family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation. All of the accommodation on the first floor enjoys outstanding views across the rolling countryside.

The Lodge
Away from the main house is a detached timber-clad lodge situated in a garden plot of approximately 0.75 acres. The fantastic position of this site, which is elevated with views over the rolling countryside, yet which is sheltered by mature trees, presents a highly unusual and exciting development opportunity. Based on permitted development allowance, an enlarged or replacement dwelling measuring 2,100 sq ft could be created at the Lodge. The proposed development scheme includes an open plan living area with a lounge, dining area and kitchen, a separate snug and utility room and three bedrooms, two ensuites as well as a family bathroom. The proposed plans also include a large decking area to the rear of the dwelling and a swimming pool.The site is already well-screened from the main property at Week House and affords significant flexibility in respect to the nature and style of scheme that could be developed.
