Horns Corner, Catsfield

A rare opportunity to acquire two single storey stone-built dwellings (not Listed), full of character and charm, set within private gardens of 1 acre.

Waggon Lodge and Owl’s Beam form a very desirable and unusual opportunity to acquire two very attractive principally stone-built single storey properties beneath pitch tiled roofs. Waggon Lodge has full residential consent, and Owl’s Beam currently has consent to be occupied as ancillary accommodation by a family member or as a holiday let (reference RR/2009/2865/P). Please note that in the past Owl’s Beam has also been divided into two properties.
Both properties are full of character with interesting features and good ceiling heights throughout. Waggon Lodge in particular would merit some updating, however both the properties’ oil-fired boilers have been replaced within the last two years.
The accommodation is arranged as follows:

WAGGON LODGE:

Outside
Waggon Lodge and Owl’s Beam are approached from the road via an initially shared and then private driveway with additional parking to the front and a level area of lawn with mature silver birches. The driveway continues through a six-bar gate onto a gravelled parking/turning area for a good number of vehicles.
Owl’s Beam will be found on the right and in a short distance and approached via a paved pathway is Waggon Lodge. To the front of Waggon Lodge is an enclosed paved courtyard area.
Attached and adjoining Owl’s Beam is a timber framed Barn which is currently utilised for storage and has an internal workshop/implement store and access hatch to a brick water cistern.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn, interspersed with flower borders and of particular note is a mature beech tree. There is a vegetable garden with an aluminium-framed greenhouse and a timber garden shed as well as a raised area of decking for outside dining. The gardens are enclosed by a mixture of mature beech hedging and some exceptional stone walls.
To the east of Waggon Lodge is an attractive brick wall which forms the remains of an oast house roundel and to the side of which are some useful garden stores.
The private gardens to the rear of Waggon Lodge are laid to lawn and there are magnificent unspoilt views over farmland and woodland beyond.
Gardens and grounds in all about 1 acre.
