5 Bedroom Village Property: £1,300,000 (GBP)

Located on the edge of the village, this substantial house was largely rebuilt in 1905 with a wonderful collection of period features set in almost seven acres of mature grounds with outstanding leisure amenities including Snooker Room, Heated Swimming Pool, Tennis Court, Garaging and impressive Equestrian Facilities including Stable Block, Manege and Paddocks.

Eggington Lodge
Although dating originally from the 17th century, the house was largely rebuilt in 1905 using architectural salvage to provide a wonderful mix of period features. A new wing was added approximately 80 Years ago to provide garaging and a snooker room. This wing provides potential for conversion to a self-contained flat/annex, if required. The wing, it should be noted, adjoins the flat and garage block of nearby Eggington House. The house itself is not listed although it is within a conservation area and the property is a registered smallholding. The accommodation is set over two floors and all the principal rooms are of elegant proportions and overall, presented in very good decorative order.
