Property description
Description:
This stunning home is being offered to the market for the first time in 25 years by the current owner. Dating from the 18th Century and believed to have originally been part of the Longleat Estate, Winfrid Lodge is an attached family house built with brick elevations under a tiled roof.
It has been lovingly restored into a comfortable family home that will surprise and delight you with its elegance and beautiful proportions.
The house comprises three reception rooms including a south west facing drawing room with wood burning stove, a pretty bright sitting room with original alcove and open fire and a dining room with bay window. The kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a range of fitted units with a 5 ring gas hob, double electric oven, integrated dishwasher and access to the utility room, workshop and garden.
A fine staircase leads to an airy landing with built-in bookcase and the first floor comprises the master bedroom, 4 further bedrooms, bathroom and shower room. An additional staircase leads to a large attic with ample storage space.
A special feature of Winfrid Lodge is the quintessentially sunny and private English walled cottage garden with rambling roses and manicured lawn, a paved area for al fresco entertaining and a large garden shed.
A single garage offers off street parking and additional storage space.
We would recommend a viewing at your earliest convenience to avoid disappointment.
