Description The Lodge is a single storey period dwelling in the form of an octagon under a thatched roof with bedroom wing under a tiled roof. A local thatcher has stated that the thatch is reed with a long straw ridge and the main roof should last for approximately 60 years with the straw ridge needing to be replaced every circa 15 years. It should be noted that the pan tiled roof of the bedroom wing has/is being replaced. It is understood that the property is not Listed. The dwelling has recently undergone a partial refurbishment programme which has involved adding a new oil fired boiler and water tank, renewing the wiring where necessary, replacing the bathroom/WC, replacing the kitchen and utility room and relaying flooring throughout. In addition, a new, compliant sewage treatment plant has been installed. The cottage retains many of its charming period features such as arched timber framed windows and brick fireplace in the sitting room. Whilst the current set up allows for two bedrooms, the study can be used a further bedroom and the external office has scope to be incorporated into the dwelling, subject to the normal consents. Outside there is off road parking, a garage, outbuilding and mature grounds which in total extend to approximately 0.33 of an acre.
