Originally the Reservoir House, Waterside Lodge was

constructed in 1895 to exacting Victorian standards, and in

more recent years the house has been significantly

renovated, modernised and extended, with no expense

spared. The renovation work has enhanced the inherent

character of the property, including the re-fitting of the

kitchen with a fabulous Smallbone of Devizes kitchen

complete with Miele appliances. A former stone outbuilding

is now a smart detached self-contained annexe, ideal for

visiting relatives or for letting out, and the house has been

extended on the ground floor to provide a Cloakroom, Utility

and entrance area - Planning Permission has been granted

to further extend this area, and also to create an impressive

Double Bedroom on the first floor which would have a

magnificent panoramic outlook, with an en suite Bathroom

and Study Area.

Heated throughout by an oil-fired radiator system, the

accommodation is described in brief below using

approximate room sizes:-

THE ANNEXE Originally a detached stone outbuilding, the
