A delightful renovated period house standing in attractive gardens with about 14 acres

Piggett’s Lodge is believed to date from 1634 and was originally part of the Kimberley Estate. It was subsequently made into two cottages and sold away from the Estate in the 1920’s to the current vendors grandfather.

The property was subsequently converted back from two into one in the year 2000 and underwent a full renovation programme and the extension of the garden and provision of a garage.

Of particular note is the attention to detail and retention of many character features including pamment flooring, exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces with Bressemer’s over and exposed stud work.

Steps lead up to an entrance hall opening to a large dining room with impressive fireplace with inset multi fuel stove, doors lead to the large sitting room with views over farmland to 2 aspects and separate doors to the study and office. The kitchen/breakfast room is spacious with an adjoining utility and cloakroom. A rear hall with fine oak flooring and impressive staircase leads to the first floor with exposed timbers on the landing and within the first floor bedrooms. The attics have further potential subject to planning and building regulations approval for further bedroom accommodation.

This property has 14 acres of land.
