The entrance leads into a series of beautifully connected living spaces. At the front of the house, a study offers a quiet working environment, while the sitting room sits next to a dedicated TV room designed for relaxed evenings.
At the heart of the home is the kitchen, created by Braverman Kitchens and equipped with all the modern conveniences expected of a premium family residence. A breakfast area and generous workspaces make this a natural gathering point, equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. Moving through the space, the dining room opens through stunning full-height doors onto the large patio, creating a seamless flow between indoors and out. Beyond this, the utility room adds excellent practical capability, and a well-appointed downstairs shower room completes the ground floor.
Every element of comfort has been considered. Engineered oak flooring runs through the original portion of the house, while the kitchen, dining and utility rooms feature Karndean flooring. All ground-floor rooms, along with the principal bedroom suite, benefit from individual underfloor heating zones with app control. The lighting scheme has also been reimagined, with Lutron system allowing you to adjust the lighting in both the kitchen/dining area and the principal suite.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is accessed via its own private staircase, creating a secluded retreat entirely separate from the main landing, ideal for those seeking privacy or multigenerational flexibility. This beautifully considered space includes a sitting room, dressing area and ensuite shower room, and also benefits from air conditioning for year round comfort. It is currently arranged as an annexe. Four additional double bedrooms are reached from the main entrance hall and provide generous family accommodation, all served by a contemporary family bathroom.
The property’s versatility extends outdoors. The garden lodge includes underfloor heating, a WC, and hard-wired TV and broadband, making it ideal as a studio, office or entertaining space.
Supporting spaces include a garage, a boarded loft, a plant room, a workshop and a garden shed.
Throughout the main house, windows have been upgraded with new double glazing and secondary glazing that preserves the heritage character of the locally listed property. Behind the scenes, the property has been completely rewired and replumbed, with ethernet ports providing hard-wired internet to every room. Security is robust, with a fully wired alarm and CCTV system. Recent works include a new roof and a refreshed exterior, giving the property a renewed presence from the moment you arrive.
Home Park Lodge is a rare combination of period architecture and modern capability, a home refurbished with exceptional care, ready to be lived in and loved for years to come.
