Discover your dream home this Christmas at Lodge Mount...

Lodge Mount, South Leverton 

A home made for togetherness 

Tucked within the peaceful village of South Leverton, Lodge Mount is a home that has grown gracefully over time. Once a much-loved farm bungalow dating back to the 1960s, it was extended in the 1990s and again in 2010 to create the spacious and versatile residence it is today. 

With close to 6,000 square feet of accommodation, this is a home designed for connection. A place where generations can gather, where every corner tells a story, and where the rhythm of rural life flows gently through generous rooms and sunlit gardens. 

Full of heart and individuality, Lodge Mount blends its original farmhouse soul with the comfort and flexibility of modern living. A home for family, friends, and the joy of everyday moments. 

A grand approach 

Sitting proudly within its generous plot, Lodge Mount enjoys a sense of presence from the moment you arrive. The home is set back from the lane, with a wide granite paved driveway providing ample parking for family and guests, framed by mature planting that softens the landscape. 

Porcelain steps lead up to a welcoming entrance, where solid oak flooring and a graceful bespoke solid oak and cedar staircase set the tone for the warmth and quality found throughout. Natural light flows in through wide windows, catching glimpses of the gardens beyond and drawing you further inside. 

Every detail feels considered. From the first impression, there is a sense of openness and calm that makes Lodge Mount feel instantly inviting. 

The heart of the home 

At the centre of Lodge Mount lies the kitchen, a space that brings everyone together. Designed for family life and easy entertaining, it balances warmth and practicality with a welcoming sense of openness. 

A large oak central island forms the hub of the room, offering plenty of space to gather, prepare food, or simply pause with a morning coffee. The multi fuel Rayburn adds a comforting glow through the winter months, filling the kitchen with gentle warmth and homely charm. 

This is a kitchen made for conversation. With its generous dining area and double doors leading out to one of several patio terraces, it’s the perfect place for relaxed family meals or evenings shared with friends. 

The sense of flow continues into a versatile living area, ideal as a casual lounge, reading corner or play space, connecting the family through every part of the day. Whether it’s the aroma of something baking, laughter around the island, or the hum of everyday life, this room feels alive with warmth and belonging. 

A home with flexibility 

Lodge Mount is a home that evolves with you. Thoughtfully extended and designed with family life in mind, it offers exceptional versatility for modern living. 

A self-contained wing provides the ideal setting for multi-generational living, independent space for guests, or an exciting B&B opportunity. 

Step through into the library and games room, a generous and characterful space with a bespoke oak bookcase that forms the heart of this independent area. From here, a few steps lead up to a light and airy lounge, where double doors open out to a sunny patio, perfect for quiet morning coffee or afternoon relaxation. Just off this room lies a peaceful music room, a calm retreat filled with natural light. 

A staircase rises from the library to the first floor, where two spacious double bedrooms and an additional sitting room create a private and comfortable haven. A refitted shower room completes this wing, making it ideal for visiting family, older teenagers seeking independence, or those looking to generate income through guest accommodation. 

The thoughtful layout of Lodge Mount ensures everyone can enjoy their own space, while still feeling connected to the warmth of home. 

Practical spaces 

Returning to the main hallway, turn left to discover the practical heart of the home. Designed with everyday living in mind, these rooms make Lodge Mount as functional as it is beautiful. 

A well-equipped utility room (or potential secondary kitchen) provides plumbing for both a washing machine and dryer, with plenty of space for storage and organisation. Beyond this lies a dedicated boot room, ideal for countryside living, where coats and muddy wellies can be tucked neatly away after long walks through the village lanes. 

A spacious study sits just beyond, filled with light from a large window and fitted with built-in storage. It’s a peaceful spot for working from home, though it could equally serve as an additional ground floor bedroom if needed. 

Completing this wing is a contemporary shower room, perfectly placed for rinsing off muddy dogs or freshening up after time outdoors. Every detail here has been designed to make family life flow smoothly, blending practicality with comfort. 

Space to rest and recharge 

Climb the bespoke staircase to the first floor, where space and light create a calm and restful atmosphere. The landing opens up beautifully, drawing the eye to views of the gardens beyond and setting the tone for the generous accommodation above. It’s the perfect spot for a quiet reading nook, a peaceful corner to pause and unwind. 

The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary. Framed by full-height glazing to either side and a Juliette balcony overlooking the sunny rear courtyard, it’s a space that feels both uplifting and serene. The central wall anchors the bed so you wake each morning to views of the garden, filling the room with a soft, natural glow. 

Beyond the sleeping area the floor raises to feature a freestanding bath and a contemporary floating vanity with wash basin, blending spa-like luxury with considered design. Behind a sliding door lies a separate WC and large walk-in shower, finished with striking blue rainfall tiles that add a touch of modern character. 

Behind the bed wall, a dressing area is fitted with full-height wardrobes and space for a dressing table, creating an elegant and functional suite that feels as beautiful as it is practical. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to offer privacy, light and indulgence in equal measure. 

Across the landing, bedroom two offers fitted wardrobes and a king-sized bed. Light streams in from the front-facing window, creating a calm and restful atmosphere. Bedroom three enjoys generous proportions with another king-sized bed and a large window framing lovely views over the rear garden, making it a peaceful and airy space. 

Accessed along a quiet rear corridor, bedroom four is well-planned with fitted wardrobes and a Velux window that fills the room with soft, natural light. Ideal as a guest room, study or nursery, it has a sense of calm that feels instantly welcoming. 

All three bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, fitted with a shower over the bath, pedestal wash basin, WC, towel rail and useful built-in storage. Elegant and practical in equal measure, this space has been designed for comfort and ease. 

Venture up again to the top floor, where two large king-sized bedrooms and a shared shower room offer a private and relaxed space, ideal for older children or visiting guests. This floor could easily become a self-contained haven, with one of the bedrooms lending itself to a sitting area or study space. 

Every room feels inviting and considered, with subtle touches of comfort and character that make Lodge Mount feel instantly like home. 

The garden 

Beautifully conceived and lovingly maintained, the south-facing gardens at Lodge Mount are an absolute highlight of this home. Once an NGS garden, they have on occasion been opened to the public to raise funds for charity, a testament to the care and creativity poured into every corner. 

The garden unfolds in distinct zones, each with its own character and sense of tranquillity. Closer to the house, sunlit patios provide perfect spaces for dining and relaxation, framed by colourful planting and the gentle sound of the fish pond and its soothing water feature. These terraces catch the light throughout the day, making them ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks. 

Expansive lawns sweep away from the house, bordered by mature shrubs and seasonal blooms that create a natural flow through the garden. Beyond, a small orchard filled with apple, plum, cherry, fig and quince trees brings colour and fragrance through the seasons, while a well-tended allotment at the top of the garden offers space for growing vegetables and herbs. An additional outhouse provides practical storage for garden tools and equipment. 

To the rear of the property, a large block-paved driveway forms a generous turning circle with ample parking for several vehicles. The double garage can be accessed from both the front and rear, providing excellent flexibility and convenience. Surrounded by open sky and gentle greenery, the grounds at Lodge Mount offer a rare balance of practicality and beauty, a garden that invites you to relax, entertain and simply enjoy the rhythm of outdoor life.
