About this home

The lodge was built in the 1870s at the foot of the drive to Ashcombe House, and it still has the details an estate paid for: moulded brick, deep eaves on carved brackets, and a gabled porch over the front door. The big house became flats in the 1960s; the lodge has been a family home ever since.

Inside, the ground floor has a sitting room at the front, a dining room, and a kitchen extended in 2018 with a glazed door onto a small terrace. Upstairs the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, and there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The garden wraps around three sides of the house, walled at the front and hedged behind. There is a single garage with power and parking for three cars on the gravel beside it.

Ashcombe village shop is a ten-minute walk; Halbourne station is a six-minute drive.
