There are few Grade II* listed homes that capture the transition from Tudor to Jacobean architecture so clearly, and fewer still where both have been brought into modern life without losing what makes them rare. This is one of them. Beyond the house the orchard and gardens stretch to the edge of a 200-acre lake, with views that shift quietly through the day and seasons. Three separate annexes offer something rarely achieved, true independence for extended family within a single home, with a proven track record as high-quality holiday accommodation generating approximately £65,000 per annum, for those who may wish to continue it. Outside, the covered kitchen and pizza oven create a natural place to gather, supported by an orchard, a children’s play area, and a well-kept chicken coop that brings a simple rhythm to daily life. A home that brings together heritage, modern family living, and a setting of rare quality.
The heart of the house, with a Grade II* carved stone overmantel above the fireplace and a wood-burning stove that holds its warmth into the evening. A glazed panel set into the floor opens a view down to the original brick-lined well, a quiet reminder of how long this house has stood. From here, the rest of the home opens out around you.
A wide, open kitchen built around a central island, where the cooking, the conversation, and the morning coffee all happen in the same place. Modern cabinetry meets a retained brick fireplace, giving the room real character. At the far end, the dining area opens through glazed doors onto the terrace, so summer breakfasts and long lunches move outside without thinking about it.
A proper dining room, centred on a long table beneath a chandelier, with a large window drawing in steady light. Held slightly apart from the kitchen, it comes into its own for Sunday lunches, birthdays, and evenings when the whole family is home.
A quiet room set away from the main flow of the house, looking out across the garden. The light holds throughout the day, making it a natural place to work, read, or simply close the door for an hour.
A self-contained bar with booth seating, a serving counter, and doors that open straight onto the patio. Tucked away from the main house, it gives parties their own space, somewhere friends gather, drinks flow, and the evening finds its own pace.
A generous laundry room with long work surfaces, plenty of storage, and room for everything to be done in one place. Set away from the kitchen, it keeps the busier side of family life out of sight when the house is full.
A large bedroom with exposed beams, a carved fireplace, and windows on two sides that fill the room with natural light. There is space for a seating area as well as the bed, and the ensuite makes it a private retreat at the end of the day.
The view is what makes this room. The window looks directly across the grounds to the lake, so the water is the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing at night. Well proportioned, with its own ensuite, and a room guests remember.
A comfortable double bedroom with good natural light and space for additional furniture. An easy room to settle into, whether for family or guests.
Bright and welcoming, with a large window and an open outlook. A genuinely usable bedroom that works equally well for children, teenagers, or guests staying the weekend.
Built around a freestanding bath, with a separate walk-in shower and twin basins set into fitted cabinetry. Natural light through the window, and the kind of space that takes the edge off a busy morning.
A substantial room on the second floor, with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling that give it real character. Large enough to be used in a number of ways, with a door through to additional attic space for more storage or quiet retreat.
The outdoor heart of the house. A wide paved terrace with a long dining table, a covered outdoor kitchen, and a bar area, all set within easy reach of one another. Long summer evenings happen here, with food coming off the grill, friends staying late, and the lake catching the last of the light beyond the garden. From spring through autumn, this is where the family lives.
A dedicated corner of the garden for the children, with a climbing frame, slide, and space for table tennis and games. Close enough to keep an eye on, far enough to give them their own world. While the children play, the adults can settle on the terrace without interruption.
Established fruit trees that come into their own through summer and into autumn. Somewhere to walk, pick, and sit a while, and a quieter corner of the grounds when the rest of the house is busy.
The three annexes are currently operated as holiday lets, generating approximately £65,000 per annum in revenue. Each is self-contained, well-presented, and set within the wider grounds of the property, giving guests a quiet and private stay while remaining within walking distance of the lake and surrounding countryside. For buyers who do not require the annexes for extended family, the existing letting business can be continued as it stands, providing a meaningful and proven income stream alongside the home itself. The setup is established, the bookings are in place, and the infrastructure is already running. It is a rare position to be in. A home of this quality, with a working business already attached, ready to take on or scale further as the new owner sees fit.
Each annexe is self-contained and arranged to suit different group sizes, from couples to small families. All three sit within the grounds of Lodge Farm, with easy access to the lake and surrounding land. Annexe One A one-bedroom annexe with an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, and a bathroom. Annexe Two The largest of the three. Two bedrooms, a separate sitting room, kitchen and bathroom, with its own private courtyard garden. Annexe Three Two bedrooms and a bathroom, with an open-plan kitchen, sitting room and dining area.
