Floor space extends to circa 204sq m (2,200sq ft).

The entrance is rather grand, through double mahogany doors into splitlevel reception hall and where the abundant natural light is enhanced by a mellow beech hardwood floor.

Leading off is an equally generously sized living room with bay window and gas-fuelled 'log' effect fire.

An arch opens to the dining room which takes in those unspoilt views, while another set of double doors opens out to a timber deck. Adjacent is the fitted kitchen with Shaker-style presses and a utility room next door.

A long, hall corridor leads to four bedrooms . . . two of which are en-suite . . . and to the main bathroom.

Outside is just as appealing, with a crop of mature trees and shrubs bordering sweeping lawns. As well as the tennis court, the garage has been converted to a mini-gym. Blackberry Lane may be rural, but it is within easy reach of the N11/M11, the Dart at Greystones, plus a host of amenities. With the emphasis on fresh air and recreation, The Lodge is a very fit property indeed.
