Stanton Fitzwarren is a small Village lying approx.. 3 miles to the Northeast of Swindon and South Lodge has the wonderful benefit of overlooking Stanton Country Park, the park itself contains a Scheduled Ancient Monument- the site of a Roman Villa (although there are no visible remains). It is the holder of a Green Flag award, which describes it as an 'inspiring and largely unspoiled example of a country park'. Nature Reserve status was also acquired for 36 hectares of the park that includes the lake, woodland and grassland. The Village also has a very pretty grade I listed church namely St. Leonard's believed to have Norman origins. The communication links from Stanton are superb, whether it be the M4 or M5, A420 or A419 nearby and not to mention Swindon Train Station where you can be in London Paddington withing 55 Minutes!



The Lodge itself was originally believed to be a large house many years ago before being separated into numerous stunning lodges. Our offering is a beautifully presented home oozing charm and sophistication throughout and offering a gated environment off a private driveway. This quirky, yet characterful home is finished with a red brick and render finish, with leaded windows and doors.



The Lodge is a real treat for someone who is looking for a delightful Village to live in with Character that has the benefit of overlooking a Country Park to the rear. With the advent of homeworking, the Lodge offers a large comfortable office overlooking the gorgeous newly laid patio area ideal for Alfresco Dining. There is also the added benefit of numerous structures in the garden, notably the Dutch Barn that is versatile to either become a gym (The current owner's preference) or a store for all your garden machinery including a ride on!! There is also a Studio/Garden Room, and this has power and light.



The Gardens: With a south westerly orientation, the majority of the gardens are laid to lawn and enclosed with neatly trimmed hedging and sculptured trees and evergreens and there is a large selection of flower borders.
