Both garage blocks are equipped with electric light and power, as well as motion sensitive security lighting to the front elevations. One of the outstanding features of Aughton Lodge is its surrounding gardens, which stretch to approximately 3 acres in size. The property s front garden is extensively laid to lawn, being surrounded by mature screening trees with hedged and fenced boundaries. The main feature of the front garden is its natural fish pond. The rear gardens are separated into two parts and feature an English Heritage site with moat. Directly to the rear of the lounge is a flagged sun patio which steps out onto a substantial lawned garden beyond, with numerous mature herbaceous beds and surrounding tree-lined and hedged boundaries. A timber built summer house adjoining the side boundary is included within the sale. To the rear of the kitchen is a further substantial flagged patio which provides ample space for free-standing garden furniture including pergola with covered seating. A bridge crosses the moat to the central lawn, which is classified as an English Heritage site. This lawned garden is again fully enclosed to all sides by tree-lined boundaries. The property has remained under the same ownership for the past 40 years and represents a very rare opportunity indeed.
