Occupying a substantial plot surrounded by open countryside, Trent Lodge is an impressive four-bedroom detached residence offering approximately 204 m² of versatile accommodation. The property features an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, three further reception rooms and a principal bedroom with en-suite. Extensive established gardens provide considerable outdoor space and privacy, complemented by a substantial detached outbuilding extending to approximately 141 m², formerly used as kennels. With generous parking, mature grounds and excellent potential for a variety of lifestyles, this distinctive property presents a rare opportunity in a semi-rural setting.

A welcoming entrance porch provides an attractive introduction to the property, featuring a double-glazed window overlooking the surrounding countryside, a vaulted ceiling and exposed timber detailing. An archway leads into the central hallway, where the staircase rises to the first floor and doors provide access to the principal ground-floor reception rooms.

Positioned at the front of the property, the snug offers a comfortable and versatile additional reception room. A double-glazed window provides natural light, while exposed ceiling timbers add character. With the benefit of an understairs storage cupboard, this inviting space is equally suited to use as a television room, home office, children's playroom or quieter retreat away from the main living areas.

The sitting room provides another well-proportioned reception space, enjoying natural light from the front of the property and views towards the neighbouring countryside. Exposed ceiling timbers and a distinctive decorative brick pillar introduce traditional character, complemented by ceiling spotlights. The room connects through to the larger lounge, allowing the two spaces to work together for entertaining while retaining their individual character.

A particularly generous reception room, the lounge offers an excellent setting for both everyday family living and entertaining. Windows to the side and an attractive rear-facing bay window bring natural light into the room and provide views across the gardens. A substantial floor-to-ceiling York stone fireplace with slate hearth forms an impressive focal point, while exposed and painted timber detailing, traditional plate rails and wall lighting enhance the room's character. Its proportions comfortably accommodate a variety of furniture arrangements, making this a welcoming space for relaxing or hosting guests.

Undoubtedly one of the principal features of Trent Lodge, this expansive open-plan room forms the heart of the home, bringing together cooking, dining and informal living within one generous space. Multiple double-glazed windows and two sets of French doors allow natural light to flow throughout, while providing direct access to the gardens. The impressive dimensions allow ample room for a substantial dining table and comfortable family seating, creating a sociable environment for family gatherings and entertaining. French doors open onto the outdoor areas, encouraging an easy connection between the house and gardens during the warmer months.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive selection of wood-fronted wall and base units, drawers, display cupboards and traditional plate racks, complemented by generous work surfaces. An angled stainless-steel sink with mixer tap, space for a range-style cooker with stainless steel splashback and extractor canopy, and provision for an American-style fridge freezer provide the foundations of a practical family kitchen. A central island incorporates additional cupboards, drawers and a breakfast bar, creating an informal seating area for everyday meals and socialising. Further cabinetry offers valuable storage and preparation space.

Conveniently positioned adjoining the kitchen, the spacious utility room provides a practical area for household tasks and additional storage. Fitted with oak-effect base and full-height cupboards, tiled work surfaces and a stainless steel sink, the room also includes plumbing and space for a washing machine. A window and French doors provide natural light and access outside, making the room particularly useful for busy family life and gardening activities. A further cupboard houses the oil-fired central heating boiler, with additional shelving and access to the roof void.

The ground floor accommodation is complemented by a conveniently located shower room, fitted with a corner shower enclosure and electric shower, a concealed-cistern WC and a contemporary vanity washbasin with storage beneath. Practical wall panelling, recessed ceiling lighting and an anthracite heated towel rail complete the room. An obscure-glazed window provides natural light and privacy.

The staircase rises to a central first-floor landing, providing access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The arrangement offers a practical separation between the principal bedroom accommodation and the additional bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable and well-appointed retreat, enjoying a front-facing window with views towards the surrounding fields. An extensive range of fitted bedroom furniture provides excellent storage, incorporating full-height wardrobes, overhead cupboards and coordinating dressing table units. A contemporary vertical radiator adds a modern finishing touch, while a private en-suite shower room enhances the convenience of this bedroom.

Generously proportioned, the en-suite features a large walk-in shower with glazed screen, mains-fed shower and handheld attachment. A concealed-cistern WC and vanity washbasin with fitted storage complement the principal bedroom's cabinetry, creating a coordinated appearance. Contemporary wall panelling, a fitted mirror and recessed lighting complete the room, with an obscure-glazed window providing natural light and privacy.

A spacious double bedroom enjoying a dual-aspect arrangement, with windows to the front and side allowing natural light throughout the day. Views across the neighbouring countryside contribute to the room's attractive setting, while its generous proportions provide flexibility for bedroom furniture and additional storage.

Another excellent double bedroom, benefiting from windows to the side and rear with pleasant views across the established gardens. Its proportions make it particularly suitable for family members or visiting guests, with ample space for a double bed and accompanying furniture.

Overlooking the rear garden, the fourth bedroom offers a versatile space that could comfortably accommodate a bedroom arrangement, nursery or dedicated home office. A double-glazed window provides natural light and views over the grounds, while access to the roof void offers additional practicality.

The spacious family bathroom is fitted with a four-piece white suite, comprising a contemporary freestanding oval bath with mixer tap, separate corner shower enclosure with electric shower, pedestal washbasin and WC. Ceramic tiled flooring, complementary wall tiling, recessed lighting and a chrome heated towel rail complete the room. An obscure-glazed rear window allows natural light while maintaining privacy.

Trent Lodge occupies a substantial, established plot in a semi-rural position, with agricultural land extending beyond its boundaries and attractive countryside views across the surrounding landscape. The detached residence presents a distinctive appearance, with light-rendered elevations, a tiled roof and timber-effect window frames. A grassed frontage and established planting soften the approach, while a driveway leads from Dunham Road to a set of double metal gates opening into the main grounds. Beyond the gates, a generous driveway and hardstanding provide extensive off-road parking and turning space for multiple vehicles. The outdoor areas offer considerable flexibility for households with several vehicles or those requiring additional space for recreational equipment.

The extensive gardens are undoubtedly among the property's most appealing features, extending predominantly to the side and rear of the residence and offering an exceptional amount of outdoor space. Established trees, mature hedging and an abundance of shrubs create a wonderfully green setting, providing screening and a sense of seclusion within the grounds. The gardens incorporate substantial lawned areas, planted borders and a variety of mature trees, including fruit trees, giving the outdoor space a pleasingly natural and established character. Immediately adjoining the rear of the house, a generous, paved patio provides ample room for outdoor dining, garden furniture and entertaining. With direct access from the principal living accommodation, this area creates a practical extension of the indoor living space.

Further into the grounds, the gardens open into expansive lawns interspersed with established planting and mature specimen trees. The size and layout provide considerable scope for landscaping, recreational use or the creation of distinct garden areas according to individual preferences. The property's position adjoining open agricultural land contributes to its countryside character, while the established boundary planting provides separation from the surrounding fields.

A particularly noteworthy feature of Trent Lodge is the substantial detached outbuilding, situated within the rear grounds and extending to approximately 141 m². Formerly operated as kennels, the building incorporates 16 individual kennel compartments, together with a central washroom and a separate storage room. The structure is of brick and block construction, with a combination of flat roof sections, and benefits from electricity, lighting and a water supply, as described in the previous particulars. The individual kennels measure approximately 5.03m x 1.16m (16'6" x 3'10"), with external access doors arranged along the sides of the building.

The additional accommodation includes: • Store – 4.94m x 3.73m (16'2" x 12'3"), providing substantial storage space. • Central washroom, offering a practical area previously associated with the kennel operation. This substantial ancillary building offers an interesting opportunity for purchasers seeking specialist animal accommodation or extensive storage facilities. Its former use as commercial kennels may also appeal to those interested in reinstating a similar operation, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions, licences and other relevant consents. Alternative uses or alterations may also be possible, subject to the appropriate permissions and regulatory requirements. The building's position away from the main residence, within the extensive gardens, provides a useful degree of separation between the residential accommodation and the former kennel facilities.

Trent Lodge enjoys a semi-rural setting on Dunham Road, close to the village of Newton-on-Trent, surrounded by the agricultural landscape of the Trent Valley.
