Description A deceptively spacious residence adjacent to, but very much separate from, this fine conversion of a former pumping station. Lodge House has all the benefits of the development in terms of security, parking, gardens and leisure facilities but has its own private entrances and terrace. Wide stone steps lead up to an impressive pair of tall wooden front doors leading into an entrance lobby with tall glazed doors into the dining hall off which are the kitchen, drawing room, library area, study, laundry room, cloakroom and staircase. The entrance lobby. dining hall and library area all have a polished granite floor. The drawing room is entered through a carved solid oak door and has wonderful high ceiling and working fireplace with an attractive marble surround, slips and hearth, a part glazed door leads out to the private terrace. In the inner hall another beautifully carved solid oak door opens into the cloakroom. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of wall and base units and has an ample dining area. The dining hall is wood panelled in oak and gives access to a most impressive, wide sweeping staircase to the first floor which also features fine panelling and stairwell lantern. To the first floor is a large master bedroom featuring a working fireplace with a substantial marble surround. A doorway opens into an extremely well fitted bathroom with roll top bath, separate shower cubicle, wc and wash hand basin. There are two further bedrooms (one currently used as a sitting room) and a guest bathroom. HISTORICAL NOTE Lodge House features some wonderful solid Oak Panelling and carved doors which were removed from the nearby Derwent Hall which was originally built by the Balguy family in 1672 who remained there until it eventually passed to the Duke of Norfolk who substantially altered it after taking possession in 1927. Just prior to the flooding of the valley to create the Derwent Dam large amounts of oak panelling were removed from the hall and were used for the lining of the walls of the entrance and board room at the Yorkshire Bridge Filter House now know as Lodge House.
