Positioned within the tranquil hamlet of Lowertown, the setting is both private and picturesque, with the gentle flow of the River Cober, mature woodland and a striking historic viaduct forming a captivating natural backdrop.
Lowena – The Main Residence
At the heart of the homestead lies Lowena, a home rich in character and warmth, where traditional features blend seamlessly with modern comforts. Exposed beams, natural materials and thoughtfully designed spaces create an inviting and timeless interior.
The open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the social hub of the home, perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining, with a wood burning stove adding a cosy focal point. Beyond, the impressive vaulted sitting room is a standout feature, offering a wonderful sense of volume and light, centred around a striking fireplace and opening onto the courtyard.
The accommodation is both flexible and generous, with four bedrooms arranged across the home, including a spacious principal suite with en suite, all enjoying charming outlooks over the surrounding gardens and countryside.
Harvey's House – A Charming Cottage
Harvey's House is a beautifully presented detached cottage, offering stylish and comfortable accommodation that has an established and successful track record as a holiday let.
With its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and light-filled open-plan living space, the cottage exudes a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and a private garden make it ideal for guests or extended family, while its established reputation provides an attractive income stream.
Harvey's Lodge – A Private Retreat
Perfectly positioned to enjoy peace and privacy, Harvey's Lodge is a charming one-bedroom hideaway, ideal for couples seeking a tranquil escape.
Designed with comfort and simplicity in mind, the lodge offers open-plan living with a well-equipped kitchen and sitting area, alongside a cosy double bedroom and shower room. Outside, its own private setting allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding natural beauty, making it a highly desirable and successful holiday let.
Gardens, Grounds & Outbuildings
The grounds at Harvey's Homestead are as captivating as the property itself, extending to approximately seven acres and offering a rich tapestry of landscaped gardens and natural beauty.
A central courtyard provides ample parking and connects the various buildings, while the gardens surrounding Lowena are thoughtfully arranged with lawns, mature planting and a generous terrace for outdoor entertaining.
Three timber cabins, each with power and water, offer excellent flexibility for home working, creative pursuits or leisure use. Beyond, the land unfolds into gently sloping pasture, an orchard and areas of woodland, culminating in a historic quarry and the striking viaduct beyond.
A substantial barn, workshop space and hardstanding further enhance the practicality and lifestyle appeal of the property.
