Full Description: Welcome to Icen Lodge.Thought to have originally been a gardener's dwelling and part of Icen Estate. It now sits in a tranquil, private plot of approx. 1.25 acres. The humble dwelling saw a radical change to its appearance in the late 1980's. The renowned architect David Clarke designed the current home; having been commissioned to design properties in the local area for clients, apparently such as Harry Redknapp. It will now entice you to come up with plans and schemes to renovate and update, undoubtedly this will become a wonderful, modern home.Stepping into the HALLWAY from the front door, a delightful lobby greets you. The ceiling height gives you a sense of space and style. Here you will find TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a FAMILY BATHROOM.Step through into the SITTING ROOM, which has an unusual, vaulted ceiling and whitewashed stone interior, and features a minstrels' gallery, at first floor level, which can be viewed from the sitting room. The log burner is placed in the centre of a floor to ceiling red brick statement wall. To one end there is a CONSERVATORY, which allows natural light to come into the house and where you can enjoy the nature of the external surroundings.Take a few steps down to the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, which is certainly a testament to the year it was conceived. There is plenty of workspace and currently has cupboards and storage. The dining area has wide sliding doors, that open out to the garden.
