Description

Outstanding, recently modernised and extended Victorian lodge set in beautiful gardens. Drummond Lodge is an attractive Victorian lodge believed to date back to the mid-1800s. The house has been transformed in recent years, thanks to an outstanding renovation, restoration and extension project carried out by the current owners in 2021/22. The modern glass and steel extension overlooks the garden and has created an orangery to complement the impressive open plan kitchen / dining room. Whilst the contemporary and stylish décor provides it with vibrant character, the house still retains much of its original charm throughout with features such as working window shutters, and typified by its imposing central tower. Other notable works include the refurbishment of the roof to include new cast iron downpipes, rendering of chimney stacks, new double-glazed windows, and the installation of a new 300l hot water tank. The coach house at the top of the garden also offers the potential for additional annexe accommodation. The kitchen is an outstanding, open-plan living space, having been extended in 2022 to create a dining area in the orangery overlooking the beautiful gardens. It also incorporates a family area with log burner. The kitchen itself has Andrew Fitzpatrick bespoke cabinetry including a central island with breakfast bar, Arabescato quartz countertops, Fohen boiling tap with water filter, and fully integrated Bosch appliances as well as a Neff wine cooler, and Rangemaster dual fuel cooker with Harlam Thompson brushed brass splashback. A bespoke designed triangular cupola sits over the superb orangery, which offers a stunning dining area with outlooks over the garden. Two sets of doors lead out onto decked patio and this spaceopens up to family room beyond. The central reception hall sits off the original front door and connects into all of the principal ground floor rooms, with an original stone staircase curving up to the first floor. The dining room and sitting room both sit off the hall, the latter with a new log burning stove and south facing bay window overlooking the front garden. The ground floor also has a utility room and WC, both situated by the back door off the kitchen, and a pantry with fitted counters and shelving. The principal bedroom has a stunning south facing aspect thanks to its large bay window. The spacious principal en suite has a copper freestanding bath, shower cubicle and separate dressing area. There are four further double bedrooms, one of which is currently set up as a gym, family bathroom and a shower room. A concealed staircase from the first floor leads up to a study in the tower room above. There is also useful loft storage. Coach House with planning permission The original coach house is an attractive stone building which has been converted into a single garage and store with internal staircase leading a floor above. Planning permission has been granted to convert it into annexe accommodation to the main house. The accommodation would comprise a ground floor dining kitchen, living room, WC, store and outdoor terrace. The first floor would have an en suite bedroom. Garden The gardens at Drummond Lodge are stunning, extending to about 0.77 acres in all. It is bound on three sides by an original stone wall. On its eastern side mature trees grow alongside the boundary wall including a magnificent cedar of Lebanon and large acer, providing privacy from the golf course. In the front garden there is a variety of trees and shrubs, as well as a hedge which affords the house a great sense of privacy from Aveland Road. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn but interspersed with and flanked by a mix of trees, shrubs and beautifully presented and fully stocked beds. A recently added timber decked patio wraps around the north and east of the orangery, providing a wonderful spot for barbecues and outdoor entertaining overlooking the garden. The driveway passes through stone pillars with wrought iron gates sweeping through the front garden and up to the side of the house where there is parking adjacent to the back door. The drive then continues along the west boundary, leading to the coach house which holds a single garage. There is also a polytunnel, chicken run, and timber shed.
