Sycamore Lodge, Stableford, ST5 5JH

Sycamore Lodge is more than just a home - it's a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Full of country cottage character and charm, with a wonderful blend of comfort, luxury and attractive features throughout, it's the perfect place for your family to call home.

Set in Stableford and surrounded by countryside, the home has plenty of room for the family to park at the front and is nestled in a small development just off Stableford Bank.

The quality of the home is apparent as soon as you step into the entrance hall which has a warm and welcoming feel.

To get your tour started in style, bear right from the entrance hall and wander into the lovely living room.

This is a simply stunning room and is blessed with an abundance of style and character. There are so many wonderful things to admire of which the beamed ceiling and wood burner are just the start. Light pours into the room from windows on two sides and make this a cheerful place to be on even the gloomiest days. On chilly evenings, fire up the wood burner and toast your toes as you doze in the warm glow and let the flames entertain you. The whole family can fit together here like pieces of a jigsaw with ease and you will still have room to spare. Double doors open onto the garden and on warm nights, you can enjoy birdsong as you relax on the sofa. Should you fancy a spot of fresh air, simply step through the doors on the patio beyond and spend some time in the garden.

The garden offers the chance to indulge in an alfresco lifestyle and has many places for you to relax. Just to the right of the doors from the living room you can hop up the steps to a raised deck area and repose with a glass of something chilled as the sun sets. Here you can also partake in breakfast on a sunny morning and enjoy lunch under the shade of the mighty Sycamore tree. The rest of the garden includes a nice sized lawn ideal for picnics and more paved patio areas.

You may have spotted two more sets of double doors from the garden and if you hop through the middle set, you will find yourself in the delightful dining room. Or additional living room you prefer. However you use this room, you will enjoy spending time here as you sit beneath the beamed ceiling and admire the garden while relaxing on the sofa or tucking into a tasty meal.

Set course for the kitchen now and as you head that way, pay a quick visit to the chic guest cloakroom tucked away under the stairs and then continue on.

As you would expect in a home of this calibre, the kitchen is a sight to behold is packed full of country charm and character. Dreamy blue cabinets pair effortlessly with sleek worktops to create a kitchen that is a pleasure to work in. The range-style cooker is ready to take on everything from family favourites to grand weekend feasts and the central island has lots of room to lay out plates as you dish up Sunday lunch. On the other side of the island, you can perch on a stool and enjoy a freshly brewed coffee in the morning as you wait for your croissants to warm in the oven.

Or you could take a seat at the dining table where you can enjoy meals in comfort at any time of the day. Love to entertain? Then this is most definitely the kitchen for you because your guests can gather round the table and keep you company as you work. And when the meal is over, take after dinner drinks out to the garden to round the evening off in style.

A door to the right of the dining area leads to a handy utility room and a further door provides additional access to the garden while a door to the left will let you into the garage where you can store all your bikes and tools.

Head upstairs, where you'll find a wonderful selection of beautifully presented bedrooms, each offering its own character and charm.

As you reach the galleried landing, you will once again be impressed by the size of this home. Rooms can be found in front and behind you and situated between them is the family bathroom.

This is spacious and beautifully presented with a generous tub and separate shower enclosure. Although there are other bathrooms in the house, this is bound to be a favourite for anyone looking to enjoy a luxurious soak in tranquil surroundings.

At the other end of the landing, await the last of the bedrooms. The first to your left is another really comfortable and cosy room with a great view of the garden and an ensuite bathroom of its own.

The last of the bedrooms is at the end of the landing and if you haven't chosen a favourite room yet, this could be it. With ample room to stretch out and enjoy a weekend lie in, this room also has a superb ensuite shower room and built in storage cupboard.
