The Property
Entering Lodge Farm House via the front door we are welcomed by the impressive entrance hallway, original chequered tile flooring line the space and a charming dogleg staircase rises to the floors above. To either side of the hall we find the first two impressive reception rooms. On the right we enter the sitting room where our eye is drawn to the impressive fireplace housing a wood burning stove. A large window fills the room with natural light and timber floor boards line the room. Across the hall we find the formal dining room, this exceptional room offers a superb space to entertain, a large window again fills the room with natural light and an ornate fire offers a charming focal point. A door from here leads to the rear hall whilst back in the main hallway we step to the rear into the family kitchen dining room. This room really is the hub of the home, french doors open to the walled courtyard whilst windows to the side and rear enjoy a view of the gardens. The kitchen itself is fitted with an attractive range of base units which incorporate a dish washer, stainless steel sink and we find an Agra fitted. ample workspace is created with addition of a large island whilst space remains for a sizable dining table. Passing the pantry we find the rear hall which leads to the cloakroom and a door opens to the snug. The smaller of the rooms still offers superb proportions and enjoys a view of the gardens whilst wood burning stove is set adjacent to the original bread oven providing a cosy place to unwind. Climbing the stairs we arrive on the first floor where we find a large study/library.
