Nestled within a mature setting along Rake Lane, Rake Manor Lodge is a distinguished detached period property that once formed part of the historic Rake Manor estate, known for its roots in the early 17th Century. Although this charming home has been preserved over the years, it stands in need of modernisation to meet contemporary living standards. The interior features traditional elements such as exposed beams and leaded light windows, while the spacious triple-aspect living/dining room extends over 30 feet and connects seamlessly to the tranquil gardens through French doors. The galley-style kitchen maintains a classic layout linking well with the main entertaining spaces. Additionally, there’s a versatile ground floor room with adjoining cloakroom that can serve multiple purposes, including guest accommodation or a study.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom, providing ample space for family living. The property's grounds boast mature trees and greenery that enhance its privacy, along with a stream adding to its peaceful ambiance. Furthermore, this property includes a detached annexe/studio equipped with kitchenette and shower facilities—ideal for guests or as a home office—alongside former stables and outbuildings that could be repurposed or developed.
With generous grounds allowing for potential extensions or reconfigurations (subject to planning), Rake Manor Lodge presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a character home that they can tailor to their personal tastes.
