The School Lodge is a newly renovated small and cosy 2 bedroom property with expansive views across beautiful estate parkland.
The lodge has a large outdoor patio area where you can sit and watch the world go by (usually the cows grazing!) and enjoy some stunning sunsets.
The lodge is a small and cosy space, ideal for couples or small groups of friends.
Bedrooms:
There are two bedrooms; one small double bedroom on the ground floor, and one loft double bedroom upstairs.
The loft bedroom is low, but there is a Velux balcony window that opens out and gives you some extra space and glorious views over the fields. This is also an ideal workspace, where we have placed an old school desk and chair.
Kitchen:
There is a brand new galley kitchen with all you will need for your stay; dishwasher, washer-dryer, oven, induction hob, fridge, cutlery, plates, cups, and some essentials like olive oil, salt & pepper, bread, butter, and orange juice.
Bathroom:
The bathroom is located on the ground floor, and has a Burlington basin, toilet, bath and shower.
Living and dining area:
The living and dining area is located on the ground floor. There is a smart TV with access to Netflix and Amazon Prime. There are huge bi-fold windows that open out on to the large patio area, perfect for long summer days!
The staircase
It should be noted that the stairs to the loft bedroom are very steep, with paddle steps that are sturdy and comply with building regulations. Please refer to our images. If booking for a family with young children or for an elderly person, please consider if these stairs would be acceptable to you. We do not currently have stair gates to fit these stairs.
The patio
The patio that can be accessed through the bi-fold window of the living room and down a few steps. There is outdoor furniture, potted perennials and views for miles.
Access and parking
The access driveway is shared with the School House, a converted Victorian School where the owners or their guests will often be staying. There is a private parking space for the lodge to the right as you approach the building.
Immediate surroundings
The lodge is next door to the School House and backs onto Marston Estate a Grade II Registered Park and Garden.
On the School House property there are free-range chickens, and often a dog and children. So it should be noted that you may hear chickens crowing, a dog barking and children playing. The chickens sometimes make their way on to the lodge patio, and will quite happily wander inside the lodge if you leave the doors open!
