North Lodge in Swarland is a stunning 4/5 bedroom family home set within generous garden grounds. The property boasts many attractive period features, is double glazed throughout and offers ample garage and off street parking.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
North Lodge is a Victorian period lodge house combining historic charm with modern living.
An impressive stable door, with original doorbell still intact offers access into a striking entrance hall with stripped wood floorboards, stairs leading to the first floor and a large cloaks cupboard. Off the reception hallway is the impressive ‘L’ shaped living-kitchen-dining room. Several windows, with stone mullions, allow a tremendous amount of natural light to enter.
The kitchen and sizeable dining area has been furnished with beautiful large floor tiles creating a sleek and stylish look. The sitting room extension has windows to every side and a lovely inglenook fireplace with a wood burner within. A pair of French doors open onto a paved area to the side of the property. The dining area comfortably accommodates a dining table and accompanying chairs, and the inglenook fireplace has been creatively transformed into a superb wine store. The kitchen offers a good number of two-toned wall and base units and a large centre island with a breakfast bar, storage, and a wine cooler. The Corian work surface works in perfect harmony with the matching upstand and brick splashback tiling. There are further storage units including a pantry area where there is additional shelving and space for a further appliance, all secluded behind sliding doors which sit on industrial runners, creating a lovely rustic look.
The utility room, which offers matching work surfaces, units, flooring and splashback tiling to that of the kitchen, houses the LPG boiler and a single bowl stainless steel sink. There is a downstairs WC off the utility room.
A second reception room or fifth bedroom is situated on the other side of the reception hallway. It offers two windows offering dual aspect views, again with stone mullions, allowing plenty of natural light to enter and a fireplace. Although, currently used as a playroom for children, the room has a variety of uses depending on requirements.
The stairs from the reception hallway lead to the first floor landing. The principal bedroom is a beautiful room with stripped wood floorboards, stunning windows, a shaped ceiling and an en-suite bathroom with free standing shower. Bedroom 2 is another good-sized double with stripped wood floorboards and an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are supported by a family bathroom.
Outside, the wrap around gardens is mainly consisting of lawned areas, mature trees and shrubs. There is a separate garage with electricity and lighting, a door to the side and an attractive arched door to the front. In addition, there is a secluded south-facing patio area adjoining the family sitting room which is the perfect space for relaxing and enjoying the warm sunshine during the summer months. At the rear of the garden the current owners have built a home office. Although used as office space, it could have a variety of uses.
