We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
The Lodge is a charming, three bedroom, Grade II listed Arts and Crafts period detached home dating from 1902, originally built as the entrance lodge to the historic New Cragg Hall.
Constructed in handsome hammer-dressed stone with a traditional slate roof, the property is set within mature, tree-lined grounds and approached via an impressive "basket arch" gateway with original oak gates, offering a unique blend of character, history, and kerb appeal.
The Lodge - A Distintinguished Arts and Crafts Residence A rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional Grade II listed home of outstanding architectural significance.
Dating back to 1902, the Lodge was designed by renowned architect, Edgar Wood - a leading figure of the Arts and Crafts Movement - as the grand entrance lodge to the magnificent New Cragg Hall.
Although the Hall itself was lost to fire in 1921, the Lodge endures as a striking and historically significant home, showcasing the timeless character and attention to detail for which Woods' work is celebrated.
Setting & Grounds Set within mature, well-established grounds of approximately 0.45 acres, the property enjoys a private and picturesque setting amongst beautifully wooded gardens.
A standout feature is the impressive "basket arch" stone entrance, complete with original full-height oak gates dating back to 1906, creating a memorable and grand approach.
To the rear, a herringbone block-paved driveway provides extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles, further complemented by additional gravelled areas.
The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and framed by planted borders, mature trees and shrubs, offering both privacy and tranquility.
Two useful garden sheds, both with power, shelving, and lighting, enhance the practicality of the outdoor space.
Accommodation This stunning property offers well-balanced and characterful living accommodation, combining period charm with everyday comfort.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance lobby, ground floor WC, a bay-fronted living room, and dining room/reading room - both enjoying excellent natural light and original proportions.
A well appointed kitchen, featuring granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and large larder cupboard, leads to a conservatory with double doors opening onto adjacent stone-flagged patio.
A wonderful, lush, private setting surrounded by nature and the sound of birdsong.
The semi-octagonal stair tower with its exposed timbers - another distinctive Edgar Wood feature - leads to a central landing on the first floor giving access to three generous double bedrooms and a good sized family bathroom, all thoughtfully arranged to maximise space and light.
Character & Features The Lodge retains a wealth of its original Arts and Crafts detail including elegant cast ironwork, fireplaces, brass finger plates and woodwork features.
In addition, the property benefits from recently installed double-glazed heritage windows throughout, featuring faceted glass to retain the correct period aesthetic.
The property has a serviced security alarm, gas central heating system with Hive remote control, Jotul cast iron gas flame fire and recently upgraded Worcester boiler.
In addition, refurbishment of the roof has been undertaken by the current owners, including the installation of high quality insulation materials, to bring this beautiful period home up to modern standards of warmth and comfort.
