A striking Georgian house with large garden and outbuildings, situated in the sought-after village of Nun Monkton.
The Lodge was built in 1830 as part of the historic Priory Estate. This imposing Georgian home is an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture and it boasts many of its original and characterful features. This striking former gate lodge stands at the entrance gates to Priory Estate and overlooks the idyllic village green, which extends to around 20 acres and includes a wildlife pond and maypole.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the ground floor comprising a sizeable conservatory, added by the current owners, offering picturesque views over the garden and countryside beyond. Leading through two sets of French doors is the sitting room, which creates ample space for entertaining or an inviting place to relax by the fire. The remainder of the ground floor accommodation comprises a study, well equipped kitchen/breakfast room complete with Aga, a separate dining room and W.C.
On the first floor is a wonderful principal bedroom with large bay window framing 'The Avenue' to St Mary's Church, complimented by a contemporary en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms which share a well-appointed family shower room.
This former gate lodge enjoys a larger than average garden extending to just under an acre, boasting a number of colourful beds, mature hedge and shrub boarders and at the far end a copse of mature trees that provide both shade and natural beauty throughout the seasons. Two timber barns one larger and one smaller are situated in one corner of the copse, offering ample storage space for gardening equipment. While in the main garden is a delightful summer house which provides a wonderful vantage point to view the best the garden and surroundings have to offer. There is also a driveway to one side providing off street parking for up to four cars.
