Description

Broughton Lodge is a Grade II listed Georgian mansion house, converted during the 1980's into stylish apartments and houses. Number 8 Broughton Lodge is situated at the end of an impressive driveway and enjoys a superb aspect over open parkland and woodland.

Accessed via the original Estate's gated entrance, a sweeping drive extends round to the rear of the building, where you will find parking for two cars and a private front door. Upon entering the property, you walk into a welcoming L shaped hall with a dedicated area for removing coats and shoes. The first room you come to on your left hand side is a handy laundry room with fitted shelving and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. Alongside the laundry room is a large under stairs storage cupboard, with additional storage available within the fully boarded and carpeted loft.

Stairs at the far end of the hall lead gracefully to the first-floor landing, which is bright and open, creating an inviting atmosphere. The clever design includes void storage on the half landing, maximising space efficiency. From the landing, you have access to the lounge/diner, two bedrooms, a shower room and the loft. The lounge/diner, extends the full width of the front of the property and benefits from dual-aspect views, allowing natural light to flood the space while offering stunning vistas over the extensive parkland grounds and woodland. The lounge area features an elegant wood panelled wall that adds a touch of sophistication, complemented by a modern, remote-controlled electric fire that provides both warmth and a contemporary feel. The open access from the dining area into the kitchen enhances the flow of the space, making it perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. 

The kitchen is equipped with a range of light grey storage cupboards and a complementary worktop which extends around the room, providing ample preparation space. Fitted within the worktop is a single drainer sink with boiling hot water tap and a four ring induction hob. Integrated within the units is an electric twin oven/grill, fridge microwave and dishwasher. Accessed off the lounge is a walk-in pantry with fitted shelving and worktop, with space for additional white goods. There is also a loft for further storage.

Back in the hall, the two double bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the parkland and woodland, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of the home. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, being a large double room complemented with a fitted wardrobe which extends across one wall. The second bedroom is also spacious and versatile, featuring a fitted wardrobe, drawers and desk, making it an ideal space for studying or working from home.  The stunning shower room is a fantastic finishing touch to the first-floor accommodation. The walk-in enclosure with wall mounted electric shower creates a spacious open feel, that sits alongside a WC and a travertine basin with vanity storage beneath. 

Outside, there are extensive communal garden areas to the front and rear of the property, extending to approximately 3 acres and shared with other owners of Broughton Lodge. Broughton Lodge offers the added benefit of a large cellar, which is a valuable feature for residents. Each apartment, has its own designated storage area within the cellar, providing ample space for keeping belongings organized and out of sight. Number 8's designated space, measuring approximately 6m x 2m, is quite generous, allowing for the storage of larger items or seasonal belongings.
