The Carpenters Lodge is a self-contained extension to the owner's house and guests can also use the owner's heated swimming pool from Easter to mid-September.
The main lounge is spacious and airy under the pitched barn-like roof, having an open fire, oak flooring, colour TV etc. There are two settees and a 3 seat sofa bed which converts to a full sized double bed.
To one end of the lounge are double doors leading to the dining room with an 8ft pine dining table and 6 chairs. Large French doors lead out to the front entrance area and the private rear pool/patio area. The dining room can also be used as a separate bedroom with the double sofa bed and/or a single futon bed. At the other end of the lounge a staircase leads to the mezzanine floor (main bedroom) which has a double bed, chest of drawers, and views over the pool and surrounding countryside.
From the lounge you enter the fitted kitchen which includes fridge, electric cooker, kettle etc. The kitchen opens to the rear hallway where there is an adjoining small bathroom, containing WC, basin & mirror and a separate shower cubicle with an electric shower. The rear door leads out to the swimming pool and patio area.
Outside there is ample parking space at the front of the property and to the side/rear a very private patio area surrounding the swimming pool. A new courtyard/outside living area has just been added, and this includes a paved area, canal water feature, and decked eating area.
The remaining grounds are the owner's private gardens. The Carpenters Lodge is at the end of Norton Hill and is surrounded by open countryside/farmland with footpaths to the village and beyond.
