OWNERS who have upgraded and modernised an Oakley home over the last 10 to 15 years have put their detached house on the market with Lane Fox for around £625,000.

Cedar Lodge is set in about an acre of mature gardens in Barn Lane and its detached double garage has the potential to create an annexe.

The garage, which has its own workshop, was originally built as a bungalow for housing a relative, so it could be reconverted or be useful as an office for a telecommuter based at home.

Lane Fox say: "The abundance of reception space and a good-sized kitchen-breakfast room provides the perfect environment for modern living and entertaining."

The kitchen has wood-fronted units and is adjoined by a utility room. The main sitting room and dining room are divided by internal double doors. The dining room then has French doors out to the garden.

There is a fireplace in the family room and a study.

On the first floor the master bedroom features an en suite bathroom while the second bedroom has an en suite shower room. Three more bedrooms share the family bathroom.

The fifth bedroom could be a dressing room, study or playroom as it is accessed by a door in the fourth bedroom.

Cedar Lodge has planning permission to build a two-bedroomed bungalow on a garden plot which can either be sold separately or a price negotiated to sell it with the main house.
