De Vaux Lodge has been sympathetically restored and offers generous and elegant south facing accommodation with a wealth of period detail.

De Vaux Lodge was originally part of the College de Valle which was founded by Bishop Bridport in 1261 as a theological college and continued there until the Dissolution. Following this it is believed to have been a canons home as well as a women's penitentiary prior to being converted into a private house.

A delightful entrance hall with stone floor leads to the ground floor reception rooms which include a drawing room with wood burning stove with stone surround, sitting room and dining room, all with French doors leading out to the terrace. There is a study and guest cloakroom.

Kitchen with bespoke fitted oak units, granite work surfaces, 3 oven gas Aga, china cupboard and pantry, and links to the utility room and secondary W.C

An attractive staircase leads to the first floor which enjoys the benefit of a wonderful arched window on the return with views of the Cathedral spire. The first floor comprises a spacious south east facing master bedroom, 3 further bedrooms of which two are en suite, and a family bathroom. There are two generous lofts, both with fixed loft ladders, with good boarded areas.

OUTSIDE
The house is approached through double gates which lead to a good sized parking area, brick built garage with storage, car port and garden store. The formal front garden boasts attractive French cobbles, and a variety of yew and box and hornbeam. The pretty rear garden is well stocked and lies to the south of the house. There is a large carport and single garage both with adjacent store rooms. There is eaves storage above the garage.
