Full property description

Dating from 1870, Hazeldene Lodge is a handsome Victorian residence occupying an exceptionally private position at the end of a secluded track. A fine example of nineteenth-century lodge architecture, the property is regarded as a building of notable local heritage significance. Its Gothic Revival styling is particularly striking, with rare square knapped flint elevations that make a significant contribution to its architectural character and visual appeal. The accommodation is approached through a conservatory, which opens into a charming sitting room with a feature fireplace. To the front of the house is a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, complemented by a ground-floor shower room/WC. A rear hallway links the sitting room and dining room and provides direct access to the garden. The dining room is an especially elegant space, featuring a generous bay window overlooking the rear garden, along with a further feature fireplace. Stairs lead down to a substantial utility room, which in turn provides access to a useful naturally lit cellar. On the first floor, an ornate staircase rises to a split-level landing serving the principal bedroom, which enjoys views over the rear garden and benefits from an en-suite shower cubicle. Bedroom two includes fitted wardrobes, while two further bedrooms are positioned to the front of the property. These are served by a family bathroom, complete with an ornate stained-glass window that provides a particularly memorable period feature. Further period details include a pitched slate roof punctuated by three prominent chimney stacks and decorative stonework framing the principal entrance, all of which enhance the property's enduring character. Set within secluded grounds of approximately one third of an acre, Hazeldene Lodge successfully combines historical provenance with exceptional architectural merit. To the side of the property is a large, detached double-storey garage with a storage room above. Homes of this calibre are rarely offered to the market, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a distinguished and historically significant country residence.
