Description
Nestled in rolling countryside, this atmospheric Georgian farmhouse, Lodge Farm, boasts a rich history dating back to around 1800. The brick-built exterior is surrounded by exquisite gardens, with a wisteria and rose-clad facade setting the tone for the grandeur within. The house has been thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners over the past 55 years, resulting in a light-filled, characterful country home with elegant proportions. With a dramatic entrance hall, each room has its own distinct identity, from the spacious drawing room with original Georgian sash windows to the comfortable snug with an inbuilt wood burner. The garden room, with its stone flooring and octagonal domed roof light, is the epicentre of the house, leading to the formal gardens, which wrap around the property. The property also features six bedrooms, a study, and a restored 19th-century barn with solar panels. The gardens and grounds, stretching to 4.8 acres, combine formal gardens, courtyard spaces, paddocks, and a productive fruit and vegetable garden, providing a serene and picturesque setting.
