Description

Well-presented throughout, Owl Lodge is a very welcoming four-bedroom family home that has been updated and extended over the years to provide nearly 2000 sq ft of family living space.

The light and spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors, with all rooms enjoying a view over the gardens and surrounds.

The open-plan kitchen/dining room has attractive base and wall units that provide good storage and preparation space with a range of integrated appliances and space for a free-standing fridge-freezer. The dining area enjoys the outlook over the garden to the rear with French doors providing direct access to one of the outdoor seating areas. The kitchen/diner also opens onto the impressive conservatory, which is used by our clients as a more informal every-day family room, with underfloor heating and insulated tiled roof. The more formal sitting room to the front of the house enjoys an attractive feature fireplace with a woodburning stove, sliding glazed doors provide the option to open/close this room off from the kitchen whenever required, ideal when entertaining on a larger scale.

The first floor has three bedrooms, bedroom two has fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom, bedrooms three and four are served by the family shower room. On the second floor the large principal bedroom also has fitted wardrobes and benefits from the elevated views to the front and rear and an en suite bathroom.

Outside - Tucked off a private lane, Owl Lodge is approached over a shared driveway leading to parking for several vehicles and a detached double garage (of 316 sq ft). A pretty pathway leads up to the house itself and a further outdoor seating area next to the conservatory.

The house enjoys a generous plot of a third of an acre, with gardens that are predominantly laid to lawn, ideal for child's play and outdoor entertaining, mature borders, hedges and trees providing a good degree of privacy, colour and interest.
