Property description
Top hat and tails at the ready..... May I present Top Lodge! A tremendous and imposing detached four bedroom home set in 2.4 acres of grounds. As with the classic top hat, after years of being enjoyed this family home is in need of a little sprucing in order to bring it back to its full beautiful glory! Top Lodge boasts three reception rooms including a large living room with log burning stove, a formal dining room and a study. The large kitchen/dining room has a range cooker and views of the gardens and driveway. The first floor promises four bedrooms, and a family bathroom with storage and wardrobes in abundance. The grounds are vast with a 70ft workshop, several areas of lawn, seating patio areas, woodland and a Victorian brick lined pool circa 75ft long, a luxury indeed! Located privately at the top of a secluded driveway in a leafy area of Apedale this splendid home is conveniently positioned with access to amenities, schooling and commuter links in mind. Top Lodge is a very special property and an opportunity not to be missed, viewing is highly recommended.
