Springfield Lodge is a beautiful detached Victorian property with an excellent balance of accommodation over three floors (excluding cellars). The house retains delightful period features, including working fireplaces, tall ceilings and original sash windows.

An impressive entrance hall is found to the front of the property, with steps up to the ground floor. The ground floor rooms are orientated around a central hallway which gives access to the dining room, drawing room (and onto the orangery), sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen has a generous amount of fitted units and an AGA range. Beyond this room is a light and airy garden room which connects to the utility room and onto some of the property's extensive outbuildings. The current owners constructed the impressive orangery to the rear of the house, which provides an excellent connection to the beautiful gardens. Two W. C.'s and access to the cellar completes the ground floor.

The first floor provides four double bedrooms, most notable being the principal bedroom with its generous en suite bathroom and delightful views over the grounds. Three remaining double bedrooms on this floor serve from the family bathroom. A second staircase rises to a further bedroom and in turn, generous eaves storage.
