A truly exceptional country residence occupying an enviable and wonderfully private Green Belt setting, Middlewood Lodge is surrounded by open fields and enjoys magnificent views across the surrounding hills to both the north and south.
The adjoining 1 acre paddock and the return to use of the existing Tool Room to its original purpose as a Horse Stable, presents an at-home equestrian opportunity
Set within approximately 1.6 acres, this impressive stone-built home combines substantial, beautifully appointed accommodation with landscaped gardens, paddock, lake, stream, extensive parking and a superb range of versatile outbuildings.
Originally constructed circa 1989 and built in attractive random natural stone beneath a slate roof, the property has been extensively renovated and modernised to provide a comfortable and highly versatile family home. Arranged over two floors with two separate staircases, the accommodation offers four generous double bedrooms, including an outstanding principal suite measuring approximately 8m x 4m, with an adjoining 8m x 2m walk-in wardrobe. The principal bedroom is fully air conditioned, while Bedrooms Two and Four benefit from built-in wardrobes. There are two bathrooms together with an en-suite, a large lounge, substantial dining kitchen, dedicated dining room within the garden room/conservatory, spacious first-floor office and large storage room.
The impressive dining kitchen and separate utility room are exceptionally well equipped, featuring two fridges, two freezers, a full-height wine/drinks fridge-cooler, two microwaves, plate warmer, dishwasher and a Rangemaster Professional double oven with five-place induction hob. Extensive built-in storage and white quartz worktops add both practicality and style. Plumbing is provided for a washing machine and dryer. All appliances are under warranty, while the oil-fired boiler was replaced in November 2025 and benefits from a six-year warranty. Excellent broadband speed and Wi-Fi provide modern connectivity for both family life and home working.
The garden room/conservatory creates an impressive additional entertaining and dining space, overlooking the beautifully landscaped rear gardens. A substantial patio provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests or simply enjoying the tranquillity and sunshine. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn and complemented by extensive, carefully selected shrub borders providing year-round colour and interest.
The approximately 1.6 acre grounds are enclosed by traditional natural dry-stone walling and offer an exceptional degree of privacy and versatility. The residential plot of approximately half an acre includes parking for five vehicles on a block-paved driveway. The adjoining Lower Yard, also approximately half an acre, provides further parking for around four vehicles and includes two large detached garages, each with double electric up-and-over doors. A further detached double garage has been converted into a dedicated dogs’ room, alongside a Tool Room which could potentially be returned to a fully functional 3.7m x 3.7m horse stable, subject to removal of the existing tools.
The approximately 1 -acre paddock is accessed from the Lower Yard via a five-bar gate and also directly from the bridleway. A charming trout stream runs through the paddock, which also incorporates a lake, creating a particularly attractive and distinctive rural environment.
Accessed via an unadopted road/bridleway, Middlewood Lodge offers a rare combination of seclusion, space and natural beauty while remaining well connected to the surrounding area. The property benefits from mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating and drainage to a septic tank, which has been trouble-free for more than 15 years.
