With its pastel painted elevations and lattice windows, Beech Tree Lodge is an attractive period property which offers light and airy accommodation, and a pleasing open ambience ideally suited to present-day lifestyles. The reception hall gives access into an impressive kitchen/living space which offers a sociable hub of the home with bi-fold doors providing a connection to the rear garden. Fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, topped with stone work surfaces, the kitchen features a Belfast sink, attractive mosaic tiling within the stove recess and a breakfast bar unit, with ancillary space offered by the adjoining utility room.

A spacious sitting room provides a separate reception space with French doors opening to the front garden, and a ground floor study offers a quiet place to work.

On the first floor, the roomy landing gives access to the four bedrooms and the well-appointed family bathroom. The principal room offers a tranquil retreat, featuring a picture window which allows natural light to flood inside, two walk-in wardrobes and a stylish en suite bathroom.

Evergreen hedging fronts the lane with a gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to the garage. A low-level stone wall marks the edge of the drive and an area of lawn is bordered by mature shrubs, whilst a Wisteria adorns the façade of the property creating an attractive frontage to the home. A series of steps rise to the entrance and to the side a wrought-iron gate provides a route to the rear garden. Mature trees create a sense of seclusion and beds are filled with a lovely selection of architectural and floral shrubs and perennial plants. An area of paving spans the rear of the house with steps and a decorative archway marking access to the grassed section of the garden. Sheltered by a timber pergola, with planting over, a raised timber deck provides the perfect spot to sit, dine and relax in this delightful outdoor sanctuary.
