Welcome to Lodge Cottage, a distinctive Grade II listed property of local historical importance. Situated in the heart of Barrow on Trent village, this freehold home is a true gem. Built in the 1800's as the former lodge to Barrow Hall, the influence of Strawberry Hill Gothic architecture is evident throughout.
Inside, you will find a flexible interior that seamlessly blends the charm and character of its era with modern day family living. The gothic arched windows add to the period integrity, while the abundance of natural light creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The three good sized double bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat, with French doors leading out one of the bedrooms to the manicured south westerly facing garden and patio.
The luxurious bathroom is a sanctuary in itself, boasting a freestanding bath and an enclosed shower cubicle. An additional bathroom provides an electric shower, toilet, wash hand basin and travertine stone floor.
The kitchen of Lodge Cottage is a true highlight boasting a dining space, granite worktops and integral appliances. The octagonal study/second sitting room with its feature gothic windows is a haven of peace and quiet and the versatile accommodation allows for bedroom two to be used as a dining room, creating the perfect space for entertaining. A 20ft living room with French oak floor and log burning stove opens through patio doors into the garden adding both warmth and character. A panelled utility room is situated away from the kitchen providing room for storage and a handy large ceramic sink.
The outside space at Lodge Cottage is equally impressive, with a walled garden that faces south westerly. The generous paved patio area is ideal for outdoor dining, overlooking the manicured lawns adorned with mature shrubs and trees. A summer house and studio are also available by negotiation, providing additional opportunities for relaxation. For those in need of parking, there is a single garage and workshop, as well as off road parking for at least two cars.
