A hidden gem set in its own valley in the heart of the South Hams with lakes, woodland and paddocks extending to about 30 acres
Description
Lodge on the Lake is an extraordinarily unique property situated in its own valley and surrounded by woodland, lakes and the rolling South Hams' countryside. Approached by a long private drive which is flanked on both sides by its own woodland, the setting is nothing short of breathtaking.
The main house occupies a beautiful, lakeside position with the accommodation taking full advantage of its’ surroundings. The hand made Tyrone kitchen in solid Pippy oak is well-equipped with a range of wall and base units, a gas range, an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher and is open plan to the beautiful living room and sitting room. A wood burning stove and underfloor heating provides the cosy touch while the bi-fold doors from the living room and French doors from the kitchen and sitting room open out onto the wrap around terrace, really bringing the outside in. Extending from the terrace is a fabulous, decked dining area complete with heated dining pod, the perfect spot for lakeside entertaining. Beyond the sitting room is a stunning dining room, again with French doors to the terrace and a glazed roof lantern, flooding the room with light. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which features dual aspect French doors to the lakeside terrace with hot tub and an en suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom on the ground floor as well as a utility room and a cloakroom. Stairs rise to a beautiful glazed galleried landing which leads to a stunning principal suite with walk in dressing room and en suite bathroom. Bi-fold doors lead to a south facing balcony with views over the lakes and woodland beyond. There is a further dual aspect en suite bedroom on this floor.
Separate secondary accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers an open plan kitchen / dining and sitting room with sliding doors to the veranda with hot tub and a double bedroom with a dressing room and an en suite shower room.
Gardens and Grounds
Arguably the most noteworthy feature of Lodge on the Lake are its unspoiled surroundings and in particular the wonderful lakes which are stocked with golden orfe, common grass carp, roach and large trout.
The lakes attract an abundance of wildlife including bees, butterflies, ducks and a variety of birds including kingfishers. Between the lakes is a lovely seating area which is the perfect spot for sundowners whilst at the opposite end of the lakes is a fabulous summer house / artist’s studio.
Extending to about 30 acres, the land also includes a bluebell wood and a wild garlic wood providing woodland walks as well as a number of paddocks.
The long driveway at Lodge on the Lake leads to two large garages / workshops with high roller shutters, numerous bays and a hydraulic lift as well as a large log store and generous parking area.

Lodge on the Lake is located a short distance from Stokenham, Chillington and Frogmore, thriving and vibrant villages offering between them a health centre, a number of pubs, a post office / general store, a hair dressing salon, a farm shop with tea room, deli, butchers and garden centre.
