GRADE II LISTED LODGE: OCTAGONS LATEST LUXURY CONVERSION

West Lodge is a truly unique home located within one of Surrey’s new, exclusive parkland estates, Octagon Developments’ award-winning Broadoaks Park in West Byfleet.

Located in an enviable corner plot position overlooking the development’s central green and Grade II Listed Mansion House, the single-story, two-bedroom home is being extended and converted into a characterful and spacious house, measuring over 1,200 sqft.

Broadoaks Park is set across 25 acres with expansive areas of communal green spaces for residents to enjoy. Offering a variety of 116 new-build properties alongside 10 characterful period homes which have been painstakingly restored and converted from existing Listed buildings, over 90% of the development is now occupied, establishing a thriving community.

West Lodge is thought to have been constructed in 1876, at the same time as the Mansion House, which sits at the heart of the development. The original buildings were designed by Ernest Seth Smith, at the time one of the youngest generations of a family of highly respected Scottish architects whose history included a major role in the development of some of London’s most wealthy districts, such as Belgravia and Eaton Square.

Set to become a striking home, West Lodge seamlessly marries the development’s history with contemporary design and specification. A key feature of the home is the triple-aspect, open-plan kitchen/living/dining room with high ceilings and three bay windows, one of which has French doors to the large private garden.

Both double bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, with the principle bedroom enjoying a dual-aspect and has the bonus of a substantial four-piece en suite bathroom. This room is an extension to the original building that exemplifies Octagon’s meticulous attention to detail, with brickwork and roof tiling details indistinguishable from the originals.

The internal layout is completed by a shower room and a utility room with a separate rear door to the gardens. This house is complete with ample parking and  detached garden room.

Broadoaks Park’s own ‘village green’, communal lawns and a children’s LEAP play area have made it an attractive place to live, with residents also having a range of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and amenities, including a Waitrose, within a few minutes’ walk. Located in the heart of West Byfleet village, Botanical Place is due to complete in 2024, comprising an attractive pedestrianised square with boutique shops, restaurants, and the promise of a thriving new community.

West Byfleet is very well-connected. The railway station is less than half a mile away from Broadoaks Park and its regular services make it a popular choice for commuters, with Woking just eight minutes away and London Waterloo reachable in as little as 28 minutes. By car, the A3, M3 and M25 are all a short drive away, providing connections to many major towns and cities. To escape suburbia, the Surrey Hills National Landscape is under 20 minutes away, offering some of the south of England’s most picturesque scenery and unspoilt villages.

West Lodge is set to be completed and ready to move into in Spring / Summer 2025. Guide price £1,000,000. The Sales Suite is open Monday – Friday 10am – 4pm.
