Padgett Lodge
Padgett Lodge is a modern, spacious bungalow positioned centrally on a large plot in the village centre. From here you can easily access the village store, pub, church, school etc on foot. It offers so much potential as a spacious and comfortable family home, with some cosmetic updating, or subject to planning permission offers the potential for someone to develop the plot further. The gardens extend to approximately 0.26 ha/0.65 acre. It has been a much-loved family home and now presents the next owner the chance to really make it their own.

The first impression of the property is that it is well set-back and has a very generous front garden area, with a large gravel driveway offering parking for several vehicles and gardens mostly laid to lawn. There is a ramp to the (level access) front door, leading into a small porch area and in turn this leads to a generous entrance hall with coat storage cupboards. The property is well laid-out with reception and living areas to the right and the bedroom wing to the left. Internally the bungalow offers approximately 1680 square feet of well laid-out spacious accommodation.

The bright reception room to the front is an impressive 25’ x 25’ approximately L shaped space with 4 large windows to the front and side elevations. The dining room space has a patio door leading to the spacious outdoor terrace, and a door leading directly through to the kitchen.

The kitchen is well fitted with timber units, including some glass faced wall display cupboards, under counter integrated fridge, built in Neff wall oven and grill and ceramic hob. The spacious utility room offers further timber units with plenty more storage, a fitted under counter integrated freezer, water softener unit, corner cupboards with carousel storage and two windows overlooking the rear garden. There is a large boiler cupboard recess housing the Grant oil boiler serving the central heating. There is a separate cloakroom with WC, basin and vanity cupboard space. Continuing to the further inner hall, there is access to all 4 double bedrooms, 2 positioned to the front and 2 to the rear. The family bathroom offers a wet-room style shower, plus vanity units and integrated basin & wc.
