THIS charming 19th century Gate Lodge sitting in between Knutsford and Northwich is our property of the week.

The Grade II listed Red Lodge is one of the gate lodges to te Tabley House Estate and although it may be in need plenty of restoration, it has a wealth of original features.

Listed with Savills in Knutsford, this picture postcard property comes with a guide price of £300,000.

It is located on the Eastern side of Chester Road and is located just two and a half miles from the thriving centre of Knutsford and four miles or so from Northwich.

As you can see, it is an utterly charming detached lodge which was built in the late 19th Century and is listed Grade II under the Planning (Listed building and Conservation areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural or

There is also scope to reorganise the layout to suit individual needs.

The lodge stands within a mature garden plot and adjoins woodland to the rear. It stands on the Western edge of the Tabley house estate in delightful rural surroundings with views over parkland to three sides.

Plans have been drawn up for the property to be extended, these would be subject to planning permission approval.

The house is set back along a driveway from Chester Road, but with access via the A556 to the M6 and M56.
