Found in a quiet, village setting with open countryside views, Lodge Farm is an impressive barn conversion with an abundance of character features throughout, including traditional weatherboarded elevations, exposed timber beams and splendid vaulted ceilings, alongside elegant, bespoke modern fittings. Benefitting from an array of useful outbuildings, the property is set over two floors and offers over 3,000 sq ft of accommodation including an annexe/guest wing.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hall leading into the impressive dining hall with a wood burner, double-height vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers, as well as a galleried landing above. Further space in which to relax or entertain includes the well-proportioned sitting room, with its brick-built fireplace fitted with a log burner. The kitchen is located just off the dining hall and features bespoke English oak cabinetry, integrated Neff appliances and a built-in breakfast table, with the adjoining boot room providing further space for appliances and home storage. Beyond the kitchen is a utility, family room with log burner, shower room and study, which are currently incorporated into the main footprint of the house, but together also form an ideal guest wing/annexe. Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to three well-presented double bedrooms; including the principal bedroom with its built-in wardrobes and en suite bathroom. The first floor also has a family bathroom, and there is also two attic rooms with windows accessed by a ladder.
