The impressive open plan dining kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams with both the dining and seating area having bi-folding doors creating a wonderful flow from in to out. The kitchen area itself has a comprehensive range of timber-built units with all integrated appliances, a large island with a breakfast bar and an AGA.

Outside - Staddle Barn Lodge is approached through electric gates and onto a sweeping gravel drive with room for ample cars, with additional parking being available in the garage and cart barn. To the rear the majority of the expansive garden is laid to lawn and beautifully planted with established plants and shrubs providing year round interest. A terrace wraps around the property offering wonderful spaces for outdoor entertaining during the warmer months. The gardens have open countrywide views affording a real sense of privacy. These glorious views can also be enjoyed from the all-weather tennis court, well located in the left hand corner of the plot.
