DESCRIPTION: A wonderful and seldom found opportunity to acquire a most attractive and much-loved family home which has been under the same ownership for over 40 years.

Understood to date back to the mid-19th Century, White Lodge offers spacious accommodation typical of the era, together with period features and a wonderful garden which wraps itself around the property and the benefit of a detached double garage.

The accommodation is approached via an Entrance Porch leading through into a welcoming Dining Room having sash window to the front, tiled fireplace and built-in storage to one side of the chimney breast. Doors to Lobby, with stairs rising to the first floor and Sitting Room also with a sash window to the front, open brick fireplace and a picture rail.

There is a central hallway to the rear giving access to a cellar and to the rear garden. To one side is a Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a good range of base units and built-in shelved storage cupboards, one housing the gas fired boiler. To the other side is a Shower Room/WC and a Utility Room.

The first floor has four double Bedrooms, two with feature cast iron fireplaces. Steps lead down to a Bedroom having the benefit of an En-Suite Bathroom, whilst all are served by a Shower Room.

OUTSIDE: The gardens are a delight, thoughtfully planted with an array of plants, trees and established herbaceous borders including fir, apple, acer, bay and rhododendron. A brick path abuts the whole of the property, flanked by areas laid to lawn. The rear garden is of a generous size with a paved terrace and brick built bbq taking full advantage of the westerly aspect and the afternoon sun. The boundary to one side is enclosed by a lovely brick wall and hedgerow to the remainder. To one corner is some outside storage and stepping stones lead to a side gate, timber store and the double garage having a remote controlled up and over door.
