With red-brick elevations, including a unique arched porch, and decorative timber to the gables, West Lodge is a charming property with an interior highlighting character features blended harmoniously with modern styling and a neutral colour palette. Inside, double glazed doors open from an entrance hallway into a spacious study with an attractive tiled fireplace, combining to generate a welcoming ambience. A further set of double doors open into a dining room (currently furnished as a TV room) adjoined by an elegant, light-filled sitting room with a bay window and French doors to the rear terrace. Lantern skylights in the well-fitted kitchen/breakfast/family room provide a bright and airy environment, where there is ample space for informal dining and casual seating alongside doors to the garden terrace, affording a seamless transition for al fresco entertaining and dining. The adjacent utility room, fitted with additional storage units, provides space for domestic appliances and incorporates a cloakroom. The utility room enjoys direct outside access via a stable door.

On the first floor the cool, tranquil décor continues, and step level changes create interest. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobe storage and a smart, en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms, one of which features an original fireplace, and a stylish family bathroom.

Outside

High-level evergreen hedging fronts the road, with a pair of electric wrought-iron gates affording access onto the gravelled driveway, which provides ample parking and leads to the detached, double garage. The beautifully-landscaped wrap-around garden is well-maintained and is planted with an attractive selection of architectural shrubs and perennial plants with areas of lawns interspersed with specimen trees. A paved terrace extends across the rear of the house offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation with an outlook over the immaculate curved and circular flower beds which create interest and soften the edge of the grassed area. There are mature trees beyond the boundaries, which include high level hedging, creating total seclusion in this outdoor sanctuary.
