Lane House is the elegant front section of a Victorian country house offering generous family accommodation across approximately 4,500 sq ft. Set in about 1.79 acres of established, west-facing gardens, the property delivers classic period proportions — high ceilings, gables and chimneys — together with versatile living spaces for daily life and entertaining.
The house features four reception rooms that open onto a paved terrace, a kitchen/breakfast room, a large utility and lift access to the first floor. The main residence provides five bedrooms, two en suites and a family bathroom, plus a second-floor self-contained apartment previously used for staff and currently arranged as a bedroom, sitting room with kitchenette and bathroom. A separate, self-contained two-bedroom lodge extends the accommodation options for guests, older children or rental income.
Outside there is a private tennis court, summerhouse, extensive parking and a four-car garage. The gardens face west, capturing afternoon and evening light across lawns, mature trees and planted borders. The location in Kings Walden village offers very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — set in a prosperous, rural area with well-regarded local schools nearby.
Note the property is the front portion of a house that was divided in the 1980s; the arrangement means some shared structure or boundaries with the adjoining section. The home sits in a higher council tax band (very expensive), and as a period property buyers should allow for the typical upkeep that older houses require. The plot, scale and separate lodge create strong potential for multi-generational living or an owner-occupier seeking ancillary income.
