3 bedroom detached house

A rare and historic home with a substantial footprint and stunning lawned gardens.

Description

Park Lodge is located at the entrance of the long, sweeping drive up to Northwoods, a classical 19th mansion and parklands. The lodge itself dates back to the 1830s and was extended during the 1990s and 2000s creating flexible living space and potential for annexe conversion. The house is one of two that sit either side of the drive and have a unique, whitewashed, hacienda style.
The house is approached via off-street parking, via a charming, arched, timber framed front door. The entrance hall is particularly spacious with engineered oak flooring and ample space for coats. Bedrooms one and two sit either side of the hall and are of a good size. Bedroom one has a modern, en suite shower room with double walk-in shower. Bedroom two overlooks the south facing, front garden and benefits from large, integrated wardrobes. Bedroom three benefits from a duel aspect, south and west facing orientation with direct access onto the garden veranda. The family bathroom, adjacent, is modern with a bath and shower over. Continuing off the hall is a spacious sitting room with engineered oak flooring, a log burner with stone hearth and timber mantel as well as a door leading out onto a veranda. The room is light and bright with a duel aspect 'garden style' theme and lovely views onto the veranda. Double doors lead through to a bright and large dining room. The kitchen adjoins the dining room in a semi-open plan fashion and is bright and stylish with a cheerful colour scheme, a range of wall and base units with timber worktops and arched alcove shelving. The adjoining garden room or conservatory offers fantastic views onto the garden and provides a wonderful place for summer dining or entertaining.
The owners have done an incredible job of upgrading the basement, which is accessed down a few steps from the kitchen. The space has been renovated to an exceptional standard and now provides a charming and substantial space to use as hobby room, second living room or fourth bedroom. The utilities are located down here as well as a WC and a large storage room. The space has its own access onto the front garden and therefore offers excellent annexe conversion potential. Externally, the property offers extensive wrap around, level lawned gardens with a greenhouse, mature and well stocked beds. There is also a charming, timber summer house with electrics, making an excellent home office as well as a number of al fresco dining terraces and a pond. Towards the end of the garden is a double garage with an electric door providing excellent storage as well as off- street parking for at least 4 cars.
