About this property

Beautiful detached home approached by a private driveway, with charming original features

Vernon Lodge is an elegant Georgian family home dating from the early 1800s, with later Victorian additions. Beautifully presented throughout, the property retains a wealth of original period features, including open fireplaces, sash windows and impressively high ceilings.
The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall and offers three spacious reception rooms. The well‑appointed kitchen features a central island and Aga, with a breakfast area to one end and access through to the conservatory, which opens directly onto the garden. An office, utility room and cloakroom located to the rear of the house complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and en‑suite shower room. There are three further well‑proportioned double bedrooms, all with built‑in storage, one of which has an adjoining room ideal for use as a dressing room. A generous family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to the front of the house and continuing around to the side, providing access to the double garage, which benefits from a connecting door into the house and offers potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The gardens and grounds are 0.66 acres and wrap around the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. A terrace extends along the rear of the property, and the gardens are well screened, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
