Green Lane is also designated as a public footpath, providing a connection to Chapel Lane, which is a bridleway, as well as to several other footpaths.

DESCRIPTION
A charming mid 20th century detached family home which was later extended to incorporate a large ground floor extension. Offering flexible living and the potential for ancillary accommodation, this property retains many features in the original parts of the property, which dates back to 1938. Hunters Lodge would benefit from a program of updating to create a spectacular family home, set within a generous 2.2 acres with stables, courtyard, paddock (with separate access to Green Lane), a tennis court and extensive mature gardens.

On entering the spacious entrance hall, you are immediately drawn to the impressive arched doorway leading to a delightful stone built garden room with sliding external doors. The drawing room has a large stone fireplace, mantel and hearth faces south-west and forms part of the original house, along with a separate dining room. The split level kitchen/breakfast room which forms part of the later extension with central island with hob and extractor above and a range of fitted units. Beyond this is a 30ft games room, a study and two ground floor/guest bedrooms, which offer a variety of other uses but could also be reconfigured to create an annexe (subject to any necessary consents).

On the first floor is a generous landing with access to loft (not inspected). There is a large double aspect principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and two further bedrooms, one of which leads into a generous attic space which could be adapted to improve the size of the bedroom. There is also a family bathroom and separate WC.

OUTSIDE
A driveway leads to a substantial brick-built double garage with a pitched roof, thoughtfully added by the current owners in the 1980s, and to an ample parking area to the front of the house. The property also features a generous paddock which can be accessed from the main drive, the garden and also an independent access via a 5-bar gate onto Green Lane. At the rear, a charming walled courtyard houses two stables which are attached to the house and offer potential for conversion (subject to any necessary consents). There is also an old tennis court.
