North Lodge is a charming, multi-faceted, stone-built period property offering ideal space for generations of the same family to live within its curtilage. Originally two laundrymen cottages attached to the neighbouring Hall, the main property remains split into two parts, a principal house and smaller annexe (with the potential to create one larger detached residence). The lovely detached barn conversion also has self-contained accommodation and outside space. A glorious courtyard terrace, mature gardens, paddock,, picturesque rural setting and wonderful outlook complete the picture.

Dating from the 1830s and extended more recently with a superb garden room., North Lodge has many period features including exposed stonework, stripped wooden floors, traditional cottage doors and fittings, fireplaces, deep window sills and exposed beams.

The contemporary kitchen breakfast room is double height in part to the first floor with breakfast bar, granite worktops, butler sink and views over the courtyard. Alongside is a large utility room.

The glorious 20ft garden room has underfloor heating, a vaulted ceiling, double height window and bifold doors opening west on to the courtyard terrace.

This property provides many options for home working. North Lodge has a large study/office with superfast broadband available.

The attached annexe is entirely self-contained with its own drive, front door and staircase hall. It faces south, has a wood burning stove in the sitting room, a first floor bedroom and rear hall with access to private outside space.

The detached barn has been converted to provide a double garage and luxurious residential accommodation arranged over two floors. This duplex apartment is self-contained with its own parking and courtyard garden and is well screened from the house. The first floor kitchen/living room enjoys glorious views to the orchard and beyond to the meadow through the wide picture window. The barn has planning consent for holiday lets.

Outside
The property sits within its beautiful landscaped gardens, peacefully nestled at the end of the village lane and well screened all round. There are two gravel drives flagged by colourful borders and box hedges, one that swings to the front of the house and one that is some 100 metres in length and heads along the eastern elevation to the double garage/barn. Alongside the rear is a large paved and sheltered courtyard terrace bounded to the west by outbuildings, with broad steps leading to the gardens beyond. The gardens have been rigorously maintained, and lie predominantly at the rear of the house. There are areas of sweeping lawn lined with lofty hedgerows and mature trees such as Beech and Sycamore; the whole rises gently past the orchard to the field beyond. The paddock has a wooden shelter, two access gates and is bounded by fencing and trees.
