Nestled within a serene landscape, this former lodge house presents an intriguing opportunity for renovation and investment. The property includes six bedrooms across the main residence and a separate two-bedroom bungalow, situated on approximately 2.4 acres of extensive grounds that feature a diverse array of gardens and outbuildings.
Originally built as the lodge for the adjacent Colquite Estate, the main house is set back from view behind a high stone wall, providing both privacy and a sense of seclusion. Accessed via grand wrought iron gates, the property features a sweeping driveway leading to a spacious courtyard with ample parking space that connects to an impressive triple garage.
The principal residence boasts generous living spaces with significant potential for modern updates. The layout includes three large reception areas: a 23’ x 21’ drawing room ideal for gatherings, a formal dining room measuring 15’ x 13’, and a snug measuring 21’, perfect for cozy evenings. The kitchen opens into a breakfast room and is complemented by two sizable conservatories that allow residents to enjoy views of the picturesque surroundings.
Across the courtyard is the detached two-bedroom bungalow, which offers considerable scope for expansion into adjacent garage space—subject to necessary permissions—making it suitable for multi-generational living or as an immediate source of income through holiday letting, as it has been used successfully in the past.
In addition to the main structures, this property is equipped with multiple outbuildings that enhance its investment appeal. These include three garages, a large workshop, and an office space conducive for those working from home. A charming converted dove cote serves as a unique studio space, while additional buildings provide practical storage solutions such as garden machinery storage and greenhouse facilities.
The surrounding grounds are beautifully landscaped with distinct sections featuring sweeping lawns intermixed with woodland-like areas rich in mature trees. Careful planting has created vibrant borders that offer year-round visual interest. This combination of cultivated gardens and natural beauty enhances not only the aesthetic but also potential future enhancements.
