Set on about half an acre in the sought-after village of Dorrington, Walford Lodge is a spacious five-bedroom detached home that blends rustic charm with recent high-quality improvements. Exposed timbers, flagged stone floors and wood-burning stoves create immediate country-house character, while a refitted kitchen, two modern bathrooms and high-quality UPVC double glazing provide comfortable, low-maintenance living. A large open-plan lounge/diner and separate sitting room give flexible family living areas.
The plot is a standout: gated stoned driveway with ample parking, a secluded courtyard, large rear gardens with pond, polytunnel, greenhouse, substantial vegetable plot and a feature summerhouse with power and an integrated shower/WC. Outbuildings include a timber shed and workshop — useful for hobbies or storage. The property’s layout offers an opportunity to create a self-contained two-storey annex (sitting room, bespoke ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms already forming a separate wing).
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with an external oil tank, drainage is by septic system, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The tenure is stated as freehold but has not been independently verified; buyers should confirm title and services during pre-contract enquiries. Council Tax is above average for the area.
This house will suit families who value garden space, self-sufficiency (vegetable growing, polytunnel) and rural character, or buyers seeking a flexible home with annex potential. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the accommodation flow and mature gardens fully.
