Description

Enjoying a tranquil countryside setting surrounded by far-reaching views, Dawsons Lodge is a charming detached barn conversion set within 0.35 acre landscaped gardens, offering contemporary open plan living, three bedrooms and a desirable setting in the premier hamlet of Hoar Cross. Having received quality upgrades in recent years to include new windows and doors and a refitted kitchen, Dawsons Lodge is serviced by an eco-conscious air source heat pump and under floor heating throughout, as well as having a Contura Scandinavian style wood burning stove to the open plan living space.

A private lane shared with one additional property leads from Thorney Lanes, where gated access opens into a generous driveway belonging to the property. Delightful landscaped gardens extend to the front, side and rear of Dawsons Lodge, being planted with a variety of colourful foliage and flowers and bordered by manicured hedging highlighting far-reaching rural views beyond. A glazed door opens into the reception hall, leading in turn to the magnificent open plan living and dining kitchen, where twin sets of sliding doors open out to the rear terrace and garden. A cloakroom is also accessed from the hallway, and three well proportioned double bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom and master en suite. The generous wraparound garden plot is bordered by both mature woodland and stunning countryside views, and there is plenty of space for the addition of a home office, garden room or garage if desired (subject to relevant permissions).
