The Tingdene Kudos lodge is a new design for 2016. It is a quirky design, starting with the exterior measurements, as part of the lodge measures 12ft wide and part is 14ft wide. Then there is the external appearance which is a mix of horizontal and vertical Smartside cladding with PVCu Anthracite grey double glazed windows and French doors.<\/p>\n

The interior revealed even more individuality. The kitchen is well-specified with an induction hob, an electric oven, washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer, a wine rack and good storage facilities; all pretty standard then. But there is a big lacquered metal beam, (like an RSJ girder) partly structural and part feature at ceiling height and a tall round barrel-shaped stainless steel extractor fan over the hob.<\/p>\n

Living space flows from the kitchen; the breakfast bar is good for social interaction, but it is the only eating area \u2013 no dedicated dining area.\u00a0 The L shaped sofa is upholstered in grey faux leather and has a multitude of scatter cushions. Roman blinds hang at the windows, anthracite coloured curtains swing at the French doors and charcoal grey upright radiators rise up the walls. The features are a shelf unit with USB charging point, the industrial look lighting and a 50 inch wall mounted television.<\/p>\n

A door leads to the entrance hall where there is an upholstered cosy nook, a power point, coat hooks, a door to the exterior and a door to the shower room where we expected more eccentricity and it was there; the large shower with a bi-fold door has a feature wall, and other standard fittings but the heating is courtesy of the wall hung heated mirror. It gave off an amazing amount of heat.<\/p>\n

Bedroom 2 has twin beds with padded headboards set against a feature wall of bronze and black with a Greek key pattern. Free standing bedside cabinets and a wardrobe complete the essential items.<\/p>\n

The master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows with a sliding door to the exterior, framed by curtains hung by eyelets from a pole. The double bed has a white feature headboard with bedside cabinets each side of it. Clothes storage is simple\u00a0wardrobes.\u00a0 A step leads to the feature of the bedroom \u2013 a roll top bath with a handheld shower; it can\u2019t be described as an en-suite as the main facilities are located in the shower room.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/h2>\n

Think idiosyncratic. It\u2019s a utilitarian \u201cconverted warehouse\u201d look, sort of \u201cloft living\u201d for a niche market, but its characteristics might charm those wanting something really different to spend leisure time in.<\/p>\n
