Description

East Lodge is a well-presented four bedroom detached period family home occupying a delightful position within its grounds of about 0.38 acre. The property comes with a total of four bedrooms at first floor level including a principal bedroom suite with en suite shower room and the remaining bedrooms being serviced by a family bathroom. At ground floor there is an entrance hall which is open plan to a large sitting room with central fireplace and double doors leading out onto the main rear terrace. Other reception areas include a study which provides ample space for working from home and a dining room which provides excellent entertaining space and links well with the vaulted family room with exposed ceiling rafters and corner stove with attractive outlook over the rear gardens. The kitchen has a range of floor and wall mounted units including cupboard and drawer sections and work surfaces over. There is space for a table and chairs and access through to the utility room with its work surfaces and sink, as well as space for appliances.

The detached annexe is a particularly useful building and offers flexible accommodation. A door opens onto the entrance hall with access directly into the sitting/dining room which is vaulted with a staircase rising to a first floor study. A ground floor kitchen with units, work surfaces and sink is an ideal arrangement with a ground floor bedroom and ground floor bathroom, a really useful space. An external staircase rises up on the side of the building to a first floor studio at one end with kitchenette area and separate shower room. An integral shed provides excellent storage for garden machinery and tools.

The property is approached via a 5-bar gate which opens out onto a gravel drive which meanders down to the parking/turning area. The grounds are attractively arranged and generally laid to lawn with attractive planting with more formal south facing gardens lying to the rear of the property. A large expanse of terrace at the rear provides excellent space for outdoor entertaining and the lawns run down to the boundary adjoining the field at the rear which provides a fantastic backdrop out over some of Hampshire’s finest countryside.
