House For Sale £875,000
Ivy Lodge enjoys a prominent position slightly set back from Badby Road and offers everything one looks for in a Grade II Listed family house in a highly sought after village. The house dates back to 1689 and within the last 8 years, the current owners have added a stunning vaulted kitchen / breakfast room which enjoys both wonderful views and direct access into a private south facing rear garden.
This family house is presented in extremely good condition from top to bottom and lying to the north west is a traditional stone outbuilding that offers great potential for conversion to home office / studio or indeed, an independent annexe, subject to obtaining the relevant planning and listed building consents.
A panelled front door opens into the central tiled reception hall with all ground floor rooms radiating off and stairs rising to the upper floors.
The sitting room enjoys a double aspect with stone fireplace housing a wood burner and to either side are full height fitted cupboards. Lying across the hall is a flagstone dining room currently used as a family room with traditional Inglenook fireplace, original window seat and exposed central beam.
Steps lead down from the hall to the recently added vaulted kitchen / breakfast room with views over and direct access into the rear garden. The kitchen has a refreshingly farmhouse feel with free standing units and island along with pewter four oven gas fired aga.
The cloakroom is part panelled, lying below the sitting room and accessed off the hall via steps lies, the dry cellar with stone floor. The cellar provides useful storage and doubles up as a utility and boiler room.
First Floor
The landing runs along the front of the house providing access to two generous double bedrooms, one being the master with modern en suite shower room. The family bathroom has recently been refitted and includes a part recessed fully tiled shower cubicle.
Second Floor
Three further double bedrooms lie on this floor with both the bedrooms and landing having access to eaves storage.
Outside
The front garden is retained behind a stone wall and is a perfusion of colour with well stocked herbaceous borders through which gravel paths meander along with a paved path sweeping up to the front door.
Located to the east of the house is the drive providing off road parking for one vehicle and offering access to the rendered single garage.
To the north west of the house and backing onto Badby Road is a single storey traditional stone outbuilding offering potential for conversion. It is currently divided in two and used as a store/games room with wood burner and separate workshop.
The main south facing garden lies to the rear and enjoys a high degree of privacy partly enclosed by stone walling, close boarded fencing and mature hedgerows. Two paved seating terraces are strategically positioned to enjoy views across the garden which in the main, is laid to lawn and interspersed with specimen trees and orchard area including both apple and pear trees.
Close to the house is a brick built pizza oven and barbeque area. In the far corner is a part open-fronted machinery store for storing garden machinery and firewood. Running along the western boundary is a kitchen garden with a number of raised beds along with Cedar hardwood framed greenhouse on a brick base. This gives way to a wooded area with wooden tree house offering a great play area for children.
The rear garden benefits from direct vehicular access off Bradbury Road which is very useful when needing to access the rear garden with machinery. This access also offers potential to create more off road parking if required or indeed the addition of further garaging, subject to planning. With the garden size there is also plenty of space to accommodate a swimming pool if desired.
