HOUSE AND GROUNDS
As settings go, it does not get much more impressive than this. Naseby Lodge is a spectacular, modern home which was built by the current owners who have embraced contemporary architecture and design to create an outstanding property, set within 83 acres with far reaching views over pasture, woodland and countryside beyond. Close attention was made to create a compelling mix of fresh, light and modern spaces, which has certainly been achieved. At over 9,000 sq ft, the accommodation throughout is generous and the numerous reception rooms allow a real flexibility as to how they could be used. Highlights include the show stopping entrance hall, the most amazing open plan kitchen/sitting/breakfast room and beautifully proportioned drawing room to name just three. Naseby Lodge is perfectly suited to those who enjoy entertaining inside and out, with the large windows forming a seamless link between the house and gardens.

The seven bedroom, seven bath/shower room arranged over the first floor makes for comfortable family living. Much like the ground floor, the quality of craftmanship and attention to detail is evident throughout. The main bedroom is particularly impressive, having breath-taking views across the garden and surrounding countryside.

The property is finished to a high specification, with underfloor heating from a ?ground source? heat pump, integrated Sonos system, programmable lighting, and interiors finished with a considerable flair.

The gardens and grounds are simply beautiful, mostly laid to lawn the garden is interspersed with a variety of trees and shrubs as well as well-established flower beds which are full of colour throughout the summer months. Approached via a 150 yard long tree lined driveway, there is a large gravelled area allowing for plenty of parking. The drive continues to the left, wrapping around the rear of the barns to a large hardstanding and yard. To the rear of the house is a covered swimming pool, before continuing to a superb party barn which has showering and changing facilities and is perfect for entertaining guests.

Mostly laid to pasture and interspersed with blocks of amenity woodland, the land surrounds the house predominantly to the South, East and North of Naseby Lodge. It is well fenced with a mixture of post and rail and post and wire fencing, there is pond, a large lake and the land is let on an annual grazing agreement.
