Set well within about 2.5 acres of enclosed, private grounds, The Lodge is a substantial detached home offering generous accommodation across roughly 3,507 sq ft. The property benefits from far-reaching rural views, established gardens, greenhouse and productive vegetable areas, plus useful outbuildings including a double garage, two open barns and two workshops. The layout includes a lounge with feature fireplace, kitchen/diner, sun lounge, ground-floor bedroom or office and three first-floor double bedrooms with a walk-in wardrobe to the main bedroom.
This home suits a family seeking space and privacy in a rural hamlet. The substantial plot and outbuildings provide flexible options for hobbies, small-scale equestrian or agricultural use, and there is scope to purchase an additional c.5 acres by separate negotiation. The large gravel driveway and garage provide ample parking, and the property’s solid granite walls and double glazing (install date unknown) give it a characterful, robust feel.
Buyers should note several practical considerations: the house is pre-1900 construction with assumed uninsulated stone walls, heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators, and the main fuel is not on a community system. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — important for remote working. The area is labelled very deprived, and council tax is above average. These factors mean buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades and connectivity improvements.
Overall, this is a rare rural opportunity combining substantial internal space, extensive private grounds and outbuildings. It will particularly reward purchasers prepared to invest in insulation, renewable or upgraded heating and improved connectivity to fully realise comfort and running-cost savings.
