The Accommodation
A timber frame front porch with slate roof provides cover to the UPVC front door which opens into the entrance vestibule with tiled flooring and spacious cupboard located under the stairs, housing the oil boiler and providing additional storage. A traditional nine glass paned pine door welcomes a bright and spacious carpeted hallway with door on the left through to the living room. The living room boasts a triple sided bay window to the front elevation and freestanding woodburning stove set on a slate hearth with brick cladded fireplace, oak mantel and two alcoves either side with shelving.
The shower room located at the end of the hallway is tastefully decorated, finished with Matt Brown stone effect porcelain wall tiling and oak leaf wallpaper. The suite comprises of a curved shower cubicle with mains fed shower and glass screen, pedestal hand wash basin and WC. The dining room is perfectly positioned across the hall from the kitchen, providing a private space for dining with a second woodburning stove and double French doors which step into the conservatory. The large conservatory enjoys 180 degree views of the gardens, benefitting from doors on either side which step onto paved patios.
The kitchen, designed and installed by Wicks, was only installed a few years ago and is complete with a modern range of ‘sage green’ floor and wall units with laminate worktops, incorporating a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, 1.5 bowl drainer sink with mixer tap and space between the units for a Rangemaster. The Rangemaster is included in the sale. There is a back door with steps onto an additional paved patio and veranda, and there is currently planning permission in place for the erection of a rear porch. The first of the bedrooms completes the ground floor. This room has been used as an office but will comfortably fit a double bedroom with plenty of space for freestanding furniture.
On the first floor there are two generous double bedrooms and a smaller box room/single bedroom. The box room would also make for a private study or sewing room. Both of the bedrooms on the first floor are carpeted, each with dormer windows and the primary bedroom features an ensuite bathroom. The ensuite is immaculate, in excellent decorative order and comprises of a freestanding bath, curved shower cubicle with mains fed shower, hand wash basin and WC. There is a large Velux window allowing an abundance of natural light flooding the room.
Externally, Neuk Lodge is approached through double black wooden gates which open onto a graveled driveway with secondary gates providing access to the garage and rear of the house. At the front of the house there is a paved pathway leading to the front door which then continues to the side and widens as an outdoor seating area off the conservatory. The front garden is predominantly laid with grass with a selection of mature plants, hedges and shrubbery. There is a small garden gate at the side of the house leading to the back of the garage where there is a beautiful water feature and secondary lawn which opens into a large green space at the back of the plot. There is a decking area with wooden pergola which overlooks the pleasant gardens and trees at the bottom of the garden. The garage benefits from an electric door with utility room at the side, store and workshop. Neuk Lodge is a stunning and rare property, steeped with history and in immaculate condition, ready to be passed onto the next loving owners.
