It has recently been reinsulated, and sash windows have been newly renovated and draught-proofed. The property has superfast fibre broadband.

The dual aspect kitchen/family room is the heart of the house and provides a large social area perfect for informal entertaining and family living.

To the side of the kitchen is a snug/TV room complete with fitted storage cupboards and shelving. The painted Plain English kitchen cupboards include a larder and large island with wooden worktop.

The formal entrance to the house is via an entrance hallway on the north side of the house which provides access to an excellent utility room with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and American style fridge freezer.

Grove Lodge is approached through wrought iron gates that lead to parking and turning for several cars and the architect designed open double garage and annexe.

This provides a versatile living space for additional family, guests or family help.
