About this property
Red Lodge is a detached family home that has been thoughtfully developed by the current owners over the past 32 years. Finished to a very high standard throughout, the property offers a light, spacious and well-presented layout that can be adapted to suit individual needs. Uniquely, the house is complemented by a generous parcel of land, making it a rare opportunity within walking distance of Easingwold.
The generous ground floor provides a well-balanced mix of reception spaces that span the full depth of the house. The superb sitting room is centred around a striking log burner and framed by a beautiful bay window that fills the room with natural light. The study provides a great working space and comes complete with built-in bookshelves and storage. At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen-diner, fitted with bespoke cabinetry and featuring a gas Aga, creating a warm and inviting hub for both family living and entertaining. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a well-appointed bathroom, a practical utility room, a useful boot room, and access to a double garage.
The first floor is arranged to provide a superb principal bedroom suite, which enjoys views over the grounds to the rear and benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with walk-in shower and roll-top bath. There are four further well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which also take advantage of the rear outlook, together with a well-appointed family bathroom serving the remaining rooms.
The gardens are beautifully landscaped, with deep, mature borders and expanses of well-maintained lawn. At the heart lies a charming lily pond, providing a striking focal point and a tranquil place to pause. Two thoughtfully positioned seating terraces, set on diagonal corners, create perfect settings for al fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond the formal gardens lies a delightful orchard of apple and pear trees, followed by the paddock, which benefits from side vehicular access and offers excellent versatility. To the far boundary there are three stables and a field shelter, providing superb amenity for equestrian or hobby use.
The front of the property features a substantial driveway providing ample parking, complemented by mature trees. For enhanced privacy, the boundary is enclosed by established hedging.
