Boutique group home with air conditioning, free parking and designer interiors

The Orogun Lodge is a stylish two-storey entire home in the Gorton area of East Manchester, finished to a high standard throughout and sleeping up to nine guests across three bedrooms. With a cohesive designer aesthetic running through every room - from striking wood slat feature walls and LED-lit shelving to hotel-quality bedding and carefully curated decor - this is a property that strikes a genuine balance between residential warmth and boutique-style finish. It is ideal for family breaks, group getaways, friend reunions, and longer working stays, offering the kind of considered comfort that makes groups feel at home from the moment they arrive.

What truly sets The Orogun Lodge apart is the rare combination of practical upgrades and thoughtful design. Air conditioning is installed throughout - a genuine rarity in UK homes - making it a comfortable and practical choice in every season. Free off-street parking is included on the premises, with additional free street parking available directly outside. Guests have a private entrance and full exclusive use of the entire home throughout their stay, including all bedrooms, bathrooms, the living and dining area, the kitchen, the rear garden, and the parking. Long-term stays are welcomed, and host Churchill is available throughout, responding promptly while giving guests all the privacy they need to enjoy their time here.

A Home to Relax and Unwind

From the moment the group settles into the large corner sofa in the ground floor living room, The Orogun Lodge makes it easy to properly switch off. The bold wood slat feature wall housing the smart TV gives the space a character that is rarely found in a rental home, while layered shelving, a patterned rug, and a throw-draped armchair tucked beside the staircase add warmth without ever feeling cluttered. The living room opens naturally into the dining area, making the whole ground floor a comfortable hub for the group to gather, eat, and spend time together. When it is time to retire for the evening, the bedrooms continue the same hotel-influenced design philosophy - each one finished with velvet headboards, LED-lit shelving, hotel-quality bedding, open clothes rails, and scented diffusers that are the kind of touches guests notice and remember. The Nespresso machine and hot water kettle are set out and ready for morning routines, and a set of board games is on hand for evenings the group wants to spend in.


The Layout

Ground floor

The living area is anchored by a large corner sofa, coffee table, and a smart TV set within a striking wood slat feature wall. Layered shelving with playful decor, a patterned rug, and an armchair beside the staircase create a comfortable and characterful space with room for the whole group. The living room flows naturally into the dining area, where a herringbone dining table seats six beneath pendant lighting. The fully fitted kitchen is well equipped for home cooking and group catering, and includes a gas oven and stove, microwave, fridge-freezer with separate freezer, four-slice toaster, Nespresso machine, hot water kettle, cooking basics, dishes and silverware, wine glasses, and cleaning products. A washing machine is located within the kitchen, with an iron and ironing board also provided. A compact downstairs WC with sink and decorative slat panelling provides added convenience on the ground floor.

Upper floor

All three bedrooms and both main bathrooms are on the upper floor, accessible via a carpeted staircase with a pine banister. The upstairs landing gives access to all bedrooms and the family bathroom.

• Bedroom 1 - master: Two double beds with hotel-quality bedding, a velvet headboard, glowing slat panel, warm lamp light, and open clothes rail
• Bedroom 2 - double: Double bed with fresh linen, warm lamp, striped rug, and open clothes rail

Outdoor space

The property benefits from a private enclosed rear garden with a green lawn and fenced boundaries, providing a quiet and sheltered outdoor area for the group to enjoy.

Practical notes
