Saul Lodge West

A long driveway with fields either side leads to an enviable parkland-style setting where this elegant Grade II listed property is found. The original detached villa is believed to have been built in 1820 by the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal Company as a residence for their Chief Engineer. Many decades ago it was divided into two individual houses and this property is set at the rear having the advantage of a wide open aspect towards the River Severn standing within its own grounds measuring just under 2 acres, comprising a formal walled garden and paddock. The present vendor has renovated and upgraded the property to offer flexible, light and well-presented accommodation. From the parking area steps lead to an open porch where you can appreciate how magnificent the setting is. On this raised ground level a newly-fitted kitchen/breakfast room is found along with a good-sized dining room and sitting room with a delightful bay window. Both reception rooms have large sash windows with shutters from which to enjoy the breath-taking view. The first floor houses a large principal bedroom boasting superb views of the river with ensuite shower room and a further guest suite with bedroom and ensuite, plus two further bedrooms. These bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with separate cloakroom. On the top level there are two further bedrooms and a shower room. On the lower ground floor there is a two bedroom annexe/flat with kitchen, dining hall and living room. The boiler & laundry room are also on this level. Property Ref: STR190004.
