BRIEF DESCRIPTION For Sale by Modern Method of Auction, North Lodge is a really handsome cottage, with it's stone frontage and feature windows making a great first impression - and an impressive Split-Level Living Room that is the undoubted heart of this very special property!

The main entrance to the property is to the side, with a door opening to the Sun Room which has patio doors out to the garden and a stone tiled floor. A further door opens to a light and spacious split-level Lounge with steps up to a semi-circular Lounge area that has a curved wall of windows overlooking the Garden and a fireplace housing a log burning stove. From the Lounge, a bespoke wrought-iron spiral staircase leads up to Bedroom Three - a generous space with plenty of eaves storage.

Off the Living Room is the Inner Hallway which the current vendors used as a Home Office space and to your left is the large Sitting Room which has a patio door out to the Garden and so could also make a large, fourth Bedroom with independent access.

The Dining Room has a dresser-style unit with wine rack, and an original feature bow window to the front of the property - and an archway leads through to the Kitchen which has a really good range of Shaker-style units including a 'cook's corner' with integrated double oven, six gas burner/two electric hob and deep fat fryer all with lights and extractor fans over. There is also an integrated dishwasher and fridge, and a cupboard that houses the oil-fired central heating boiler. Off the Kitchen is the Utility area with a door to the Cloaks/WC and a stable door out to the rear Garden.

Returning to the Hallway and on to Bedroom Two which has a feature bay window to the front of the property and a range of built-in wardrobes and a vanity unit with a sink. The family Bathroom has a bath with electric shower over, and there's a useful double storage cupboard in the Hallway. Completing the accommodation is the Principal Bedroom Suite which has extensive built-in wardrobes with over-bed storage, and an arch leads through to the Dressing Area and one of the wardrobe doors is actually the door to the En-Suite Shower Room.

Externally, North Lodge has a wide, open frontage and the paved Driveway leads up to the Garage which has an electric roller door, workshop area and eaves storage.

The generous Garden overlooks grazing land, and is set around a large central lawn with mature borders and trees, a pretty Summerhouse with an electric sun canopy, light and power, patio entertaining areas, raised flower beds, kitchen garden with a purpose-built 35' green house, shed and composting bays - and an orchard area with pear, plum, apple and quince trees.

This really is a unique property with the potential for you to place your own stamp on it - so please call our Market Drayton office to arrange a viewing.
