A Stone Built Period Home With Separate Barn Offering The Potential For Development

Dating back to 1730, The Old Lodge offers a unique glimpse into early Georgian heritage. It is an attractive stone-built period home that has been thoughtfully modernised and extended by the current owners during their 31 year tenure, occupying a peaceful rural position within Wighill Park. Spanning over 2500 sq. ft, the main house marries expansive family living with an abundance of historic character.

Original stone walls, exposed beams and a series of striking fireplaces create a seamless dialogue between period elegance and contemporary interiors. The ground floor offers a well-balanced arrangement of reception rooms suited to both formal entertaining and everyday family living. At the heart of the home is an impressive 31ft dining room and family area with tiled flooring and dual-aspect windows overlooking the surrounding grounds. Adjoining this space is a traditional country-style kitchen fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a dual range cooker and hand-hewn oak beams. Further reception rooms include a comfortable sitting room and an elegant drawing room, the second space features exquisite Yorkshire stone flag flooring. Both rooms are centred around fireplaces, together with a bright sun room opening onto the south facing terrace. A utility room and a ground-floor cloakroom complete the accommodation.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, which benefits from extensive built-in storage and an en suite shower room. One of the remaining bedrooms is currently arranged as a home office and features built-in storage together with a skylight. Several of the bedrooms retain attractive period features, including vaulted ceilings and exposed structural timbers. A contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.
