Description

Set in just under 8 acres, Willow Lodge represents an attractive, half tile hung family home with substantial internal accommodation extending over 5000 sq ft. The property was completed by the current owners to the highest standard with a high specification finish and luxurious contemporary interiors.

The reception hall gives an immediate sense of arrival with an oak staircase and memorable glass framed wine store below. On the other side of the reception hall is the family room and a study, both these rooms enjoy a pleasant aspect and have French doors providing access outside.

The immaculate kitchen/ breakfast room is very much the heart of the home which lends itself to family living as it seamlessly spills out onto the west-facing patio. The kitchen has been fitted with sleek modern cabinetry, integrated appliances, an American fridge freezer and a large central island with ample seating space. The reception room has a striking contemporary fireplace and ample space for a seating and dining area.

On the first floor is excellent bedroom accommodation including a generous sized principal bedroom with dressing room, luxurious en suite bathroom and south facing balcony. There are five further bedrooms (two with en suite facilities), a family bathroom and a useful laundry room with clever chute to the utility room. All bedrooms are very well presented and enjoy a pleasant aspect.

Outside, the gardens have been beautifully maintained and there is a wonderful ornamental pond with a striking willow tree. The lawn gently slopes and there are delightful views across the property’s land and neighbouring countryside beyond. There is a beautifully laid terrace running the length of the house offering space for al fresco dining in the spring and summer months.

Willow Lodge boasts superb equestrian facilities, there are several fenced paddocks and the well kept stable block comprises four stables, a tack room with office space. There is a studio room currently used as ancillary accommodation with an en suite shower room.

The driveway offers ample parking space for several vehicles.
