Knowle House Lodge

Knowle House Lodge has undergone an extensive redevelopment and complete refurbishment by the current owners, resulting in a beautifully presented contemporary family home that perfectly blends character features with modern living.

The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall, providing access to a useful home office/study and generous storage space. The spacious sitting room enjoys an attractive countryside outlook to the front and features a charming fireplace with wood-burning stove, together with double doors opening directly onto the garden.

At the heart of the home is the impressive 28ft kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully designed for modern family living and entertaining. This triple-aspect space benefits from Amtico flooring with underfloor heating, an extensive range of fitted wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a central breakfast bar. Bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto the large patio and sun terrace, creating an excellent indoor-outdoor flow. Leading from the kitchen is a practical utility room with additional storage and direct garden access, along with a separate downstairs WC.

The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms, all enjoying delightful countryside views, together with a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower, WC and wash basin. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, benefitting from sliding picture doors with a glass balustrade and a contemporary en-suite shower room. Completing this floor is a modern bathroom with travertine tiling and a stunning view of the neighbouring Lily Farm Vineyard.

Formerly the lodge to Knowle House and believed to date back to 1890, the property retains a sense of history and character while offering stylish and versatile accommodation throughout.
Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping gated driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and complemented by a variety of mature fruit trees and flowering plants. Situated opposite the driveway is a substantial timber-framed double garage, garden store, and separate garden room with decked sun terrace. All buildings benefit from power and offer excellent potential for future conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
