Seller Insight
“Infield Lodge has been our cherished home since 2017. What initially drew us to the house was its generous plot—unlike anything we had seen before. We had visited many properties, but when we arrived here, we were simply blown away. The house, built in the 1980s, stood out with its unique character, featuring elegant walnut window frames and doors that add warmth and distinction to the property.”

“We took immense pride in transforming the kitchen and dining room into a single, cohesive space. Previously, we found that we rarely used the dining room, which felt like a missed opportunity. Now, with a brand-new, Premiere kitchen, this area has become the heart of the home and a true reflection of our vision.”

“The lounge is also a beautiful room, with its high ceilings that lend a sense of spaciousness and grandeur. The master bedroom is a haven, complete with patio doors that open directly onto the garden, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors.”

“The layout flows seamlessly, making it feel open and never crowded, even when hosting large gatherings. We often play host during Christmas, and the house comfortably accommodates 30-40 guests. With every bedroom featuring its own bathroom, our visitors always feel at home.”

“As you drive around to the back, you are greeted by a stunning wraparound garden that captures the sun from every angle, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. The dormer upstairs offers its own independent living area, presenting great potential for further development. It also offers a walk-in loft space that could easily be converted to suit various needs.”

“We adore our gardens, which include a paddock area that the previous owners likely used for keeping animals. Now, it’s a sanctuary for wildlife, and our two dogs love to roam through the long grass. There’s a magnificent oak tree with a tree preservation order, adding to the charm and character of the property. The garden is expansive, providing a safe and delightful space for both dogs and children, and it keeps us happily busy with its upkeep. The sunsets and sunrises here are truly breath-taking.”

“The house is wonderfully secluded, with just one set of neighbours, positioned on the edge of the village. It’s a peaceful and serene location, offering a perfect blend of privacy and community. Our neighbours are lovely, always there if needed, and we share a warm rapport.”

“The village itself is peaceful, with just one pub, but it boasts a strong sense of community. There is an active village committee and a village Facebook page that keeps everyone connected.”

“As we look to downsize and be closer to family, it’s with a heavy heart that we consider leaving Infield Lodge. We wish we could pick it up and take it with us. We will deeply miss the space, the tranquillity, and the unparalleled privacy this home offers.”
