The Lodge is a superb family home having been considerably improved by the present owner. The property has also been enlarged and now provides over 5,000 square feet of living accommodation. However the layout is very versatile and is presently arranged to provide a very comfortable annexe on the ground floor. These suite of rooms can easily be used in conjunction with the main house.
Accessed either internally or externally is the self contained annexe which comprises a good sized reception room, kitchen, bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. The sitting room has a fireplace and interconnects with the main drawing room. As such the annexe could easily be made smaller with the main house gaining an additional reception room. Appointments throughout the whole house are of a high standard and the oil fired central heating is complemented by sealed unit triple glazing.
The property is approached through automated gates with a gravelled drive, flanked by raised shrub beds leading up to the house. Here there is ample parking space for a number of vehicles. The drive continues round to the side of the house where the garaging is found along with a garden tool shed and covered log store. The double garage has glazed doors and is humidified for car storage. A separate purpose built building provides for a first class home office with an adjoining summer room which opens out onto a paved terrace. A good sized workshop runs along the back of the building.
The garden is found principally to the front of the house and is mainly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance. It is interspersed with a number of maturing trees as well as infant apple trees. Tucked away to the rear of the house are paved sitting out areas, both for the house and annexe. The boundary is formed by a wide variety of shrubs and the whole property extends to about 1.2 acres.
Location
The Lodge occupies a very private setting, amidst open countryside close to the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border. The nearby village of Castle Eaton supports a church, village hall, pop up community cinema and the Red Lion, a highly regarded pub which also happens to be the first pub on the River Thames. The Thames Path passes through the village. Cricklade (about 3 miles) has a good range of everyday shops and services. The Roman market town of Cirencester is about 10 miles away and has excellent shopping facilities. The main regional centres include Cheltenham, Oxford, Gloucester, Bath and Bristol, all of which are within daily driving distance.
Communications are excellent, with the A419 dual carriageway being about 2 miles away and Junction 15 of the M4 being about 10 miles. Swindon station has frequent rail services to London Paddington taking from 55 minutes.
