Accommodation - A central entrance hall gives way to the property's accommodation with stairs rising to the first floor.
To either side there are two light and airy reception rooms, to the left, the main living room with timber flooring, windows to two elevations and a log burning stove. A door from this room leads to an inner hallway giving access to a spacious utility room and to the indoor swimming pool/gym. To the right of the central entrance hall is a hallway that gives way to a snug area with French doors out to the garden and then on into the open plan dining kitchen. The impressive open plan dining kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams with both the dining and seating area having bi-folding doors creating a wonderful flow from in to out. The kitchen area itself has a comprehensive range of timber-built units with all integrated appliances, a large island with a breakfast bar and an AGA. A door from the kitchen leads to another inner hall with further utility space, a downstairs cloakroom and stairs leading to a one-bedroom annexe.
To the first floor of the main house there is an incredible master suite covering approximately 85 ft², plus two further well-appointed double bedrooms with views to the rear. The master suite is made up of a dressing room with ample built-in wardrobes, a spacious en-suite bathroom and a bedroom area with bi-folding doors opening out to a covered balcony overlooking beautiful countryside views.
The annexe itself includes a well equipped kitchen area, a large and light-filled living room and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes plus an en-suite bathroom. This annex is ideal for independent older children or as an entirely separate suite for visiting guests.
Outside - Staddle Barn Lodge is approached through electric gates and onto a sweeping gravel drive with room for ample cars, with additional parking being available in the garage and cart barn. To the rear the majority of the expansive garden is laid to lawn and beautifully planted with established plants and shrubs providing year round interest. A terrace wraps around the property offering wonderful spaces for outdoor entertaining during the warmer months. The gardens have open countrywide views affording a real sense of privacy. These glorious views can also be enjoyed from the all-weather tennis court, well located in the left hand corner of the plot.
Staddle Barn Lodge takes its names from the beautiful barn, mounted on Staddle Stones which sits to the left of the main property on passing through the gates. This historical barn creates immediate impact on arrival as well as offering further office/social/lifestyle space.
