The Accommodation

The ground floor centres around a magnificent kitchen and dining space which forms the true heart of the home. Entered from the welcoming entrance hall, this impressive room features vaulted ceilings with skylights that flood the space with natural light, sleek off-white cabinetry and a substantial central island with wooden breakfast bar, creating an ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. The original part of the cottage retains beautiful 150-year-old parquet flooring, which continues through the entrance hall, dining area and snug, adding warmth and character to the home.

The kitchen is further complemented by a practical utility room offering excellent additional storage and workspace. A secondary rear lobby leads to a stylishly appointed shower room with premium tiling and walk-in enclosure, while also offering direct access to the rear gardens. Flowing naturally from the kitchen and dining area is the principal sitting room; a bright and comfortable reception space with large French doors opening directly onto one of the garden terraces. This terrace creates a natural extension of the living space, with ample room for seating and outdoor dining. From various points within the gardens there are lovely outlooks across the surrounding countryside, reinforcing the home’s rural setting.

On the opposite side of the kitchen sits a cosy snug featuring a large bay window overlooking the gardens together with a welcoming wood-burning stove. This versatile room could equally serve as an additional reception room, guest room or occasional fourth bedroom if required. The substantial conservatory offers a versatile secondary reception space with panoramic views across the countryside and direct access to a further terrace area.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a particularly bright dual-aspect room with contemporary decor. The space includes a dedicated area currently arranged as a study, through to a modern en-suite bathroom fitted with a full-size bath, pedestal wash basin and large skylight allowing excellent natural light. Bedroom two is another generous double room characterised by its distinctive eaves and painted wooden flooring. There is a large picture window offering elevated views across the surrounding countryside. This room also benefits from its own en-suite shower room with walk-in corner shower and stylish tiling. A charming third bedroom and a central landing with built-in storage complete the upper floor.

Outside

West Lodge is approached via a private track which leads to the property’s gravel driveway, providing generous off-road parking set back from the road. The gardens extend to approximately a quarter of an acre and wrap around the house, creating a variety of outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the day. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, the grounds offer a good degree of privacy while maintaining a lovely connection with the surrounding countryside.

Several seating areas and terraces are positioned around the house, providing ideal spots for outdoor dining or relaxing while taking in the rural setting. From various points within the garden there are attractive outlooks across the open countryside.

A range of useful outbuildings further enhances the property, including a spacious barn offering a variety of potential uses, a well-proportioned professional office and a separate workshop/store room.
