Located at the Western end of the town, The Lodge is ideal for a
level walk into town, or hopping on a bus at the top of the drive,
making it a convenient location. Converted approx 30 years ago, the
former NHS buildings are of architectural significance and as such,
the character is somewhat protected by its Grade II listed status.
The flats are leasehold and the head lease and freehold are now
owned by the residents meaning there is an element of control over
the management charges and how the money is spent see more lease
details later which will give peace of mind to many.
This flat is unusually large in its footprint and offers a lot
of extra space above what would often be expected from a conversion
at The Lodge. The access is rather nice within a short walk of the
car park, a pathway leads through the inner gardens and the
entrance stairs are shared with just one other flat and are kept
tidy. Being a second floor flat, the views are beautiful over the
surrounding countryside and again, quite a unique advantage of this
property. The layout gives two bedrooms with the master bedroom
having an ensuite bathroom and the family bathroom is on hand for
guests too. A light corridor leads to the kitchen dining room which
has been recently updated and is a beautiful room with plenty of
room for a dining table and makes a sociable entertaining area. The
kitchen has been well fitted and in itself is a feature of the
flat. The living room is full width and has exposed roof trusses to
add character and the feeling of space and with windows at both
ends, it is again a light room. There is mains gas central heating
throughout with a modern boiler.
Outside is communal with ample parking available for residents
and their visitors. The gardens are able to be used by residents
too and the upkeep of them is part of the monthly maintenance
payable.

Following recent legislative changes regarding blocks of flats,
