Hollybush Hill, Stoke Poges, SL2

Fairfield Lodge is a substantial, detached character bungalow occupying a delightful plot and measuring over 4,000 sq. ft in size, with a double detached garage and a heated outdoor swimming pool.

Fairfield Lodge is something of a unique home, believed to date back to the mid 19th century and built in the Plantation-style. The property has undergone extensive improvement in recent years by the current owners including replacement bathrooms and brand-new kitchen. The entrance porch opens into a grand reception hall with entrances via a central fireplace to a sizeable adjoining drawing room.

The living space flows seamlessly into other areas through elegant arched openings, framed by black windows, enhancing the open atmosphere. Decorative moulding graces the ceilings, adding a touch of traditional elegance. A versatile sunroom or conservatory-style dining area, bathed in natural light from expansive windows, offers picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen is equipped with white cabinetry, dark countertops, and stainless steel appliances, complemented by light-coloured wood flooring in a herringbone pattern, creating a rustic charm with exposed dark wooden beams on the ceiling.

The ceilings in Fairfield Lodge are approximately 10 feet high, giving the home an extra dimension of spaciousness. As with the plantation style, a significant characteristic is the central hallway, measuring in this instance over 46 feet, which gives access most of the accommodation. All four bedrooms benefit from ensuites and the highlight is the recently fitted open plan kitchen with integrated appliances.

Gardens and Grounds

Set on a leafy residential road on the rural fringes of Stoke Poges, this impressive home is accessed via secure black metal gates leading to a spacious gravel driveway. A turning circle sits to the front of the house, while a sizeable detached garage is positioned to the side.

The exterior has been designed as an oasis for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a large paved patio ideal for al fresco dining. Adjacent to the patio is a bright conservatory providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The manicured lawn, bordered by mature hedging, offers a peaceful setting, while a heated rectangular swimming pool with a protective cover provides enjoyment on warmer days. A stylish pool house—with expansive sliding glass doors—enhances the poolside experience and would make an ideal home office or gym. A decorative wrought-iron gazebo adds a charming focal point on the lawn.

Additional outbuildings offer potential for conversion into a one-bedroom staff annexe or guest suite, subject to the necessary permissions.
