Lodge Farm, Main Street, Sutton Bonington

This highly deceptive former farmhouse is a true rare gem! Extending to approximately 2120 sq.ft, the property has been lovingly restored by the present vendors over the last 22 years and enjoys a high quality and sympathetically designed specification creating a warm and welcoming family home. The property would make a great home for the young and growing family seeking a ‘community feel’ village location offering countryside walks, primary school, village pubs and shop and excellent commuter links just a short distance away.

The stunning interior offers a versatile arrangement, allowing flexible living for the ever-changing needs of a growing family, and features five reception rooms, a bespoke handmade DeVol farmhouse style kitchen and charming character with roaring log burners and beamed ceilings.

Enter through the central hallway with a separate dining room leading off as well as a library style study which was once the former dairy, featuring herringbone original brickwork and a great place for quiet study and working from home.

The daytime front lounge is centered around a log burner with built-in cabinets adjacent and open plan to the generous dining kitchen. The kitchen design has cleverly made best use of every corner with fitted and freestanding cabinets with granite and cherry wood worktops, a central island, space for a large dining table along with a gas Aga, and in addition a gas and electric Lacanche range cooker with extractor hood. The twin Belfast sink unit with integrated dishwasher really sets the room off overlooking the rear gardens. The kitchen benefits from terracotta tile floors and access from here through to a utility room. The utility room has plumbing for a washing machine, additional sink and leads into a handy ground floor shower room with mixer shower.

Towards the rear of the property are two further reception rooms one of which is currently utilised as a sitting/music room with its own French doors leading out into the garden with limestone tile flooring and leading into one of the most incredible garden rooms we have seen in some time!

The double height vaulted garden room is simply breathtaking! With a central feature inglenook style fireplace and roaring log burner, gallery style mezzanine overlooking the room from the first floor featuring original oak ceiling beams and two sets of French doors leading out into the garden really making this a room for all year round use.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two of which having cast iron period style fireplaces and with one leading out onto the mezzanine with its own ‘quiet corner’ sitting area!

The principal family bathroom enjoys a heritage finish and feel complete with a roll top claw foot freestanding bath, WC and sink as well as an enclosed oversize shower  with mixer having a rain style shower head. In addition to the family bathroom, there is a guest three-piece bathroom right next door to bedroom two.

However attractive the front facade may be, it’s at the rear where the home really comes to life with what was once a former barn having been sympathetically converted and extended to integrate with the main house. The driveway at the side leads through electrically operated double vehicular gates and on to a gravel rear driveway with plenty of parking, and with an oak and glass framed half porch making this a great space to kick off the wellies and coats after a countryside dog walk! The established lawn garden is framed with box hedging along with surrounding border shrubs, flowers and mature trees, pergola and sitting area and this is private and fully enclosed.

Good to know; The property has timber framed double glazing throughout. Gas central heating powered by a conventional boiler and twin tank pressurised hot water cylinders. Recent super fast fibre broadband (via Connect Fibre) has been introduced to Sutton Bonington meaning 2 Gbps downstream and 2 Gbps upstream is now available.

To find the property, leave Loughborough along A6 Derby Road continuing through Hathern to the main traffic lights just prior to the A6 dual carriageway. Turn right and proceeded through the village of Zouch where upon leaving you should take the next turning left into Sutton Bonington entering on Park Lane. Continue through the village passing the primary school and where the road becomes Main Street with the property situated upon the left-hand side as identified by the agents For Sale board.
