This distinguished home forms part of a former grand manor that has lived many lives-having served as a private residence, a boys' boarding school, and officers' quarters during the First World War. The sense of heritage and character remains deeply embedded within its walls.<p></p>Approached through a sense of seclusion and privacy, the property is framed by a substantial private front garden, with a further generous rear garden offering a tranquil outdoor retreat. Together, they enhance the home's sense of space and exclusivity.<p></p>Internally, St Nicholas Lodge is rich in original period detailing and refined architectural features. Elegant parquet and hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings, magnificent original fireplaces, and expansive sash windows create a home of exceptional presence and light.<p></p>The accommodation is both generous and versatile. A grand open-plan reception room combines lounge and dining areas, beautifully framed by a striking bay window. The kitchen is well-proportioned and complemented by a walk-in larder, with additional ground floor spaces including a study, utility room, and bathroom. The first floor offers two double bedrooms, both benefiting from access to a sunroom, while the second floor provides two further spacious double bedrooms, ideal for guests or family living.<p></p>This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true historical significance, blending period grandeur with generous proportions and a peaceful garden setting.<p></p>Room sizes:<ul><li><b>Entrance Hallway</b></li><li><b>Lounge/Diner</b>: 26'3 x 25'3 (8.01m x 7.70m)</li><li><b>Study</b>: 8'1 x 4'8 (2.47m x 1.42m)</li><li><b>Inner Hallway</b></li><li><b>Cloakroom</b></li><li><b>Kitchen</b>: 14'7 x 10'6 (4.45m x 3.20m)</li><li><b>Storage Area</b></li><li><b>Landing</b></li><li><b>Bathroom</b></li><li><b>Utility Room</b>: 10'0 x 5'3 (3.05m x 1.60m)</li></ul><ul><li><b>Bedroom 1</b>: 20'5 x 12'9 (6.23m x 3.89m)</li><li><b>Bedroom 2</b>: 17'1 x 12'8 (5.21m x 3.86m)</li><li><b>Sun Room</b>: 15'8 x 4'7 (4.78m x 1.40m)</li><li><b>Landing</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 3</b>: 16'2 x 12'6 (4.93m x 3.81m)</li><li><b>Bedroom 4</b>: 12'6 x 8'7 (3.81m x 2.62m)</li><li><b>Garden to Front and Rear</b></li><li><b>Garage En-Bloc</b></li><li><b>Summer House</b></li></ul><p> <br/><i>The information provided about this property does not constitute or form part of an offer or contract, nor may it be regarded as representations.
