Description

St Peters Lodge enjoys a wonderful location in the heart of the Old Town, expertly updated to combine its period features with contemporary design. This Grade II listed cottage dates back to about 1650 and is brimming with character throughout. Perfect for commuters, the property is ideally positioned less than a mile from the station with fast trains to London Marylebone.

St Peters Lodge offers beautifully presented accommodation full of character. The bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor and include two elegantly appointed rooms, enhanced by exposed beams and attractive shuttered windows. The principal bedroom features a small dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a freestanding claw-foot bath, while the former fireplace has been transformed with cleverly integrated storage. The second bedroom is served by a well appointed shower room. Just off the reception hall an understairs nook creates a convenient space for a washer/dryer.

The staircase rises from the reception hall to a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space on the first floor. Custom-built shelving perfectly links the downstairs with the upstairs, providing both open storage and a sense of continuity. The room is full of character, with angled ceilings and exposed beams. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke Neptune cabinetry, complemented by Silestone worktops and integrated appliances. There is ample space for a large dining table, and the many windows flood the room with natural light. A large central beam creates a natural division between the kitchen and the generously proportioned living area, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
