The long private driveway immediately creates a wonderful sense of seclusion before you arrive at the farmhouse with its generous parking and turning areas. The combination of character lifestyle that is on offer within the main house and the former Shippen, along with the land and various outbuildings, makes Badslake particularly appealing to those looking for a lifestyle property with equestrian facilities, and multigenerational living or simply plenty of space, in a peaceful rural environment. The Farmhouse The farmhouse itself is an attractive and substantial period home we understand to be of cobb and stone construction under a slate roof, providing approximately 3,350 sq. Ft of accommodation over two floors. Character features can be found throughout, including exposed timbers, stonework, Marland brick floors and impressive fireplaces, while the generous proportions provide excellent space to enjoy family life without necessarily having to be on top of each other. On the ground floor, the accommodation is centred around a spacious double aspect kitchen/breakfast room, complete with Aga, that creates a natural heart to the home and sets the tone for the rest of the accommodation that is on offer elsewhere in the house. The sitting room and family room sit alongside one another, both having fireplaces with log burners to cosy up to in the colder months of the year. Off the family room and overlooking the approach to the farm is a fine 23’ garden room that our clients use as a dining room that should comfortably sit 12 or more as required and it must be a lovely environment for some lively evening entertaining, or lunch time get togethers as it is bathed in sunlight through the mid morning to mid afternoon. On the other side of the kitchen an inner hall leads to the family room, again with log burner and leading off is another garden room, with log burner, which our client uses as an office overlooking the garden on the eastern side which also means they are away from the daily household activities going on around. At the rear of the farmhouse is a study/gym, featuring an attractive local Marland brick floor, as well as a cloakroom and a generous sized utility room, providing ample appliance space and direct access out to the garden. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms providing excellent accommodation for a larger family or visiting guests. There are also two big bathrooms, together with useful landing and storage areas. The Annexe Away from the main farmhouse, the former Shippen has been thoughtfully converted to provide characterful and versatile additional accommodation. Ideal for extended family, dependent relatives or visiting guests, it also offers excellent potential as a separate work from home space. The ground floor comprises a generous sitting room with log burner, a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of units and appliance space, a double bedroom, a contemporary styled wet room and at the front a sun trap conservatory/garden room looking back towards the farmhouse and up to the fields beyond. A staircase rises to a substantial former attic that is being used as an occasional sleeping area and provides a highly useful and adaptable additional space. Outbuildings, Stables & Barns A traditional cobb barn stands opposite the farmhouse and although it has lapsed for conversion, provides a terrific storage/workshop with storeroom on one side and stables attached at the rear. The other buildings include an impressive 44’ tractor barn providing substantial storage for machinery and vehicles, an animal pen, games room and large wood store with plenty of space for splitting logs. There is extensive parking and turning space around the buildings, while the private driveway provides access through the grounds to the main property. Paddocks There are three paddocks, two together culminating near the small lake. The third is on the inner curve of the drive linked to the stables via a ‘race’ providing ideal turn out for horse and ponies. Gardens & Grounds Wandering through these is like being in your own park with a swathe of lawn dotted with young trees leading down to the small lake which has its own island in the middle. There are productive orchards with fruit trees including pears and apples, both eaters and cookers. Adjoining the rear of the house is a large lawn and at the front is a sun trap terrace ideal for a quiet contemplation and listening to the sounds of nature all around. The Shippen has its own garden having lawn at the front and a terrace at the back which is an ideal for some al fresco entertaining.

Sleek modern cabinetry integrates appliances seamlessly, with careful ergonomic consideration given to the layout. A stylish, on‑trend pantry offers a dedicated breakfast station, complete with sockets for a coffee machine and toaster. The central island provides a sociable dining option as well as additional storage, making it both practical and elegant. Originally separate, the formal dining room has been thoughtfully opened into the kitchen — a superb upgrade made during the kitchen’s redesign. Bi-fold doors from the sitting area lead out to the patio terrace at the rear and contribute to an abundance of natural light with additional floor to ceiling windows and a stable style door providing access to the garden. This integration creates a more cohesive and sociable environment, ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. A separate utility room offers further storage and a practical space for laundry and household items, keeping the main kitchen beautifully uncluttered. The ground floor also benefits from a bedroom with an en‑suite bathroom, providing an ideal guest suite. This private arrangement ensures comfort and independence for visitors, making it a valuable addition to the home’s versatile layout. The first-floor hosts four further bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a home office, offering a peaceful and productive workspace with views over the open countryside. Each room enjoys its own character, but the principal suite is undoubtedly the showstopper — a truly luxurious retreat designed with exceptional attention to detail. This stunning main bedroom is thoughtfully arranged into three distinct areas: the bedroom, the dressing room, and the en‑suite bathroom. The bedroom itself enjoys a beautiful aspect to the rear, with French doors opening onto a private terrace — an idyllic spot for morning coffee while admiring the uninterrupted countryside views. The dressing room is a genuine ‘wow factor’. Bespoke cabinetry provides an abundance of beautifully crafted storage, leading into a dedicated dressing area complete with an elegant dressing table, refined seating, and glazed patio doors that enhance the sense of space and light. This suite has been designed to feel indulgent, serene, and effortlessly functional. The en‑suite bathroom is equally impressive, finished with a luxury white suite and enjoying views to the rear. Together, these spaces form a master suite of exceptional quality — a private haven within the home. Two further bedrooms on this floor benefit from their own luxury en‑suite facilities, each offering generous proportions and excellent storage. These rooms provide comfort and independence for family members or guests, reinforcing the home’s versatility and executive appeal. Beyond the main residence, The Lodge offers something genuinely extraordinary — a summer house that is far more than the typical garden retreat. This is a space with its own identity, its own atmosphere, and its own sense of occasion. It feels like a haven away from the home, a place to escape, unwind, entertain, or work in complete tranquillity. This remarkable building is inviting all year round, centred around a charming log burner that brings warmth and ambience through every season. Whether hosting a dinner party and retiring here afterwards for drinks, conversation and relaxation, or simply enjoying a quiet evening with the fire glowing, the summer house offers a lifestyle that feels indulgent and deeply private. A self‑contained kitchenette adds practicality and convenience, allowing the space to function beautifully for entertaining or extended use. It’s easy to imagine long summer evenings with the doors open to the countryside, or cosy winter nights with the log burner lit — a versatile, atmospheric space that enhances the property in a way few homes can offer. In addition, the summer house includes a separate gym, which provides excellent flexibility. This room could easily serve as an alternative home office, creating a true “away‑from‑home” work sanctuary — a peaceful, detached environment ideal for focused working, creative thinking, or professional privacy. This entire building is a standout feature of The Lodge. It is special, unique, and unquestionably valuable — a rare addition that elevates the property’s lifestyle offering and provides exceptional versatility for modern living. Whether used for entertaining, wellness, work, or relaxation, the summer house is a space that enriches daily life and sets The Lodge apart as a home of genuine distinction. The Lodge sits within a generous plot of just over half an acre, surrounded by perfectly manicured, landscaped gardens that blend effortlessly into the rolling open countryside beyond. The result is a setting of remarkable tranquillity, where every window from the rear aspect frames a view of green hills, and every outdoor space feels private, peaceful and beautifully connected to nature. The grounds have been thoughtfully designed to complement the home, offering expansive lawns, mature planting and multiple areas to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the serenity of the surroundings. The sense of space is exceptional, and the privacy — enhanced by the property’s position along a private lane — is one of its most defining features. Practicality is equally well catered for. The Lodge benefits from an integrated double garage, accessible internally from the house, providing secure parking and excellent storage. In addition, the property offers a generous amount of gated driveway parking, comfortably accommodating several vehicles and ensuring convenience for both residents and guests. Together, the gardens, garaging and extensive parking complete the picture of a home that is not only architecturally impressive and beautifully appointed, but also perfectly situated within its landscape — a rare sanctuary offering space, privacy and an exceptional lifestyle.
