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.

Now our children are older we are ready to move onto our new adventure and have already started renovating our new house. When we brought the house, it was a children’s home so was in good condition it was just quite basic so we have renovated the whole house from top to bottom. The fireplaces and entrance lobby floor are original to when the house was built and there is even an Anderson shelter in the back gardens under the outside bar. The views from the house are amazing all year round, we will miss them terribly along with the peace and quiet. The house is one of the largest in the village and we benefit greatly from having some of the best schools statistically on our doorstep. The studio is the newest addition built 2 years ago and it perfect for holidays and guest accommodation when our family visits and they never want to leave. It’s time for Downmead to be passed onto its next family to build some new memories. SERVICES/NOTES Mains electricity and water – Mains drainage to Downmead along with oil central heating.

Here is the spacious kitchen, a room with characterful ceiling beams, an exposed stone wall, an open stone fireplace (now housing a kitchen cupboard) and an abundance of charm. The Shaker-style kitchen units have oak work surfaces and the floor is tiled with Mandarin Stone multi-coloured slate. There is a double Butler sink with a plate rack over, a Rangemaster cooker, a built-in fridge and space for a dishwasher.

Elsewhere in the property, modern ledge and brace doors have been matched up. Step Outside – The peaceful gardens and uninterrupted rural views are a real feature of this property. So, too, are the equestrian facilities and excellent outriding. The gardens to the side and rear of the property are mainly laid to lawn, with flower borders and established shrubs.

For grow-your-own enthusiasts, there is a small fenced orchard with apple, cherry and plum trees, a vegetable plot with raised beds and, alongside the stables, a fruit garden with an assortment of fruit bushes and further raised growing beds. The garden also contains a greenhouse and a garden shed. Beyond the gardens is a large paddock with two field shelters. At the front of the property, across the lane, there is a generous parking area leading to a woodshed and a stable yard. Two stable blocks face each other across the yard, together providing four loose boxes, a tack/feed room and a hay store. The yard is equipped with power and water supply.
