3 Bedroom Detached House for sale in West Pennard

2 3 2

Occupying a peaceful position within the heart of West Pennard, tucked away from busy roads yet within easy reach of the village school, church and village hall, The Lodge is a charming and beautifully proportioned period cottage that has been thoughtfully extended over the years. Rich in character with exposed beams, stonework and a striking inglenook fireplace, the property combines period charm with modern convenience, while the generous south-facing gardens provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

Accommodation
Set back from Church Lane behind a natural stone wall, the property enjoys a generous gravelled frontage providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to the attached single garage, complete with power and lighting. Mature shrubs and flowering plants soften the approach, creating an attractive first impression. The entrance hall provides access to the principal ground floor rooms, cloakroom, garage and a useful storage cupboard. At the heart of the original cottage lies the characterful sitting room, featuring exposed ceiling beams, natural stonework and an impressive inglenook fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove. This inviting space opens into the later extension, creating a versatile living area that flows naturally through to the dining room, where dual aspect windows overlook the gardens and stairs rise to the first floor.

The kitchen has been updated with a contemporary range of handleless wall, base and drawer units complemented by integrated appliances including a Neff double oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher. A window to the front aspect allows plenty of natural light, while a generously sized utility room provides further storage, additional appliance space and houses the Worcester oil-fired central heating boiler. Accessed either from the garage or directly from the garden, this practical space is ideally suited to modern family living.

The first floor accommodation is arranged around a split-level landing and offers three bedrooms together with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect outlook, including lovely views over the rear garden, together with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from dual aspect windows and fitted storage, while bedroom three provides an ideal guest bedroom, study or nursery. The family bathroom is fitted with a traditional white suite including a panelled bath with Victorian-style hand shower attachment.

Outside
Outside, the southerly facing rear garden is a particular highlight, extending well beyond the cottage and beautifully stocked with an abundance of mature shrubs, flowers and established planting. A paved terrace adjoins the house, leading onto a large lawn enclosed by colourful borders and specimen plants. Beyond an attractive arbour, a further secluded garden area provides additional lawn, a greenhouse and timber shed, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil setting that enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day.
