A delightful detached Cotswold stone mainly Victorian lodge with gardens, garage and parking, set within easy walking distance to The Square.
Description
The Lodge is a delightful detached property constructed of natural Cotswold stone under a pitched tiled roof. It is believed to have been built in 1850 as the lodge to Maugersbury Manor. It has a very pretty gabled front facade with an ornate porch and flanked to one side by a Cotswold stone mullion bay window with traditional Cotswold stone mullion windows with drip moulds on the first floor.
The Lodge has been extended to include a conservatory to one side and a single garage, utility room and cloakroom to the other. This extension is constructed of painted brick under a flat roof.
The Lodge retains much of its original character with two reception rooms, kitchen breakfast room, cloakroom and the conservatory on the ground floor and two bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The bedrooms enjoy particularly generous ceiling heights.
Set to the rear is a delightful well stocked and mainly south/ south west facing garden.
