LOCATION
Chapel Lodge is situated along Chalkcroft Lane in the popular village of Penton Mewsey. The village has a thriving community and boasts an excellent calendar of social events all throughout the year, including quiz nights, fitness classes, tennis and cricket clubs and amateur dramatics. The market town of Andover is approximately 3 miles away and offers a local market, along with educational and leisure facilities. The mainline railway station in Andover provides fast services to London Waterloo or the West. Salisbury, Winchester, Newbury and Basingstoke are all within half an hour’s drive, as well as excellent road links to London, the South Coast and the West Country. In addition to some well-regarded local primary and secondary schools, there are a number of independent pre-prep and prep schools in the area including Rookwood School and Farleigh.
ACCOMMODATION
This quaint, two storey detached dwelling is steeped in history. Once a Victorian Reading Hall, built in 1865 by the then daughter of the Archbishop of York, it was sympathetically converted to residential use in the 1980’s. The property retained some of its character, with vaulted ceilings and galleried landing to the first floor.
The entrance hall, with terracotta tiled flooring and whitewashed brick walls leads down into the open plan kitchen / living room. Blending rustic charm with functionality and fitted with wooden cabinetry, counter tops, and Belfast sink. Open shelving offers both storage and display space, while natural light pours in through cottage-style windows. A useful utility provides adequate space for appliances. The living space offers yet more character with wood burner, exposed beams and terracotta flooring. The staircase provides a lovely architectural feature, whilst the open layout encourages easy movement between cooking, dining, and relaxing. The sitting room offers a more formal room for entertaining, with French doors opening directly out to the front. This versatile space would also serve as a snug, study, or hobby room.
To the first floor are two bedrooms and bathroom. The third bedroom is uniquely open plan with galleried landing overlooking the ground floor. A cast iron Victorian fireplace adds charm to the room and Velux windows flood the space with light.
OUTSIDE
A small front courtyard style garden, enclosed with picket fencing and brick walling . Planted with a variety of shrubs, climbers and plants. Part lawn and part paved, with oil tank and small storage provision.
