This exceptional detached family residence is located close to the centre of town and has been renovated to exacting standards with care given to preserve the original feature.
Virginia Lodge was built between 1922 and 1927 on an area of land that had previously formed part of the Homefield Estate. Sitting centrally on a generous plot with excellent outdoor entertaining space and parking for multiple vehicles.
Entering the property from the front brings you to an entrance porch with original glass detailing to the inner doors which then opens to a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. From here a beautiful arched doorway gives access to a useful boot room which provides the perfect space for coats and shoes. A double aspect sitting room is located at the front of the property and has a fireplace with wood burning stove as the focal point of the room alongside the original panelled ceiling which has been lovingly preserved and restored by the current owners. An oriel window to the side gives light from the South and a large bay window looks over the front aspect. Beside the sitting room is a further reception room which currently serves as a snug. This versatile room, again, has a beautifully preserved ceiling and a feature fireplace with shelved alcove.
Moving towards the rear of the property brings you to a stunning kitchen/dining/family room which is the heart of the home and showcases an impeccable design. This space is nothing short of spectacular with attention to detail evident with every element. Three sets of French doors provide a wonderful connection to the outdoor space. One particularly appealing feature is an oak lined loggia located at the side of property which provides the perfect space to sit and enjoy the garden all year round. The ground floor accommodation is complimented by a beautifully presented WC, a utility room, a rear hallway and boiler room. These areas provide convenience and practical storage space, much needed in a busy family house.
On the first floor the landing area has stairs rising again to the second floor and provides access to three beautifully presented bedrooms. The master bedroom is of particular note being generously proportioned and having access to a newly renovated ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath. The bathroom also has access off the landing giving added convenience to the remaining bedrooms in the house. An additional bathroom is located further along the landing with separate WC beside.
On the second floor the accommodation continues to impress. As you arrive on the landing you are treated to a lovely view over the town from the side window and there is also access to an eaves storage area. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one of which is currently used as a games room.
Outside the property is set back from the road with a driveway which leads to a parking area and then extends on to a further driveway leading to a detached garage in the corner of the plot. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to complement the interior of the house, with plenty of space for you to put your own personal touch and enhance these outdoor areas further.
Virginia Lodge provides an exceptional opportunity for a growing family to own a truly unique home that balances modern convenience with timeless style and character.
