DESCRIPTION
One of a pair of classic detached lodges previously serving a manor house no longer standing, dating from about 1935, having brick elevations with some window shutters under a tented tiled roof with central chimney stack. A five bar gate opens into a private courtyard with a front door on the side opening into a hallway, large sitting room through to the dining room with central fireplace between, small kitchen, rear lobby, WC and larder.
On the first floor the landing has doors off to 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and a hatch to an expansive roof space.
The Tank Room
Lying opposite, and detached from the house, this striking brick and tiled building historically housed the locality's water with steel RSJ's still holding up the old tank. There are further brick and corrugated iron stores off the side, and at the rear a lean-to timber shed. There are potential conversion opportunities (subject to planning).
The Gardens
Between the house and the Tank Room a brick entrance, now without gates, opens into a previously stunning walled garden, historically in its day, linked with Covent Garden. Whilst the walling remains and includes a post box on the outside, the land has not been cultivated for many years. Classic features such as the ornamental ponds remain, however the glasshouses at the end have now fallen into disrepair (and should not be entered). On the far side of the walled garden there is a small area of Chestnut Coppice. (Note the garden photographs have been enhanced to take out uncleared rubbish piles present at the time)

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 6, 2022
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 6, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
