Description
Lower Lodge is a wonderful family house - once a lodge to the neighbouring
Alderbury House, it has been entirely rebuilt and extended by the current
owners. They have made use of the highest quality materials and exceptional
interior design to create a very comfortable home which has the character of a
period property with the convenience and efficiency of a modern house.
The Barn and Annexe
The Barn provides a flexible live/work space. It is centred around a
magnificent, double height living space with a mezzanine and French door
opening out to a walled garden. In addition there is a kitchen and shower room
with a store room, or bedroom on the first floor. To the far side is a superb
office space.
An adjoining outbuilding has been converted to provide an annexe with a
kitchen/sitting room on the ground floor with two bedrooms including a
bunkroom for visiting children and a shower room on the first floor.
Gardens and Outbuildings
Lower Lodge is approached through double gates which open onto a gravel
driveway. There is a parking and turning area to the front of the house and
the drive continues round to access the barn and adjacent garaging and
stores. .
The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and are predominantly laid to
lawn. To the south west and south east of the house there are extensive
terraces, framed by box hedges and well designed borders. Beyond the barn is a
part - walled garden, which could provide a private space for an annexe or a
would be the ideal location for a swimming pool. Further on, is a kitchen
garden with well - stocked raised beds.
