Property description
Situated in the town's most prestigious street, White Lodge is an elegantly proportioned four bedroom detached family residence with coach house offered for sale by Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire. Standing within approximately half an acre of landscaped grounds, plus a separate adjoining plot, with field side views to the rear this Victorian home includes a stunning triple aspect garden room, opulent drawing room and bay sided formal dining room. The modern kitchen with breakfast area is ideal for relaxed socialising and a generous study affords a quiet workspace. In addition to the indulgent en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom there is both a contemporary family bathroom and separate shower room. A premier home of intimate elegance which stands the test of time. Built to take advantage of the southern views across open farmland, White Lodge is a superbly presented and extended four bedroom detached late Victorian home in the most prestigious street in the historic market town of Brigg.
Standing within approximately half an acre of landscaped grounds this mellow brick residence is a statement home of intimate elegance and balance. The traditional high ceilings, deep skirting boards and delicate return staircase are balanced by the crisp lines of the contemporary kitchen and bathrooms and the deep double glazed windows suffuse the home with light. The former two storey coach house – currently used as garaging – is ideal for separate workspace or additional accommodation if required.
The entrance hall with cloakroom opens to both the wide welcoming reception hall and to a generous west facing study with deep windows and fitted shelving. Beyond the reception hall twin doors open to the stunning triple aspect garden room with wood burning stove and doors to the southern grounds. There is a taste of opulence in the principal drawing room with its wide Adam style fireplace and the bay sided dining room – currently used as a games room – would be ideal for formal family celebrations. The heart of the home is centred on the excellent contemporary kitchen with its crisp granite work surfacing contrasting with the white fronted units and the large breakfast room is designed for relaxed socialising. A practical utility completes the ground floor.
To the first floor a wide landing serves four double bedrooms – one of which benefits from an indulgent en-suite bathroom – together with both a stylish family bathroom and a separate shower room.
White Lodge is modestly screened from the front by the coach house and the horseshoe drive provides extensive reception parking. There is also a separate building plot with outline planning permission for a dwelling to the immediate west of the property. It is however from the rear that White Lodge is defined. The landscaped grounds are ideal for family games and weddings, a columned entrance adds a sense of grandeur and the open views afford excellent privacy.
Since 1890 White Lodge has only had four owners – testament to its status as a family home of distinction and charm. A home that stands the test of time.
Adjoining Building PlotIncluded in the sale is an adjoining building plot to the immediate west of the property which is approx. 30 metres in depth and approx 9.5 metre's broad at its narrowest point, but widening to 11.5 metres wide approx. at its most southerly boundary. There is currently outline planning permission for a dwelling here. This would allow any discerning purchaser to either create the ideal annex, allowing any dependant or teenage relative their own space, whilst still be nearby and part of the larger family group, or alternatively, (subject to the relevant permissions) this could be the site of a substantial garage/workshop and/or home office.
