Leigh Lodge is an exceptionally large, newly renovated Grade II listed family home set on just over an acre in Abbots Leigh. The house combines generous Georgian proportions and period detail with contemporary interventions — a bespoke kitchen with AGA, formal reception rooms, a glazed garden room and engineered home office — designed for comfortable family living and entertaining.
Outside, the professionally landscaped grounds are a defining feature: expansive lawns, mature fruit cages and an orchard, a heated outdoor swimming pool with glazed pool room and gas-fired fire-pit, plus an outdoor kitchen and paved dining terrace. Practical outbuildings include a garage, substantial workshop and stores, with electric double gates and ample driveway parking.
Services and sustainability features include solar panels and an air-source heat pump (used for the pool). The property uses oil-fired central heating for the house and has private drainage via a septic tank. The Grade II listing and the property's age mean that any external or structural changes will be subject to listed-building consent and may limit major alterations.
This home suits a large or multigenerational family seeking expansive indoor and outdoor space in a very affluent village location, close to high-performing independent schools. Buyers should note the maintenance and ownership responsibilities that come with a large period property, listed status and septic drainage, plus very high council tax costs.
