Completed in 2010, Dean Lodge was thoughtfully designed by its current owners and is situated in a tranquil woodland setting. Its elevated position offers a unique connection to the surrounding landscape, blending comfort with practicality.

The home is energy-efficient, naturally staying warm in winter and cool in summer, and requires minimal upkeep. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a low-maintenance residence. The exterior features a blend of local Chicksgrove stone and Sweet Chestnut cladding, under a slate roof.

The property has been carefully designed with modern efficiency in mind, featuring aluminium double-glazed windows, an air source heat pump, and excellent insulation. The living space is on the first floor ensures wonderful views of the scenic countryside in front.

The main living and dining area are open space running the entire depth of the house. With its vaulted ceiling, large bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, and French doors opening to a balcony at the front, the room is perfectly set up to bring the outdoors in. A sleek suspended wood-burning stove designed by Dominique Imbert serves as a striking focal point, and Travertine flooring adds a cohesive touch throughout the first floor. The kitchen, seamlessly connected to the living area and complemented by a utility room, features ample floor and wall-mounted cabinets, granite countertops, a wide SMEG oven, and hob. Additional French doors provide convenient access to the rear terrace, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow.

The first floor also includes a study/bedroom, a guest WC, and a generously sized bedroom with an en suite bathroom. This bedroom boasts a Juliet balcony with views over nearby fields.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a spacious en suite bedroom with a walk-in storage area. Two additional double bedrooms, which share a wet room, are located on the opposite side of the hall. One of these bedrooms benefits from dual aspect windows and could be adapted into a studio or a secondary living area to suit various needs.
