Built in 1902 as part of the Tong Hall estate, The Lodge is a distinguished stone-built home that combines Edwardian character with later sensitive additions. The property sits on a very large, mature plot of about 1.12 acres with formal gardens, private woodland and a pond, offering notable privacy and countryside outlooks.
Internally there is flexible accommodation including a principal bedroom with ensuite, a bright sitting room with bay window, separate library, a large kitchen/dining space and a dramatic orangery added in 2002. A single-storey annex provides self-contained one-bedroom accommodation ideal for guests, multi-generational living or rental income.
Practical considerations include an Energy Rating D, assumed uninsulated stone walls, double glazing of unknown age and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The house presents a strong opportunity for high-end modernisation or selective refurbishment to improve energy performance and contemporary living standards.
The location in sought-after Tong Village offers a rural white-collar community feel while remaining within reach of local schools and amenities. Note: the immediate area reports higher-than-average crime levels and the property attracts above-average council tax, factors buyers should weigh alongside the plot, period charm and scope for enhancement.
