Extending to an expansive 2,751 sq. ft., the property is situated on a quiet no-through road, ensuring peace and privacy. Set within a generous 0.8-acre plot, the bungalow enjoys a large frontage with double driveway and breathtaking southerly views to rear across open fields and woodland, creating a truly idyllic backdrop. With superb potential for further development, the property offers exciting possibilities - whether enhancing the existing home or exploring the potential for a separate building plot (subject to planning permission). Accommodation New Lodge is a beautifully crafted bungalow, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping, picture-perfect views. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by an impressive entrance with fully glazed double doors flanked by full-height windows, which flood the space with natural light, drawing you into a charming enclosed porch. The parquet-effect flooring flows effortlessly into a bright and welcoming reception hall, where character meets versatility. Elegant half-height panelled walls, complete with decorative display alcoves and a refined frieze, add depth and warmth. This adaptable space is more than just a hallway; it’s a room in its own right, ideal as a reception, gallery, or even a stylish dining area. Double doors lead you into the show stopping drawing room - a wonderfully spacious and light-filled centrepiece. Expansive full-height windows and twin sliding doors frame captivating views, seamlessly connecting the room to a generous terrace patio beyond. Here, the outdoors effortlessly becomes part of the living experience, perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing while soaking up the stunning surroundings. An impressive Adam-style fireplace with a coal-effect gas fire takes centre stage, flanked by built-in display alcoves with glass shelving, while ornate ceiling coving adds an elegant finishing touch. In addition to the drawing room, the property boasts two further versatile reception rooms, a convenient WC, and a cloakroom off the hallway. There is also direct access to the integral double garage, which features an electrically operated door for effortless convenience and offers tremendous scope to easily further expand the living accommodation, should you wish to create additional space. The formal dining room, conveniently accessed from both the reception hallway and the kitchen, also enjoys direct access to the terrace patio through its own patio door - ideal for extending entertaining outdoors and embracing the seamless inside-out lifestyle. Complementing the living spaces is a snug sitting room, providing a more intimate and private setting with a charming outlook over the sweeping double driveway and landscaped frontage — perfect for quiet moments or relaxed evenings. The kitchen at New Lodge is the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Finished to an exceptional standard, it features an extensive range of high-quality fitted cabinetry paired with striking silestone work surfaces, creating a stylish yet highly functional space. A host of integrated appliances — including a Neff microwave and combination oven, Neff coffee machine, full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, and an ever-hot electric range cooker with induction hob and hot plate - catering to every culinary need.

Outside New Lodge is approached via an impressive sweeping tarmac in-out driveway, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles alongside a spacious carport and integral double garage. The frontage is beautifully framed by a lawned area with stone walling and mature shrubs, providing a sense of privacy and seclusion from the road. To the east of the driveway, a fully enclosed lawned garden, bordered by hedging and fencing, offers a charming and versatile outdoor space. Once a thriving vegetable and fruit garden, this area retains its potential for homegrown produce. Set just beyond, a separate outbuilding serves as a practical and private home office, ideal for remote working or creative pursuits. This side garden also presents an excellent opportunity for the development of detached garaging, allowing the existing integral garage to be seamlessly incorporated into the main property. On the west side, wooden gates open to reveal expansive lawned gardens that seamlessly wrap around to the rear, enriched by a diverse collection of mature trees and shrubs. A picturesque circular seating area, complete with an ornamental urn and stone benches, provides a peaceful retreat. The southern boundary, edged by a low hedge, enjoys uninterrupted views over open agricultural fields, enhancing the sense of space and tranquility. At the rear, a wide semi-circular terrace paved with Egyptian stone extends from the house, creating an idyllic setting for outdoor entertaining. Thoughtfully landscaped with carefully chosen shrubs and a feature stone wall, this space is as functional as it is beautiful. Stone steps lead gracefully down to the lawn, while a discreet gardener’s WC adds convenience.
