Otter Lodge is a well-proportioned and bright property extending to approximately 129.5 m2. The accommodation comprises three double bedrooms, one with ensuite facilities and a family bathroom. The main entrance door leads through into the open planned lounge and dining room under a double height ceiling design. An ornate fireplace is positioned centrally within the room.
