Description
Quite honestly, this is one of the most interesting and extraordinary country homes we’ve offered for sale in many a year. Set within its own 10-acre plot, hidden away behind mature trees and hedgerows and accessed via a curving drive, Southover Lodge has a real charm and feel of tranquillity.
Ideally organised for anyone looking for an equestrian property where you can view your beloved horses from the window of your home, there is a mix of block and wooden stables around a concrete yard, and the paddocks are arranged so they can be rested between seasons. Beautiful views can be enjoyed South towards Lansdown over Abson church to the Southern end of the Cotswold escarpment beyond, to make this a wonderful setting. Incredibly generous accommodation measures over 3200 sq ft, benefits from a light and airy feel throughout, from the many lofty beamed ceilings and large dual aspect windows. There is a heated swimming pool with pool house and large patio within the formal gardens, plus Japanese and walled gardens, vegetable plot and orchard providing plenty of opportunity for anyone with green fingers. There is also garaging for several vehicles, tractors or mowers and enough driveway parking for horseboxes and all the family!
