St Katharine's Lodge is a comfortable and stylish six bedroom family house in a wonderful location on the edge of the Savernake Forest. The house was originally one of the lodges for Tottenham House, and has a wealth of Victorian features which give the property an air of establishment and whimsy. In more recent years St Katharine's Lodge has been cleverly enlarged and linked to a secondary building via a green oak framed, glazed garden room. The house now works seamlessly as a comfortable family home with a highly flexible layout over two floors. The original Victorian lodge, which comprises part of the overall house, is Grade II listed, but the remainder of the house has been excluded from the listing, adding versatility to future plans for the house. The accommodation is centred around a fabulous open-plan family kitchen/breakfast room incorporating a large dining area and seating area beyond, creating a fantastic entertaining space. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke painted cabinetry and an Aga range cooker. Off the kitchen/breakfast room is a charming sitting room/study with a wood burning stove, and windows on two sides, creating a cheerful and cosy space. The glazed garden room link leads through to a delightful, more formal drawing room focused around a contemporary fireplace with a wood burning stove, and smart bespoke bookcases, and views across the attractive gardens. In this part of the house there is a main bedroom suite on the ground floor with a well appointed en suite bathroom, and there are two further bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor. In the original lodge house, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. The layout is extremely flexible, and the older part of the house could easily be used separately from the rest of the property.<br /><br />St Katharine's Lodge is approached down a country track where the house is located close to the historic and beautiful St Katharine's Church. At the front of the property there is a gravelled driveway with parking for a number of vehicles. The gardens and grounds are mature and provide an incredibly attractive backdrop to the property itself. The house benefits hugely from its location on the edge of the forest and looks out towards open green fields on one side, and mature ancient woodland on the other. The garden itself is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrub and flower borders providing seasonal interest throughout the year, with a huge number of roses flowering throughout the summer months in particular. An attractive stone terrace runs along the back of the house, ideal for entertaining and relaxing.<br /><br />The property is situated in the small hamlet of St Katharine's, between Durley and Great Bedwyn, in the heart of the beautiful Savernake Forest and close to the market town of Marlborough. There is a fantastic local community, with a primary school and church in St Katharine's itself, and excellent local facilities in Great Bedwyn, including a village shop, pub, doctor’s surgery and tennis club, and a train station providing services into London Paddington. St Katharine's Lodge is surrounded by fabulous rolling countryside with fantastic walking and riding opportunities all around. Nearby Marlborough offers a wide range of facilities including a variety of high street shops, a Waitrose supermarket, numerous cafes, restaurants and pubs, and a doctors' surgery. Communications in the area are excellent with train services to Paddington from both Great Bedwyn or Hungerford taking from 47 minutes, and easy access to the M4 at J14 linking with London, Heathrow Airport, and the west country. There is a wide choice of schools in the area, including St Katharine's and Great Bedwyn primary schools, St Francis Pewsey, Pinewood, Marlborough College, Dauntsey's and St John's Marlborough.
