DESCRIPTION

North Lodge is a beautifully presented former Estate Lodge set in just shy of 1 acre of mature grounds and woodland with ample parking, detached garage and offered with no onward chain. The property has been enhanced by the current owners who have recently finished renovating the property to a high standard with the addition of a newly fitted high specification kitchen, shower room, heating, electrics, engineered wood floors, fireplace and electric gates along with full decoration throughout.

Upon entering the property is a welcoming entrance hall which leads into the spacious and light filled sitting room with engineered wooden floors and a wood burner with wooden mantle as the focal point. French doors from the sitting room open into the conservatory which has a wonderful triple aspect view overlooking the gardens. The bespoke kitchen was completed in December 2024 and features an array of fitted cabinetry topped with stone worktops and breakfast bar to sit and enjoy the garden views. Within the kitchen is a Neff slide and hide electric oven, microwave grill, induction hob, integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. A utility room can be accessed from the kitchen with further storage, plumbing for white goods, access into the garden and a separate w c with wash hand basin. Across from the kitchen is the dining room, a perfect room for formal dining and entertaining with space to accommodate a table for six to eight people. This room could equally be used as an extra bedroom if desired.

There are two double bedrooms and a good sized single bedroom in North Lodge, all of which are accessed from the main inner hallway. The double bedrooms both benefit from a sunny dual aspect, with one having views over the garden. The third bedroom has a rear aspect and would make a perfect home office, if desired. The newly fitted shower room features a large corner shower enclosure with powerful shower, toilet, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.
