Set back from Stapleford Road, South Lodge dates back to the 19th Century and provides an exciting opportunity to create a charming, family home in a rural village setting.

Entering through the iron gate into the front terrace, the front door opens into a spacious, elegant entrance hall. To the left is the first of several reception rooms, a spacious sitting room flooded with natural light. A gas fireplace provides a cosy feel to the room, whilst steps lead up to an additional sitting area with a large picture window framing views of the garden. The sun room provides a flexible reception space, with access into the rear garden.

Back to the hall, the traditional dining room enjoys views over the front garden, complete with a spacious pantry cupboard, open fireplace and arched alcoves. Flowing through into the kitchen and back hall, the kitchen is fitted with a good selection of units and integrated appliances. Steps lead up to the useful utility room, which provides additional storage, space for appliances and access to the outbuildings. A rear hallway and downstairs W.C. complete the ground floor.

From the entrance hall, the stairs ascend to the first floor. There are four double bedrooms and a smaller fifth, all flooded with natural light and most benefitting from built in wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the first floor with a separate W.C.

The property is approached through metal gates onto the driveway, that leads to extensive parking and the outbuildings. A small area of garden is situated alongside the driveway, with mature borders creating a secluded ‘room' for following the sunshine. South Lodge benefits from a fantastic range of outbuildings, barns and stables, providing a vast amount of scope and opportunity for conversion into secondary accommodation or into a gym, studio, work from home space, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The barn offers a fantastic space with a mezzanine floor above, with double doors to both the driveway and gardens. A store and stable complete this wing, whilst additional stables and store complete the courtyard. The original features such as hay mangers and cobbled tiles remain from the previous owners who used the outbuildings to house their cows and horses, working the land.

The formal gardens, totalling 0.46 acres, lie to the west of the property. Lawned and partially walled, the gardens provide a private and peaceful space, with mature trees and raised shrub and flowering beds, ensuring colour and texture. There is ample space for family games as well as the opportunity to landscape the gardens further.
