Integrated appliances are thoughtfully incorporated throughout. Recessed downlighting enhances the space and continues into the adjoining dining and living area, reached via a gentle step down.

Here, the same oak flooring flows underfoot, while a television point and traditional-style radiator add comfort and versatility to this cosy yet sociable setting.

The suite flows effortlessly into a dressing area, which in turn leads to a four-piece en suite.

Finished with travetine tiling to the floor and splashback areas, it features a spacious double shower with glazed doors, twin vanity wash hand basins with integrated spotlights above, a traditional-style heated towel rail, bidet and a back-to-wall w.c and is warmed by underfloor heating.

The second bedroom is a generously proportioned, dual-aspect room, thoughtfully enhanced by a combination of wall lighting, recessed downlights and a traditional-style radiator, creating a warm and inviting ambience.

It is served by a three-piece en suite, finished with a pebble-effect tile flooring and complementary tiling to splashback areas.

The bathroom is thoughtfully designed, featuring a bathtub with integrated taps and a walk-in, wet room-style shower complete with a monsoon head, additional hand shower and a glazed screen to the side.

A wall-mounted wash hand basin complements the contemporary feel, while neutral tiling to splashback areas and a feature illuminated niche add a refined touch.

A door with glazed insets opens onto a private balcony, enhancing the sense of light and space whilst offering woodland views beyond.

The cloakroom, positioned separately, is fitted with a back-to-wall w.c., with an illuminated niche behind and tiled to dado height.

A breath of fresh air… Completely secluded, the gardens at the lodge extend to approximately an acre of beautifully private grounds, enveloped by established woodland.

Stepping out onto the decked terrace, one finds an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, which flows seamlessly onto generous patio areas and a raised shingle garden, decorated with potted planting and having a timber gate back to the front of the property.

A generous sweep of lawn provides the core of this garden and is sheltered by dense, mature woodland, perfect for outdoor pursuits or relaxed family living.

A characterful brick wall defines the boundary to the front, with gated access through to the large, detached garage. This brick-built garage is thoughtfully arranged into three distinct areas.

A section with glazed insets over the garden provides excellent potential as a garden room or a space for garden storage.

To the front of the garage, the second section is enclosed by double doors, whilst the third is an open-fronted area, currently utilised as a games space, and benefitting from both power and light as a versatile extension to the outdoor living environment.

Further potential lies to the first floor of the garage which, with planning permission, would offer another space for living accomodation having windows and light.

A naturalistic wildlife pond adds the perfect finishing touch to the gardens, supporting a variety of aquatic planting and having an adjoining decked veranda with pergola.

This is complete with tiled flooring, lighting and glazed insets around.
