Lodge Cottage, Vale Royal Drive, Whitegate CW8 2BA
Welcome
Welcome to Lodge Cottage. Perhaps one of the most iconic properties in Whitegate, Lodge Cottage is a Grade II listed sympathetically extended and refurbished home with just under an acre of gardens.
As soon as you step through the front door, the close attention to detail in the refurbishment is evident. Tastefully decorated throughout and oozing charm and character.
Reception areas
The dining room is at the front of the property and has a delightful bay window that fills the room with light, the perfect location to host a dinner party with friends.
The living room is at the other end of the property and epitomises a country cottage feel. Beamed ceilings seem to envelop you as you enter and create a cosy ambience, whatever the time of day. Light the log burner in the evening and hunker down in front of the TV, or in the summer months, throw open the French doors to let in the fragrant floral breeze from the garden.
The heart of the home
Sandwiched between these two delightful reception rooms is the kitchen. A bespoke fitted kitchen filled with all of the mod cons. White units and surrounding tiles bounce the light around even the smallest corners so that the household chef can always work comfortably.
Time for bed
The first floor is where you will find the bedrooms, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. One of the double rooms has a separate dressing room and access to a study, the most wonderful place to sit, work, and gaze upon in those moments of daydream when you need a little creative inspiration. (Please note that the Study and Dressing Rooms have previously been used as Bedrooms.) The family bathroom is a calming space, perfect for a long soak in a bubble bath after a busy day.
And for guests
The annexe is a fantastic addition to this family home. Located just across the patio area, the double bedroom has French doors that can be opened fully to let the outside in. Imagine your guests enjoying their morning coffee from their bed as they listen to the vibrant birdsong. There is a shower room with a modern white suite and a large walk-in shower cubicle with a drying area. This space is ideal for an older child or extended family to have their own space or as an excellent hideaway for when guests come to stay.
The Gardens
The outside space at Lodge Cottage is exceptional. At a little under an acre of mature gardens, there is ample room for garden parties, barbecues with family and friends or children‘s games. Established trees and shrubs surround the garden with various seating areas to make the most of the sun throughout the day. Backing on to Church Woods with access directly into the woodland ensures the garden is filled with birds and wildlife and gives an excellent playground for children. There is even a treehouse for an added sense of whimsy.
As this is a family friendly property its good to know that Whitegate C of E Primary School (rated Good by Ofsted) is only a 10 minute walk away. Older kids have a little further to travel to reach Hartford High School (another Good school) but its still less than a 10 minute drive or 20 minute bike ride away. The Lodge is also conveniently located less than 10 minutes drive from both Winsford and Northwich, with the M6 and M56 less than 20 minutes drive away.
If you prefer to go by train, theres a choice of West Midlands trains from Hartford to Liverpool or Birmingham or Northern trains from Greenbank to Chester or Manchester Piccadilly. Both stations are only a short drive away.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
