This rare and individual home, Gate Lodge, dates back to around 1860 and was originally the entrance lodge to The Abbey, a grand Victorian residence. The beautifully presented, link-detached period home still retains much of its original charm and character, with modern updates to suit modern living. The property features an open-plan living and dining area, a modern fitted kitchen, a family bathroom, and two double bedrooms on the first floor. A unique feature is the original school tuck shop window, now hidden behind elegant Gothic arch doors. The property has a south-facing garden with a patio, pond, and summerhouse office, as well as two private parking spaces and an additional lawn. Located near the start of the Vanguard Way, Gate Lodge offers a unique opportunity to own a characterful home that blends Victorian heritage with contemporary comfort in a peaceful village setting.
