Dawson Lodge is a most attractive detached dormer bungalow, superbly positioned on this highly regarded and convenient residential road. Discreetly set back behind electronic gates, the property enjoys excellent off street parking within the cobble lock driveway and is surrounded by a large wrap around South facing garden, offering both privacy and a wonderful sense of space.

The house presents an appealing and timeless façade, with red brick elevations and a distinctive roofline, immediately conveying a sense of quality and charm. Extending to approximately 200 sq.m. (2,163 sq.ft.) the accommodation is generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, providing bright, versatile living spaces ideal for both family living and entertaining.

A porch opens into an impressive double height reception hall, a striking central space that sets the tone for the home. From here, the layout flows effortlessly. The principal bedroom is located on the ground floor and is an exceptionally generous suite, featuring floor to ceiling mirrored wardrobes, recessed lighting and dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens. A large, well appointed en suite bathroom completes this private retreat.

To the rear of the house lies a magnificent drawing room, a beautifully proportioned reception space with a feature curved bay window, refined ceiling detailing and an elegant marble fireplace. Patio doors lead directly to the South facing garden, allowing the room to be filled with natural light and creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen / dining room is bright and functional, fitted with an extensive range of units and appliances, and opens seamlessly to the rear garden through double doors — an ideal space for everyday living. A spacious utility room, with additional storage, boiler and external access, adds practicality. A downstairs cloakroom and wc complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, a dramatic gallery landing, illuminated by multiple roof lights and a front facing window, overlooks the reception hall below and provides access to two further bedrooms. Both are well proportioned, one with an en suite bathroom, making the upper floor ideal for family or guest accommodation. There is also access to attic storage.

The gardens wrap around the property and are predominantly laid out in lawn, interspersed with mature planting and bordered by walls and hedging to provide security and seclusion. A wrap around patio offers excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a timber Barna shed provides useful additional storage.
