Georgian grace at Norton

A distinctive, grade II listed Georgian family house, located five miles from both Bridgnorth and the M54 is on the market with Balfours Property Professionals.

South Lodge is a seven bedroom house with outbuildings, set in 1.5 acres of gardens and located on the outskirts of the sought after conservation village of Norton. The welcome to the entrance porch is via an original double half glazed doors with semi circular head and fan radial light. This leads into an elegant and welcoming entrance hall, off which the three main reception rooms are to be found.

Says Tim Main, head of sales at Balfours: “This is a gem for anyone seeking a traditional home with original features. Charming arch headers to the doors and matching alcoves are a jewel in the reception hall, while the limestone floor compliments the original beam adding a contemporary feel.”

The main reception rooms are to be found off the hallway – with the drawing room and dining room achieving the unmistakable balance and proportion associated with Georgian properties. The original detail remains including sash windows with shutters, decorative architraves and original fireplaces each contributing to the graceful ambience.

A four oven Aga and island are focal points within the kitchen, which adjoins a separate breakfast, dining area and a small enclosed courtyard for outdoor cuisine. A further kitchen come utility ensures that whether preserving jams and chutneys or preparing for a large gathering space is not an issue.

Adjacent to the drawing room the sitting room boasts a large bay window with French doors opening to a paved terrace and garden. The ground floor offers a further playroom, sitting room and study.

There are two staircases, one ascending from the reception hall and the other to the rear of the house. The latter also descends to a very useful two room cellar.  The master bedroom enjoys en-suite facilities and fitted wardrobes, while a further six bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms.

South Lodge, Norton, is on the market with a guide price of £895,000. For more information call Tim Main on 01743 353511 or visit www.balfours.co.uk
