Location
North Lodge is situated in a rural position and yet is very convenient to local shops and amenities with the centre of Bridgend being only about 2.7 miles to the south-east, while the Bridgend Designer Outlet and neighbouring Sainsbury's superstore are also nearby. The M4 motorway at junction 36 is within a short drive away providing quick access to neighbouring cities with Swansea to the north-west (about 25 miles), Cardiff and Newport to the east, (about 23 miles and 33 miles respectively), with the Severn Bridge taking you onto the south-west of England and beyond. The famous seaside resort at Porthcawl is also close by being about 7 miles to the south-west.
Ground floor accomodation
An impressive columned porch leads into a large reception hall with vaulted ceiling and cloakroom and storage cupboard lying off. Open plan to the hall on the left is the superb sitting room, again with vaulted ceiling, exposed roof timbers, French doors to the courtyard and a grand fireplace with wood burning stove providing a warm focal point. A door leads off in the corner to the dining room with double aspect and French door to the courtyard. A door leads through to the excellent kitchen breakfast room with a beautiful fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, character flagstone floor, French doors that open out to the side patio and another door to the side porch and door to the front of the Lodge.
To the right of the reception hall is the ground floor bedroom accommodation. At the far end of the building is the generous master suite with bay window overlooking the side garden, French doors to the courtyard and an en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are on the ground floor overlooking the side garden, one with a bay window. These bedrooms share the use of a sumptuous bathroom suite with bath and separate shower.
First Floor
Stairs rise in-between the dining room and the kitchen to the first floor accommodation. Two further bedrooms are situated on this floor and these enjoy the use of another quality bathroom suite with bath and separate shower.
Annex
A charming detached 1 bedroom annexe building with en suite shower room and exposed stone internal walls is situated near the main gates and is perfect as a peaceful retreat.
Outside
The property extends to about 0.95 acres in total (stms) including all the buildings and grounds. The main residence (north-wing) is attached to a series of outbuildings arranged in an attractive horse-shoe shape with the traditional courtyard lying in the centre.
Coach House
At the head of the courtyard in the east-wing is the old coach house that is now a substantial 5 car canopied garage/workshop with five sets of double doors. A useful covered area connects the north and east wings and leads to a second driveway for the property passing the side garden.
Grounds
The property enjoys generous grounds and gardens including 2 imposing pillared and gated entrances one with double wooden gates that open out into the superb courtyard, and the other with iron gates that lead down a brick paved drive to the side of the property and into the courtyard via the covered passageway. Patio areas lie to the side of the Lodge flanked by a lawned garden with mature trees, bushes, shrubs and flower borders. Beyond the south-wing is a large garden area with lawns and an old outdoor pool that could be re-instated or covered over. This part of the grounds would make an ideal orchard area or could be utilised for other leisure interests e.g. tennis court etc.
Stables
Attached to this building are the old Stables with an original stable box at the far end and a further 3 open boxes and carriage area.
Studio
The Stables are in turn attached to a substantial studio building set over 2 floors with 2 rooms on the ground floor and one on the first floor with WC. This building would be ideal as a home office, gymnasium, cinema room etc.
