Description
Oaklodge was built about 1969 and has been in the same family ownership since its construction. It is accessed via cast iron entrance gates and limestone square-profile gate piers with limestone plinth walls surmounted by cast iron railings. As you descend the driveway, you pass one of two large Oak trees which likely date back to the original Woodlands House. The driveway provides ample parking and the rear garden can easily be accessed from here.
The house has had energy upgrades in recent times to include pumping of the external walls to improve the energy efficiency of the building resulting in a B3 energy rating. Whilst the property now requires investment, its design and layout are well thought out to take full advantage of the sites orientation and views.
As you step inside Oaklodge, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hallway with a gradual ascending stairs and feature return window. From the hallway, you can access a series of reception rooms to include a kitchen/dining room, utility room, guest lavatory, conservatory and two workshops. Most of the accommodation is south facing and overlooks the stunning, south facing rear garden which has been well maintained and offers an array of mature planting, a large patio and generous lawns. The key reception room is a generously proportioned living/dining room which showcases a large natural marble fireplace with brass insert and slate base, bay window and direct access into the gardens. Upstairs, you will find 5 bedrooms, most of which have spectacular, south facing unobstructed harbour views.
