Red Lodge, Powderham

This charming Grade II listed former lodge house, dating back to circa 1830, stands proudly at the entrance to what was once the long private driveway leading to Powderham Castle. Surrounded by the estate’s expansive deer park, the property enjoys a truly special setting steeped in history.

Rich in character, the detached home showcases a wealth of period features, including a Tudor-style arched doorway crafted from Heavitree red stone and etched with the Courtenay family coat of arms, mullioned windows adorned with intricate leadwork, and open fireplaces.

With 1,652 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, the house offers four bedrooms and an exceptional layout that perfectly balances elegant reception rooms with practical family spaces - ideally suited to modern living. Set within a generous 0.4 acre plot and enjoying far-reaching countryside views, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive and spacious home in a remarkable location.

On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to two impressive bay-fronted reception rooms – a formal dining room and a generous sitting room – perfect for entertaining. A spacious recently fitted kitchen/breakfast room has a Rangemaster cooker with a five-ring induction hob, slate flooring and enjoys a bright dual aspect. There is also a WC/shower room and a useful 21 ft study, ideal for those working from home.

An impressive split staircase leads up to the first floor with its four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom and a family bathroom. Most bedrooms have lovely countryside views whilst bedroom four offers flexibility for guests or home working.
Outside, a brick paved private drive offers ample parking in front of a detached double garage with twin up and over doors, power, light and additional storage.

The gardens offer a great deal of privacy and are well established with mature trees and shrubs. A paved patio adjoins the kitchen whilst a footpath meanders through the gardens to various sections of level lawns. There is also a fire pit/barbeque area whilst at the bottom of the garden is a greenhouse and brick garden/log store.
