Approached via a sweeping driveway, Royde Lodge immediately makes an impression. Behind its handsome Victorian façade lies a home rich in original character, with beautiful stained and leaded glass, statement fireplaces, ornate plasterwork, high ceilings and generous rooms throughout.

The ground floor offers four impressive reception rooms, providing exceptional flexibility for family life, entertaining and working from home. The elegant sitting room enjoys views across the gardens through its large bay window, while the dining room features ornate ceiling detailing, a feature fireplace and further bay window with built-in seating. A characterful study with fitted bookcases and marble fireplace provides an ideal home office or library, while the breakfast room offers an additional relaxed living space.

The kitchen sits alongside the principal reception rooms, while the garden room provides a wonderful connection between the house and its surroundings, with glazing to three elevations and French doors opening directly onto the gardens.

One of Royde Lodge’s most intriguing features lies beneath the main house. An extensive suite of cellars includes substantial storage rooms, a dedicated wine cellar, utility space and a basement office. Their scale offers enormous versatility for a future owner to explore, whether envisaged as leisure, entertaining, hobby or additional working spaces, subject to any necessary consents.

A sweeping staircase, illuminated by beautiful period stained glass, rises to the first floor. Here are four generous bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with a spacious en suite bathroom featuring marble detailing and its own period cast-iron fireplace.

Two further bedrooms occupy the second floor, creating six bedrooms in total and offering additional flexibility for guests, family, hobbies or home working.
