Description

The Lodge forms part of the stunning 'Gunpowder Mill' development, which sits between the Old River Lea and the Royal Gunpowder Mills site. The Lodge is one of three unique self contained buildings benefitting from an exceptional standard of build & refurbishment quality, stunning surroundings and convenient location.

The Lodge comprises two distinct parts, providing a sympathetic but stylish juxtaposition between the old and the new. Originally the Director's house, the Victorian element of the building is Grade II listed and has been restored and updated to provide cellular character accomodation with many period features. The contemporary style extension, which is linked by a single storey central reception area, provides two storeys of bright and flexible open plan space. 

The environment in which the Lodge is set must be experienced to be truly appreciated. Considering the benefits the location has to offer, it is difficult to believe how tranquil the setting is. The Lodge overlooks a landscaped garden and the Old River Lea, with nothing but open fields visible beyond. It is not uncommon to see wild deer wandering around the grounds through the glass curtain wall of the property.
