About this property

  • White Lodge is a charming house believed to date from approximately 1900 and was originally a lodge house to what is now Donnington Grove golf club, and as such occupies a lovely setting on the edge of the village overlooking the grounds of the course. The accommodation is well laid out over two floors and would now benefit from some modernisation.

    There is planning permission in place for a two storey extension to create a four bedroom, four bathroom house, the floorplan for which is attached to this brochure. Internal alteration could allow for a fifth bedroom. The details can be found on West Berkshire planning portal reference 20/01193/HOUSE.

    There is an additional and separate planning application, which is pending, to demolish and replace the existing property and create a five bedroom, three bathroom house, the details of which are available on West Berkshire planning portal reference 22/01346/FULD.


    Outside, White Lodge has a beautiful approach through the golf course and across a bridge over the River Lambourn to a drive leading to parking to the side of the house. The gardens have some fine trees and although currently uncultivated, there is huge potential to create a great outdoor space. To the south of the house there is a lovely area of water meadows with a path leading down to a charming decked area on the banks of the River Lambourn.

I think this is a beautiful tranquil spot by the river, a real escape!
