Substantial country residence

Description

Lodge House has been updated to an exceptionally high standard throughout by our clients and offers well-proportioned rooms, large windows, high ceilings, French Oak parquet flooring, exposed beams as well as providing state of the art modern conveniences for everyday living.

The House is set back from the road and approached across a graveled drive which leads to a parking and turning area alongside the house.

A large original oak door under a oak storm porch provides access to a generous entrance hall, which in turn leads to a substantial open plan, light-filled sitting room/dining room, which benefits from a wood burning stove and two sets of French doors out on to the terrace.

The bar room being off the dining room is a fantastic way to blend function and style, especially for entertaining guests.

The delightful snug, with wood burning stove and marble surround can also be accessed from the entrance hall.

The double aspect, high specification kitchen/ breakfast room has been completely upgraded by our clients and is now a delightful light and bright space.

The kitchen area comprises Calacatta Exotic Quartz work tops and an extensive range of sage green solid wood cabinetry, with ample storage consisting of breakfast and hidden pantries, a dishwasher and full length Bosch fridge and freezer. There is a Shaws Ribchester double butler sink with Perrin & Rowe taps, a fitted Elise rangemaster oven and a kitchen island with wooden work surface, ample storage and a wine cooler.

The Breakfast area comprises a cream Jotul wood burning stove and glazed French doors, which lead to a terrace, perfect for alfresco dining.

The utility/boot room lies off the kitchen, which also leads through to a shower room and study with amazing double height ceiling.

Reached via an impressive wooden staircase is the first floor, which comprises a vast galleried landing. The substantial triple aspect bedroom suite is located to the west of Lodge House and is fitted with an extensive range of wardrobes and benefits from delightful views across the surrounding countryside.

There are a further four well-proportioned bedrooms all enjoying delightful countryside views. Completing the first floor is a dressing room and three bathrooms.

The grounds extend to around 3.1 acres and are mainly laid to lawn. To the rear of the house is a large York stone terrace, which has superb views across the grounds. The gardens contain a number of mature specimen trees, which in turn provides the property with a high degree of privacy and seclusion.

There is also a delightful rose garden, Arbor, gravel paths, water feature and a box parterre beyond.

Beyond the formal gardens lies the all-weather AstroTurf tennis court, greenhouse and kitchen garden, which currently houses chickens. A recently converted outbuilding currently hosts a gym, with heating and electrics, which also has a gated private access from the road.

To the front there is ample parking and a garage, which can be accessed from the front of the property and from inside the house.
