Newtown Lodge is the rarest of gems, nestled in immense countryside like a true treasure; there to be enjoyed only by those lucky enough to come across it. Be prepared to be amazed as you enter this truly special property. The current owners using great skill and taste have created a wonderful home resplendent with warmth and character. The stylish imaginative and comfortable interior is designed around a contemporary open plan. With bright lofty ceilings and beautiful hand crafted picture windows the house is designed to enjoy and reflect the serenity of the location. Currently a two bedroom property, there is a large integral garage in the centre of the home, between the house and the workshop which could easily be converted into more living space while still leaving a large garage. The massive 600 Sq. Ft. workshop is ideal for a studio or workplace, whilst integral to the home it is cleverly hidden to the rear of the property. Through the attractive iron gates the property is approached by a sweeping driveway nicely dissecting the 1.5 Acre mature site which is laid in lawns, vegetable patch, paddock and yard. The boundaries are of mature hedgerow affording splendid views across the majestic countryside and the historic mill. The property is in absolutely immaculate walk - in condition and will satisfy the standards of even the most discerning purchasers.
