A GRADE II LISTED PERIOD GEORGIAN HOUSE WITH LATER VICTORIAN ADDITIONS SET IN MATURE GROUNDS WITHIN THIS POPULAR VILLAGE The Lodge is a classic pretty Georgian house retaining all the inherent character of this period with later Victorian addition to the rear.

Enjoying pride of place in the fireplace is a gas fired two ovened AGA providing both cooking, drying and heating facilities. There is plumbing for a dishwasher. A step leads up to the breakfast area with cloakroom in the corner and door revels access to the rear staircase. The inner hall also allows access to a good sized utility room with fitted wooden storage cupboards and inset butler sink with extensive granite tiled work surfaces.
