Set on a generous corner plot in desirable Staplegrove, Little Lodge is a substantial dormer-style detached bungalow that will appeal to families seeking space and outdoor privacy. The house offers flexible accommodation over two levels: a welcoming lounge with bay window and wood-burning stove, a separate dining room, kitchen with breakfast area and three bedrooms plus study. A wide driveway, turning area, gated entrance and detached garage provide plentiful parking.
The wrap-around garden is a major asset — mostly lawn with patio and decked areas, mature planting, a water feature and gated side access. Interiors show mid-century character and practical updates such as double glazing and gas central heating, but there is scope to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and some upstairs rooms to suit contemporary tastes. Note the upstairs bedrooms have some restricted headroom due to eaves.
Practical points for buyers: the property is freehold, built c.1950–1966 with cavity walls and later double glazing. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is above average for the area. Flood risk is low and local crime rates are low; good primary and independent schools are nearby, and local leisure amenities add to the village appeal.
This home suits a family wanting room to spread out and a private garden in a favoured village setting, or buyers looking to add value through sympathetic updating. A viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the plot, flexible layout and parking provisions.
