LIDDINGTON LODGE, LIDDINGTON HALL DRIVE, GUILDFORD, GU3 3AE

Liddington Lodge, the former gatekeeper's house for Liddington Hall, dates back to the 1850s.

This property has a wonderful blend of period features with a modern twist, from the moment you walk through the gothic-style blue front door.

The show-stopping feature of this characterful lodge is the fabulous kitchen and dining room in glass surrounds, positioning you right in the heart of a garden oasis.

With underfloor heating to the wooden floors, this is the entertaining hub of the home, through all seasons.

Invite friends to sit up at the island with a drink in hand and star gaze through the roof by night and take in views of the beautiful garden by day.

Installed by a Belgian company, the Poggenpohl kitchen has steel countertops and wooden cabinetry, with integrated appliances that include a Miele oven and hob, dishwasher, and a tall fridge/freezer, plus space for a washing machine.

During the warmer months, air conditioning provides a welcome relief and a traditional fireplace in the living room next door creates warmth and ambience on a cold winter's night.

With characterful windows, period features and a tall, elegant ceiling, the living room is both unique and welcoming.

Positioned along the hallway, between the front door at one end and living room at the other, are the three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The largest of the three bedrooms is expansive, with built in wardrobes along two walls and a large window that provides natural night from the garden.

The second bedroom has a pretty outlook to the lawn and a modern shower ensuite that includes a Hansgrohe shower with a Raindance head.

The third bedroom, currently being used as a home office, is charmed by pointed twin windows and a staircase leading up to the loft room, which could make an ideal children's room, with loft windows looking up to the sky!

The property is then complete by the spacious family bathroom that includes both a separate Hansgrohe shower and an elegant, free-standing bath.

Surrounded by woodland, the plot of Liddington Lodge is multi-dimensional.

The array of plants that provide the backdrop to the kitchen were selected to provide colour year-round: From Snowdrops to bluebells, camelias and roses.

A path outside the kitchen connects the neat garden lawn on one side and the patio on the other. Near the patio is a summerhouse with full electrics, a garden shed and a wooden storage shelter.

The lawn is a wonderful sun trap for an afternoon relax. Being bordered by mature shrubs, it feels private and secluded.

Positioned off the lawn is an al fresco dining area and parking for two vehicles, accessed through a gate.

Both ambient and security lighting is positioned throughout the grounds, coupled with a security system in the property.

Liddington Lodge is positioned on the corner of Liddington Hall Drive, within the parish of Worplesdon - a well-established and semi-rural district just a few miles north-west of Guildford.

The neighbourhood offers the best of both worlds. It is peaceful and green, yet in proximity of Guildford's amenities.

By road, it is well placed for easy access to the town centre, plus London and the south coast, through links to the A3.

A bus stop is conveniently positioned just up from the property, which has regular services to the town centre in approximately 11 minutes.

This provides quick connectivity to the mainline station for a London commute.

Primary school options are excellent, with St Joseph's Catholic Primary, Rydes Hill Preparatory School and Worplesdon Primary School, all in close proximity.

For secondary schools, Kings College has a very good reputation. Surrounded by woodland, family walks in the countryside of Rydes Hill Common and beyond, is right on your doorstep.
