Ferry Road is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious in Bray. And there, behind a picket fence, you’ll find Needham Lodge, with its charming black and white timber framed exterior, exuding kerb-appeal. Parking is no problem on the block paved driveway – it can accommodate several cars with ease. Oh, and there’s an electric garage too.
Whilst the cottage dates back to the early 1900s, the interior, conversely, has been recently refurbished. A sizeable entrance hall welcomes you in with its cream panelled walls and you’ll find period features are peppered throughout. The characterful living room with its fireplace and quirky feature bay (complete with window seat, to enjoy front garden views) flows into the more formal dining room space. There’s a cosy family room as well, which would also make a superb home office, in addition to a utility room and a downstairs cloakroom.
But the impressive kitchen and breakfast room is the pièce de résistance. Not only is it huge, it’s light and airy too. Full width, bi-fold doors frame the lovely rear garden and blur the lines between the inside and the out. There’s parquet flooring underfoot and a large, central island, which guests will gravitate towards. Worktops are plentiful and contrast against the rich cabinets. Meanwhile sleek, integrated appliances ensure clean lines prevail, and make meal preparation effortless.
Upstairs, there are three, well proportioned, double bedrooms and a family shower room. The master bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and a capacious en suite bathroom where modern touches, such as the chrome towel rail, juxtapose against original beams. Switch your phone onto silent and soothe the day away in the freestanding, roll top bath. Simply sumptuous!
The outside space doesn’t disappoint either. The lush, rear garden is beautifully landscaped and also wonderfully private, with its mature trees and shrubs. Throw parties and entertain friends and family on the lawn, or simply relax with a coffee and the papers in hand.
There is a shed for all your gardening essentials, and summer games. Who’s for a spot of croquet? Enjoy al fresco dining throughout the seasons on the patio area. It’s the perfect setting on balmy days - just add some stylish throws when the temperature dips a little to enjoy this space all year round. Available mid November.
