Sellers Insight “I will be very sad to leave Lion Court Lodge. This has been my much-loved home for 34 happy years, and I have always treasured the peace, privacy and tranquillity that comes with living on Dancing Hill. The views are something I will miss enormously. Waking up to the wildlife, with deer, woodpeckers and the dawn chorus, has been a real privilege. Some of my happiest memories have been spent around the swimming pool. On warm summer weekends, it has always been a wonderful gathering place for children, family and friends. Swimming and entertaining after dark, with the pool lights glowing and the stars overhead, has felt quite magical. After 34 years, the time has come for me to downsize. Lion Court Lodge now feels ready for a new family to enjoy everything it has to offer and to make their own special memories here.” Step Inside – The Main House Built for our clients some 34 years ago to exacting standards, Lions Court Lodge is a remarkable individual home, designed from the outset to provide generous and flexible accommodation for two families while making the very most of its elevated position and far-reaching views towards Somerset countryside including Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills.
