A delightful detached Cotswold stone mainly Victorian lodge with gardens, garage and parking, set within easy walking distance to The Square.

Description - The Lodge is a delightful detached property constructed of natural Cotswold stone under a pitched tiled roof.

The Lodge has been extended to include a conservatory to one side and a single garage, utility room and cloakroom to the other. This extension is constructed of painted brick under a flat roof.

The Lodge retains much of its original character with two reception rooms, kitchen breakfast room, cloakroom and the conservatory on the ground floor and two bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The bedrooms enjoy particularly generous ceiling heights.
