House For Sale £400,000
One of the most distinctive and attractive properties in the town, Searle Lodge is a three storey, bay fronted and detached period residence located within walking distance of the town centre and railway station. Occupying a generous sized, very private and southerly facing plot, this equally generous sized, particularly inviting home is currently used by one family as two large apartments but could easily be returned to its former use as a spacious, five double bedroom family house.
Further advantages include a gas central heating system, uPVC double glazed windows, ground floor and first floor kitchens (each with an extensive range of units), ground floor and first floor Bathrooms (each with an over-bath shower) and two large single garages as well as extensive parking facilities
One of the garages forms part of a range of outbuildings known as "The Trap House" which, together, offer excellent potential for development into further accommodation (subject to planning approval).
The house would benefit from general updating and includes a wealth of Victorian charm and character. Features include a marbled fireplace with open grate in the Drawing Room, a period style fireplace with tiled inset and open grate in the Lounge and a period style fireplace, with recessed log burner, in the Sitting Room.
The expansive accommodation briefly comprises (original use shown in brackets) Ground Floor: Arched Entrance Portico, Enclosed Porch, Reception Hall, Drawing Room, Conservatory, Lounge, Inner Hall, Bathroom, Bedroom (Dining Room), Breakfast Kitchen, Butler's Pantry, Utility Room, Boiler Room and Separate wc.
First Floor: Split level Landing, Sitting Room (Bedroom Two), Dining Kitchen (Bedroom Three), Two further Double Bedrooms, Study, Family Bathroom, Laundry Room, Separate wc and Inner Landing with narrow staircase leading to:
Second Floor: Work Room (Bedroom Five) with extensive eaves storage on either side.
Viewing: Visit 24/7
Grounds
The property is fronted by high brick walls together with maturing trees and bushes and ornate twin gates allow entry to a forecourt offering extensive parking and access to the brick built garages. Garage One (some 27'6" x 10'11" internally) is also directly accessible from Dear Street. Garage Two (some 14'5" x 12' internally) forms part of the previously mentioned Trap House range of outbuildings.
A soft fruits garden extends down the eastern side of the house beyond which can be found a secluded Garden Room (some 21'6" x 8'11" internally), uPVC double glazed and brick construction beneath a polycarbonate roof. An extensive range of brick built outbuildings (including workshop, potting shed and stores) forms much of the northern boundary with a rear courtyard providing plenty of private relaxation space.
A further workshop is attached to the house and two more workshops and a store as well as the Trap House complete the detached range of outbuildings which lend themselves to possible future development.
To the north of the Trap House there is a large, timber framed greenhouse and an orchard.
