Castle Lodge is a gem of a property on the edge of the Orchardleigh estate. The detached house is Gothic in style with parts of the property dating back to the 17th century. It stands today as a three-bedroom retreat set in c.2 acres of garden and woodland. The current vendors have undergone a sensitive renovation of the property and empathetically restored it to a rare and elegant country home.
The entrance is via a hallway with quarry tiles and a double-height ceiling which show off the Crittall window above the front door. A handy w/c is located just off the hall. To the left of the hallway lies a charming kitchen finished with traditional shaker-style tulip wood units, complemented by a Belfast sink set within the wooden worktop. A electric range oven and hob and integrated dishwasher have also been newly installed. The wood burner is nestled in the exposed stone fireplace, while a spacious pantry cupboard offers ample extra storage space. The elegant sitting room is located on the south side of the property, inviting light in from the dual aspect traditional leadlight windows. A central open fire is surrounded by a wooden carved mantle.
The staircase ascends from the sitting room to a landing, where a mullion leadlight window offers expansive rural views of the estate. The primary bedroom is beautifully proportioned, mirroring the living room below. Two additional bedrooms are located at the back of the house, featuring the same characteristic throughout. The family bathroom has been fitted with a traditional white suite and finished with a modern metro tile.
The gardens of Castle Lodge have a charming and enchanting ambience, featuring a wide variety of mature shrubs and trees, herbaceous borders, and meticulously maintained lawns. A delightful gravel path leads from the driveway, leading visitors around the garden. A captivating pergola, complete with an outdoor fireplace, forms a picturesque garden room. The walled garden offers numerous secluded spots to appreciate the delightful view of the tree canopy. Additionally, there is a peaceful woodland area that opens up to a paddock.
'It's high down and far horizon, its deep woods, and the stillness of it's shimmering lake' - William Duckworth 1854 on Orchardleigh estate and grounds.
