create space for modern family living. Originally a gatehouse to 'The Elms', the property is built from Bath stone and has period details such as arched and bay windows with bonnet roofs and triple chimney stacks, and is approached via double wrought iron gates onto a driveway with generous turning space and a good-sized garage.
Inside, it's obvious from the contemporary hallway, with wooden parquet flooring, white walls and ceiling spot lights that extensive refurbishment has been lovingly applied. To the left, there are two Reception Rooms - one currently set up as an Office and occasional Bedroom, the other as a cosy Sitting Room, both with fireplaces and the latter with a wood burner. Ahead, there's a WC and staircase and to the right, steps down to the 'heart of the home', the exceptional Kitchen/Dining/Living Room. Here, soft grey units with white worktops stretch the length of two of the walls and include four ovens, while an island unit with induction hob on one side and breakfast bar on the other sepa-rates the cooking and living spaces. It's a flexible family space: double-height ceilings and large glass doors and win-dows with views onto the garden allow light to flood in during the day and there's space for a large sofa as well a family dining table.
Upstairs, there's a generous main bedroom with views on to the park and ensuite, two more bedrooms and a spa-cious family bathroom with shower and freestanding bath.

Gardens and Grounds: The gated driveway offers both security and a sense of seclusion to this property - and there's plenty of space for parking too - with more in the detached garage. The south-facing garden is mostly laid to lawn, with raised beds at its perimeter and enclosed by Laurel hedging on two sides and wooden fencing on the oth-er, with a private gate that leads through to the grounds of the park beyond. There's a patio area for outside dining and wisteria climbing the stone walls at the rear.
