This charming gothic gatehouse, built in the 1830’s, was designed by Morrison of Ireland and sits at the entrance to the estate. It is a romantic getaway cottage, with its own private entrance, a large sunny terrace set in its own damson orchard and surrounded by beautiful trees.
The original entrance to the Lodge is through its own driveway which has been re-opened and a spacious car park created with a path to the large private terrace and the entrance. In the cottage the original carved stone loggia has been enclosed and is now a hall/dining room, painted in warm yellow and highlighting the original stonework. The fireplace in the gothic sitting room has been enlarged to take a wood burning stove and its restored original panelling has been painted a soft warm shade to compliment the fresh elegant colours of the furnishings. The attractive modern kitchen with eat in area has all the mod cons.
“You feel the warmth and history of this delightful lodge the moment you walk through the door. We absolutely loved our week here. Lovely walks through the woods and up the long drive to Combermere Abbey. Sitting by the fireside in the cosy lounge. The bedrooms were so relaxing and tastefully decorated. We will certainly be back.”
The first floor
Off the hallway is an elegant double bedroom with its own tiled walk-in shower room. The double bedroom is decorated in warm neutral tones and complemented with an opulent headboard and faux fur throw.
Upstairs, the original landing and bedroom have been transformed into a private twin bedroom with a highly individual en-suite bathroom. Calm and elegant shades of blue and cream dominate this little hideaway with its views across the orchard.
