Expansive lawns, mature flower beds, and an impressive mix of trees – including fruit-bearing varieties – surround the home, creating a lush, private sanctuary. Keen gardeners will appreciate the dedicated vegetable patch with raised beds, a spacious greenhouse with rainwater collection, and a well-positioned garden shed for tools and storage.
A tranquil pond with a pebble beach and abundant wildlife adds a magical touch to the landscape, while a charming summerhouse with solar lighting and twin doors offers the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the views. Whether entertaining on the quarry stone patio with flint borders, enjoying music through the outdoor speakers, or simply relaxing in nature, Oak Lodge delivers an exceptional garden lifestyle.
With thoughtful features such as Beech hedging, multiple outdoor power points, and integrated lighting, the exterior is as functional as it is picturesque. Oak Lodge offers a rare blend of space, privacy, and modern rural elegance – an idyllic escape for those seeking a secluded retreat with room to breathe.
