THE AGENT SAYS...
The Lodge is a most attractive Grade II Listed property with some stunning period details - notably the arched stone mullion windows and the studded oak front door. This lovely semi-detached house has been sympathetically brought up to date for modern living while retaining its historic charm and an aesthetic suited to its countryside location. Outside, there is a delightful garden and the added benefit of a stone outbuilding that contains two garages and a home office/studio space.

PROPERTY
The impressive front door opens to a small hallway with the staircase directly ahead and doors to the ground floor rooms on either side. To the right of the stairs is the sunny south-facing sitting room which is a good size and has a lovely cosy feel. Warm light streams in from two large windows and there is a wood burning stove for an extra boost of warmth on cooler days.

Across the hall is the well-proportioned dining room which also has plenty of light streaming in from windows on two aspects. This charming room can easily seat eight people to dine and there is also space for a small sofa alongside the wood-burning stove. There are two large built-in storage cupboards - a pantry style cupboard nearest the kitchen and a useful understairs cupboard. Adjoining the dining room is the wonderfully rustic kitchen that makes fantastic use of its long and narrow footprint. At the far end, backed by exposed stone, is a single oven range with a chimney extractor above, The full length of the right hand wall has fitted base units topped with a super chunky live edge wooden worktop.

Above this is a tiled splashback topped with a narrow oak shelf with lighting underneath. There is an inset ceramic sink, integrated dishwasher, space/plumbing for a washing machine, and a dedicated recess for a fridge freezer just inside the kitchen entrance.

First Floor
On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a spacious shower room. The principal bedroom is a generous size and has some lovely features: stripped pine floorboards; a pretty cast iron fireplace; stone mullion window with countryside view; and a built-in wardrobe with real wood doors. Bedroom two is a small double room that would be great for guests. The shower room is very smartly finished with a luxurious walk-in shower, back-to-wall WC, countertop basin, and plenty of fitted storage including an airing cupboard for towels and linens.

OUTSIDE
A stable door from the kitchen opens to a small walled courtyard where there is a retractable washing line, bench, covered outdoor store, and space for refuse recycling bins. A pedestrian gate leads out to the drive at the front of the property from where it is a short walk to the main garden which is accessed alongside the outbuilding The garden is laid to lawn with a row of raised beds on one side, a patio at the rear of the outbuilding, and views over open fields at the end.

The outbuilding houses two generous garages on the ground floor which are interconnected by an internal double doors. They each have pedestrian doors at the rear (leading out to the patio) and sliding timber doors for vehicle access from the drive. Adjoining the outbuilding is a large timber carport and log store. Above the garages (accessed via an external staircase) is a fully decorated and insulated home office/studio space with power, lighting, storage, and plenty of light.
