Full Description
Stepping into Canons Court Lodge for the first time is a delightful surprise. Its unassuming exterior hides the impressive entrance hall which greets you. A grand staircase stretches before you as you wander the well-worn stone floor, rich in history and with stories to tell. Unusual light fittings and a grandfather clock hint at the character here.
Canons Court Lodge is made for entertaining with a spacious kitchen/diner and large living room. Dress the dining table for decadent meals together or take them outside to be enjoyed in the garden. The wood burner in the kitchen adds a warming atmosphere to your days and makes this feel like home. Gather in the first floor living room with its corner sofa, perfect for conversations and games of charades. With table football, giant connect four and Jenga there is plenty on offer to keep you entertained. Two bedrooms are on the second floor and two are on the ground floor, perfect for accommodating two families and providing space for couples.
Outside, the garden is a fantastic space for those staying with children and dogs. A secure lawned area has plenty of space to play fetch and for children to run wild. There is a barbecue and room to dine outside so you can make the most of sunny weather. The private gravel driveway has space for four cars.

Bedroom Three: This double bedroom has a view out to the garden and is a lovely place to wake in the morning. You can unpack your suitcases and stow everything away in the built-in wardrobe.

Second Floor
Bedroom One: The gorgeous master bedroom with a super king-size bed is a break away from the everyday.

This bedroom also has the added benefit of a walk-in wardrobe.
En-Suite: Bedroom one is the only option with an en-suite and there is a shower cubicle with a rainfall and hand-held shower head, WC and sink.
