Property Description
S43168 is a charming Grade II listed early Victorian cottage which has been brought up to date with a contemporary interior including a stylish kitchen and bathroom. The cottage is newly refurbished and beautifully decorated with antiques and designer fabrics A cosy log-burner will keep you warm whilst you sit in the lounge in winter; in summer you can enjoy eating alfresco in the garden, where you can watch the local horses in an adjoining field as they happily graze. The cottage is full of touches that the owner has added including a sympathetic colour scheme in the bedrooms along with original features such as the mullion windows at the lounge window seat, a bread oven and beams in the bedrooms. The Lodge sits at the entrance to a Jacobean Manor house within the charming conservation village of Warmwell. The historic estate has breathtaking views and there are a number of characterful properties in the village including a 13th century church just a stone's throw from the Lodge (see photos). Visitors are welcome to stroll down the drive to the Manor House in order to access the various footpaths criss-crossing the estate. There are three recommended walks which take in the lovely countryside and give glimpses of Warmwell house and its charming gardens (see below and in addition, an annotated map will be made available).
