How would you like to own a piece of history situated close by to High Elms Country park.

Neo's is proud and honoured to welcome on to the market this very impressive and unique three bedroom detached cottage. This wonderful Grade II Listed cottage was approximately built in 1751 and has been well loved and maintained by its current owners for the past 18 years who have shared some wonderful memories. It is a great credit to the current owners that I am able to present to you this rare opportunity to own this remarkable and quite simply charming family home. This home has been finished to a high quality and offers charm and an abundance of space and has retained all of its natural beauty and character.

According to records Old Lodge in Shire Lane was occupied by the top hand or foreman in the days when High Elms was a sheep farm. He combined the duties of gamekeeper and estate guard.

The property comprises of a spacious reception room which has a beautiful log burner with brick surround, second reception room which would make an ideal dining room, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with neutral colour wall & base units and Belfast sink. This room has loads of natural light flooding in and has wonderful views of the well maintained garden. To the ground floor there is also a large family bathroom and an additional separate shower room. Just off the second reception room there is a staircases that leads to the 2 large upstairs bedrooms both of which have character beams and feature fireplaces. There is also another staircase just off the first reception room which leads to the cellar which has been converted so it can be used as either a 3rd bedroom or an office.

The property benefits from a beautiful wrap around garden, whether at the front of the property or to the rear which has stunning views and is a place to relax in tranquillity. The Garden offers a great space for entertaining, so if you are looking for peace and quiet after a long day, then look no further as the garden is a real sun trap to relax and unwind with an evening drink or maybe an early morning breakfast. There is a private gated driveway to the side of the property leading to the barn which has been converted into a useable space and there is parking for many cars. The barn comprises of a garage area, internal wooden staircase leading to another floor which has restricted head height but could possibly have the potential to be fully converted into an annexe with planning permission if permitted.

This property itself is situated close by to High Elms Country Park and there is also great access to the M25.
