Property description
Welcome to Icen Lodge.
Thought to have originally been a gardener's dwelling and part of Icen Estate. It now sits in a tranquil, private plot of approx. 1.25 acres. The humble dwelling saw a radical change to its appearance in the late 1980's. The renowned architect David Clarke designed the current home; having been commissioned to design properties in the local area for clients, apparently such as Harry Redknapp. It will now entice you to come up with plans and schemes to renovate and update, undoubtedly this will become a wonderful, modern home.
Stepping into the HALLWAY from the front door, a delightful lobby greets you. The ceiling height gives you a sense of space and style. Here you will find TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a FAMILY BATHROOM.
Step through into the SITTING ROOM, which has an unusual, vaulted ceiling and whitewashed stone interior, and features a minstrels' gallery, at first floor level, which can be viewed from the sitting room. The log burner is placed in the centre of a floor to ceiling red brick statement wall. To one end there is a CONSERVATORY, which allows natural light to come into the house and where you can enjoy the nature of the external surroundings.
Take a few steps down to the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, which is certainly a testament to the year it was conceived. There is plenty of workspace and currently has cupboards and storage. The dining area has wide sliding doors, that open out to the garden. From the kitchen, there is a UTILITY ROOM, which is a practical space and has a sink, cupboards and a door to the garden.
There are two further DOUBLE BEDROOMS, one with a SHOWER EN-SUITE and the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, which is generous in size and also with an EN-SUITE.
Outside
From the main road, an electric gate opens to allow you access up a private drive. Approaching the private entrance to Icen Lodge, is a delight, with well-established planting which allows for privacy. There is plenty of parking in the driveway. A large DOUBLE GARAGE is attached to the house, with a pedestrian door to the rear garden. This could easily become food for thought, in your plans to renovate and remodel the lodge.
The large plot is mostly lawned, but also has established trees and mature shrubs and plants. There is a SHED and a GREENHOUSE and a small ornamental POND, although slightly overgrown, is complete with fish!
Location
Icon Lodge lies approximately two miles from the Saxon walled market town of Wareham, famed for its delightful riverside setting and as the 'Gateway to the Isle of Purbeck and Jurassic Coast'.
Nestled in a picturesque and sought after location, this is a tranquil rural retreat with the convenience of local amenities within easy reach.
Wareham itself offers a choice of shops and restaurants, a popular independent cinema, a health centre and well-regarded schools, together with mainline rail links to London Waterloo (approx. 2.5 hours). Also close at hand are 18-hole golf courses, a yacht club and beaches at Studland, Swanage and Lulworth Cove. Poole and Bournemouth are just nine and thirteen miles away respectively.
