North Lodge is a striking historic property dating from around 1870, occupying a prominent position on Cumeragh Lane, and forming the original northern gatehouse to the estate. Believed to have been designed by Henry Littler, the property is recognised for its architectural and historic significance and is included on the Local Heritage Register.
The property retains a wealth of original architectural features, most notably its impressive circular stair turret beneath a distinctive conical slate roof. The original red-brick elevations showcase decorative brickwork, contrasting stone surrounds, gabled elevations, ornate bargeboards and finials, creating a truly distinctive period character.
On entering the property, you are welcomed by a stunning reception hallway with attractive tiled flooring, immediately setting the tone for the combination of period character and contemporary design found throughout the home.
At the heart of the property is an impressive family room and breakfast kitchen, designed for modern family living and entertaining. The beautifully appointed kitchen features integrated appliances, a built-in sound system and spectacular 8-metre bi-fold doors opening onto the rear garden, creating an exceptional connection between the interior and exterior and providing a wonderful space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
The ground floor further provides a formal lounge, utility room with wine fridge, guest WC and a fourth bedroom, offering an exceptionally versatile arrangement for family life, guests, or multi-generational living.
The first floor is reached via the iconic turret staircase, creating one of the homes most memorable architectural moments. The staircase rises beneath a stunning feature drop-down light, with windows drawing natural light into the turret. A beautiful balustrade balcony overlooks the space below, adding drama, character, and an impressive sense of volume to the first-floor landing.
The first floor comprises an exceptionally spacious master suite, enjoying a lovely outlook over the rear garden, together with a dedicated dressing room and luxurious en-suite shower room. Alongside the master suite are two further well-appointed bedrooms and a fully tiled family bathroom, providing an ideal private bedroom level for family living.
Set within a private residential curtilage, the gardens extend principally to the north and west, with the extensive bi-fold doors providing wonderful views and direct access to the garden from the main family living space.
Externally, North Lodge is beautifully complemented by carefully positioned architectural lighting, illuminating the distinctive elevations, iconic turret and surrounding gardens after dark. The lighting creates a warm and sophisticated ambience, showcasing the exceptional character and providing an inviting setting for evening entertaining.
