The Property
Entering this unique home via the original front door we are welcomed in via the entrance porch where terracotta tiles line the space and a leaded window looks back onto the grounds, a door opens from here into the entrance hall where we are met with a spiral staircase rising to the first floor. To our left we enter the sitting room, a superbly proportioned room filled with natural light from windows to two aspects. A feature brick fireplace houses the wood burner and creates a cosy focal point to the space. Stepping back across the hall we find the dining room which flows open plan into the kitchen. The dining room enjoys French doors opening to the gardens whilst practical tiled flooring is found. In the kitchen an extensive range of wooden fronted units offer ample storage and working space above. A fitted double oven, hob and extractor feature whilst the sink is set below a window looking onto the gardens. From the kitchen we step into the the second entrance hall area where a door opens to the patio outside and a second staircase rises to the first floor. At the foot of the stairs we find the utility and cloakroom fitted with a wash basin and w/c whilst a large walk in store houses the laundry equipment. Completing the ground floor accommodation we find the third reception room. This versatile room currently serves as a second living space with a window looking to the gardens and French doors opening to the side of the plot. An open fire creates a focal point to the room whilst attractive exposed floorboards are found underfoot. Climbing the stairs at this end of the house we arrive on the landing and find the first three double bedrooms and family bathroom. The larger of these offers a superb double room with fitted storage, whilst the further two rooms offer ample space for double bedroom furnishings and both feature vanity basins. The family bathroom offers a bath with shower above, wash basin, w/c and bidet. Returning to the landing we arrive at the top of the spiral staircase where we access the master bedroom. This superb bedroom makes no compromise on space and enjoys a view over the entrance to the estate. Two doors open to the en-suite facilities serving the room. A lavatory area offers a w/c and wash basin whilst the separate bathroom space is fitted with large corner set whirl pool bath. This completes the accommodation.

Outside
From Church Road we enter the site passing the decorative pillars and timber gates that enter the Estate. The Lodge is situated to the left of the entrance where we pass the hedged boundary to the foot of the garden and find the off-road parking. Iron railings line the external boundary and a personal gate offers pedestrian access. The garden itself offers a superb space laid to lawn and planted with a range of established trees and mature shrubs. A large patio area frames a nature pond and offers the perfect spot for summer entertaining whilst a path continues past a raised flowerbed leading to both of the doors that access the house. The path returns to the iron pedestrian gate. At the foot of the garden the the off road parking area offers space to be further expanded or build a garage/cart lodge (stpp).
