The property is immaculately presented throughout and provides approximately 4,000 sq ft of accommodation with light, well-proportioned room ideal for entertaining or everyday family life. The property presents attractive elevations to include brick and render under a tiled roof line. Of note is the stunning kitchen/breakfast/garden room with granite works tops, bespoke handmade units with access to the utility room with large walk-in larder and door to outside. There is also access to the sitting room with fireplace and views over the front. From the garden room area of the kitchen double doors lead out onto the large terrace area.

The ground floor also comprises a fantastic dining hall with fireplace with wood burner inserted, from here access is given to the cloakroom and entrance hall. Double doors off the dining room lead to the triple aspect drawing room with open fireplace with wood burner inserted on tiled hearth with attractive mantle over. The ground floor is completed with a useful study with built in cupboards.

From the dining hall an elegant staircase with half landing and views over the rear garden leads up to the first-floor landing where access is given to the bedrooms. The principal suite is an attractive room with bay window, en suite and large dressing room. On the first floor there is a further bedroom with en suite facilities, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. An internal viewing is highly recommended by the sole selling agents to appreciate the superior accommodation on offer.

OUTSIDE

Wellington Lodge sits in approximately 1.35 acres of land and is approached over a hard standing driveway, giving ample parking for several cars. Access from here is given to the double garage. The garden at the front of the property is predominately laid to lawn with mature trees and herbaceous borders. The main garden is very well-established and can be found at the rear of the property, and features a substantial terrace with swimming pool, detached pool house, incorporating a changing room, kitchenette, shower room and plant room. The garden nearest the property can easily be gated off for the safety of children and pets. At the far end of the garden there is a fenced tennis court. The gardens are bordered by established hedging, and the finely developed borders include strategically planted shrubs and trees, planted by the current owners.
