4 bedroom house

Vernon Lodge is a Georgian family house dating from the early 1800's with later additions from the Victorian period. The property is well presented and retains original period features including open fireplaces, sash windows and high ceilings. The ground floor comprises three reception rooms all accessed from the welcoming entrance hall. The well equipped kitchen features a central island and Aga with a breakfast area to one end, from which there is access into the conservatory with doors out to the garden. An office, utility room and cloakroom to the rear of the house complete the ground floor. To the first floor is the main bedroom with dressing room and en-suite shower room. There are three further good size double bedrooms all with built in storage, one of the bedrooms has a room off which could be used as a dressing room, and a generous size family bathroom.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to the front of the house and round to the side with access to the double garage with a connecting door into the house (potential to provide further accommodation subject to any consents). The garden surrounds the house and is predominately laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. A terrace runs along the back of the house, and the garden is well-screened offering seclusion and privacy.
