Description

Alde Lodge is an outstanding single storey home built by the renowned developers Michael Howard Homes in their distinctive lodge house style, featuring mellow white brick elevations beneath a traditional slate roof.

A door leads to the adjoining utility room. Beyond the dining room is the superbly proportioned triple aspect sitting room, a wonderfully bright and inviting space enjoying delightful views over the gardens and driveway. The room is centred around an attractive feature gas fireplace, creating a warm focal point.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged off the reception hall. The principal bedroom is a generous double with a stylish en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is also a spacious double with its own en-suite bathroom, whilst the third double bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room.

Alde Lodge is approached via a long private driveway with gated access, leading to extensive parking and a cart lodge with adjoining shed and store.

The beautifully landscaped gardens, designed by JJ Designs, provide an exceptional and tranquil setting. They feature extensive paved terraces, well stocked herbaceous borders, mature trees, raised beds, a Gabriel Ash greenhouse, and a variety of secluded seating areas positioned to enjoy the sun throughout the day.
