5 bedroom detached house for sale

A well appointed contemporary house, Broad Oak Lodge is constructed of stone and part rendered elevations under a tiled roof and stands in an elevated position with far reaching southerly views. The property has well proportioned rooms; the principal reception and bedrooms face south overlooking the gardens. The rooms have good ceiling heights, are light and bright, and appear to be in good decorative order. There is an attractive fireplace in the sitting room which is beautifully proportioned, with french windows opening onto a timber terrace running along the southern elevation of the property.

Other attributes worthy of mention include a potential annexe (incorporating the games room, sitting and garden rooms) which has a separate access. The property has been well maintained in recent years with a modern direct pressure plumbing system, and both solar and photovoltaic panels.

The property is approached through double gates onto a tarmac drive which runs up to the front of the property with car parking space leading to a further area of paving with a double garage and timber store. The majority of the garden lies to the front and sides of the property and provides a delightful backdrop to Broad Oak Lodge. To the south there is a large expanse of lawn flanked by well stocked flower and shrub borders with dahlias, rhododendrons and a wide variety of ornamental plants interspersed with a variety of mature trees including Oak and Silver Birch. In all about one acre.
