4 bedroom house

Standing in beautifully landscaped gardens extending to three quarters of an acre, Forest Lodge is a fine individually designed house of distinction and character. This impressive home offers well balanced accommodation and is centrally positioned in its south facing plot, with all principal rooms overlooking the rear garden.
The main house has a welcoming entrance hall with a shower room to one side. There is a sunny south and west aspect sitting room with a bay window and a fireplace housing a wood burning stove. An arch with glazed sliding doors takes you through to a spacious kitchen/family room with hand crafted bespoke kitchen units and solid oak worktops. A central work island incorporates a breakfast bar. On the first floor there are three well proportioned bedrooms and a family shower room. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room.
In recent years the property has been extended to create a self-contained air conditioned annexe with a vaulted ceiling and a galleried mezzanine level bedroom overlooking the reception room below. The annexe has a shower room and clever kitchenette cupboard incorporating a sink and shelving. The annexe is linked to the main house via a glazed hallway which leads to and inner hall, a cloakroom and a utility room.
Part of the original planning application under refence CC/14/03360/DOM was for a two storey extension to the front of the house which the present owners have not persued, but could be completed by a new owner desiring more accommodation.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property. Forest Lodge is approached by way of a sweeping circular in/out drive with a central roundabout abundantly stocked with mature shrubs and trees. The drive leads round to an open double car barn and lock up store. At the rear there is a large patio area giving way to beautiful herbaceous borders and extensive lawn. To one side there is further alfresco eating area with a pergola.
