Originally built in 1961 and extended in 1986, Hampton Lodge is a substantial detached home that has been cherished by the same family for the past 37 years. Occupying a wonderful position with far-reaching countryside views and generous gardens, the property now requires modernisation and refurbishment, offering an opportunity to preserve its individual character while bringing this much-loved family home into a new chapter.
Steps lead up to the front door, opening into a welcoming ENTRANCE HALLWAY with attractive parquet flooring and useful understairs storage. From here, doors lead to the principal ground-floor rooms, while a staircase rises to the first floor. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, with far-reaching PANORAMIC VIEWS across rolling countryside to the rear, where an ever-changing backdrop of fields and hills creates a wonderful sense of openness. To the front, the outlook extends across the generous garden and beyond, further enhancing the property's sense of space.
The versatile SITTING ROOM has French doors opening onto the front garden, alongside a brick fireplace with stone hearth and timber bookshelves. The room continues into a rear-facing area, where a second brick fireplace houses a VILLAGER multi-fuel stove with back boiler and quarry-tiled hearth. Here, the far-reaching countryside views take centre stage, offering a wonderful outlook to enjoy throughout the changing seasons.
Sliding glazed doors open into the SUNROOM, where exposed timber flooring and expansive views create a peaceful spot to sit and take in the surrounding countryside. Further doors lead directly into the garden, making this a particularly appealing space during the warmer months.
The dual-aspect DINING ROOM features exposed timber flooring and a canted bay window overlooking the garden. A window seat with storage beneath adds character and practicality, while the room comfortably accommodates a large dining table. An opening leads into the rear-facing KITCHEN, where the sink is positioned beneath a window enjoying the countryside outlook. Timber units and roll-top work surfaces are complemented by a NEFF ceramic hob with extractor, mid-level NEFF oven, integrated dishwasher and space for under-counter appliances. A stable door provides side access, while a CLOAKROOM with W.C., basin, storage and space for a washing machine completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the LANDING enjoys further countryside views, alongside loft access and an airing cupboard. The dual-aspect PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has sliding doors overlooking the rear garden and countryside, with an adjoining balcony. The bedroom also benefits from fitted mirrored wardrobes and an EN-SUITE BATHROOM with bath and shower over, basin and W.C.
THREE FURTHER BEDROOMS overlook the front garden, one benefiting from fitted wardrobes. These are served by a FAMILY BATHROOM with bath and shower over, basin and W.C., together with a separate CLOAKROOM.
Although the accommodation requires updating, Hampton Lodge offers generous proportions, distinctive features and a remarkable setting. For those looking to undertake a renovation project, it presents the opportunity to breathe new life into a much-loved home, with its established gardens and beautiful countryside surroundings providing an enduring sense of place.
Outside
The property is set within attractive gardens, offering space and privacy, enhanced by mature hedging, trees and well-established planting. A five-bar timber gate opens onto the driveway, providing ample turning and parking space. An expansive paved front terrace offers a lovely setting for outdoor dining, summer gatherings or simply relaxing in the sunshine. Beyond lies a substantial level lawn, framed by established borders with mature shrubs and plants providing colour and interest throughout the seasons.
Adjoining the house is a single GARAGE with up-and-over door, power, light and useful loft storage. To the rear, a versatile WORKSHOP with window and garden access offers further practicality, alongside space for a tumble dryer. An additional timber, open-fronted GARAGE provides extra parking or storage. To the side, a wrought-iron gate leads past a coal bunker to the rear garden, where there is a timber log store and oil tank.
The lawned rear garden enjoys truly wonderful, far-reaching countryside views, with rolling fields and hills creating an ever-changing backdrop. This peaceful setting offers a sense of openness and a lovely connection with the surrounding landscape.
Location
Situated on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Sutton Poyntz, one of the most desirable coastal communities in the area, this location enjoys a truly charming village atmosphere.
