Enugu Lodge, Aqueduct Terrace, Port Talbot, SA12 9SA

Commanding an elevated position and boasting a two story period effect turret tower, Enugu Lodge truly is an exception to the norm. With enviable front views of the historical Aqueduct and surrounding hillside, the property gains admiration for its design, size and manicured wrap around gardens.

The grounds of the property are accessed via an extra wide five bar gate at the head of the small cul-de-sac of Oakwood. A long sweeping driveway flanked by expansive lawned gardens leads down from the entry point to a large parking area, with two generous hard standing sites, ideal for caravan or motorhome parking. At the side of the driveway there is a single sheltered carport and an adjoining enclosed garage space. The outside dwellings benefit from plumbed water supply and electric, making it the perfect foundation for conversion into annex accommodation (subject to obtaining the necessary planning approval). The lawned gardens are bordered either side by an abundance of mature plants, trees and shrubs, with a half height solid stone wall enclosing the garden from the roadside.

To the front of the property, composite and stained glass double doors are well protected from a large sheltered external porch area. Both doors open and lead into the light and inviting entrance hallway, with porcelain tiled flooring and a solid oak feature staircase with contemporary brushed steel balustrades. Due to the reverse living design, the main living accommodation for the property is located on the first floor, with the bedroom accommodation found on the ground floor.

To the first floor, an impressive galleried landing area with glazed balustrades and laminate wood flooring provides access to a vast open plan living space, with reception rooms to either end. The landing area is flooded with natural light and features two ornate stained glass windows to the front elevation. On one side of the property is the large lounge/diner, providing the ideal area to host large family gatherings. It is conveniently positioned next to the kitchen, with a half height wall separating the two rooms. The focal points within the room are the enclosed, 360 Degree opening multifuel stove burner and the extension of living space within the windowed turret.
