Main Description

Hurstwood Lodge South is a beautifully renovated and immaculately presented Victorian villa with an intriguing history. The original Hurstwood Lodge was once used as a nursing home and was divided around the time of WW2 to create two stunning properties. This elegant property has retained the architectural features of the period including classic high Victorian ceilings, picture rails, cornicing and original sash windows, and also features lovely French windows in the breakfast room which open directly into the garden. Original wine bins can be found in the cellar, an area of the property which provides plenty of additional storage space. The current owners have continually maintained and enhanced the property. Soon after their purchase the roof, plumbing and electrics were replaced and two years ago a new boiler was installed. Hurstwood Lodge South makes a perfect family home as it affords so much space, privacy and flexibility and is also perfectly situated for commuters.
