Description
Steeped in local history, the main building of The Lodge started life as a workhouse, built in the 1830s. It was later used as a hospital and expanded with extensions and additions creating what is there today. In the 1980/90s it was converted into apartments with 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments forming the majority of the main buildings. One of the later additions is this semi-detached bungalow, different to most dwellings at The Lodge due to having no-one above or below. Also, its freehold (the majority are leasehold) and it owns its own private garden area and its own parking spaces.
The current owner has transformed the property into a light, contemporary home whilst retaining many of the original features. The high ceilings, the sash windows and parquet floor remind you that its not a new build home. It does however have the mod-cons with a luxury bathroom, a modern fitted kitchen and the d©cor is very up to date and adds to the feeling of space and light. The main living space is cleverly zoned by the flooring to give living and dining spaces and the kitchen is easily accessible from the living areas. There are three bedrooms, plus the aforementioned bathroom with a shower over the bath and illuminated wall niches adding to the style.
Agents Notes: The windows are in need of renovation/replacement, this is not imminent but will be required this is reflected in the guide price. I
It will be noted on a viewing that there is extra space available to utilise above the suspended ceiling. Combines with the roof space, it maybe possible to create further storage depending on design.
