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.

The main house makes an immediate impression, with a stunning dining hall featuring a marble floor and bespoke stained-glass window. From here, a private internal door connects to the adjoining property, allowing the two homes to work together when required, while still retaining privacy and independence.

The principal sitting room is an elegant and welcoming space, centred around a striking fireplace and enjoying views over the gardens and swimming pool. A separate garden room further enhances the living space, taking full advantage of the beautiful outlook across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well arranged and filled with natural light, with multiple windows framing the views. It is fitted with a range of units, integrated appliances and an oil-fired Aga, with ample room for a table and chairs for informal dining. A practical utility room provides useful additional workspace and direct access outside.

The home was clearly designed around its setting, and this is particularly evident on the first floor, where a second sitting room connects to a stunning glazed viewing room with a small balcony. This exceptional space enjoys panoramic views across the gardens, countryside, Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills, with air conditioning installed to ensure comfortable year-round use when the sun shines.

There are a choice of principal bedrooms on this floor, including one with direct access onto the viewing room and a further double bedroom with en-suite shower room and wonderful views. Bedroom four/five was thoughtfully designed with teenagers or guests in mind, offering accommodation arranged over two floors, with a choice of sleeping areas, dressing space and an en-suite shower room


Step Inside ? The Adjoining Home

The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide a well-balanced and highly comfortable home in its own right. Arranged across the ground floor, it offers generous private accommodation with its own independent front door, while also benefiting from an internal connection to the main house, should the two homes wish to operate together.

The accommodation opens into a modern kitchen/dining room, enjoying a pleasant front aspect and fitted with a range of contemporary units and integrated appliances. From here, bespoke oak and glass doors lead through to a generous sitting room, creating an elegant sense of flow and separation between the living spaces.

The sitting room is a particularly welcoming space, with French doors opening directly onto a private rear patio, ideal for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying a quiet outlook over the gardens.

The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and enjoys views towards Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills. It is further enhanced by a private dressing room and an en-suite shower room with marble tiling, creating a comfortable and refined principal suite.

There are two further double bedrooms, both well suited for family, guests, or flexible use, along with a well-appointed bathroom featuring a roll-top bath and separate shower enclosure. Together, the accommodation offers privacy, independence and versatility, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or dependent relatives

Step Outside
Lion Court Lodge sits within an overall plot of around 3.3 acres, enjoying a wonderfully private setting while remaining conveniently placed for local amenities and access links.

Double wrought-iron gates open onto a block-paved driveway, creating an impressive approach to the front of the property. A substantial detached triple garage block, complete with attic room above, provides excellent space for car enthusiasts, storage, hobbies or potential further use, subject to any necessary consents.

To the left-hand side of the driveway, a gate gives easy access to the adjoining paddock, extending to around 2 acres and offering excellent lifestyle opportunities, whether for those with equestrian interests, smallholding ambitions, or simply the desire for space and privacy.

Directly opposite the house, a gate opens into the secluded heated swimming pool area. Set within private surrounds and complemented by generous patio space, this is a superb setting for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months. A purpose-built shower and changing area completes this much-loved and well-used part of the garden.

The gardens wrap beautifully around the properties and have been carefully designed to make the most of the outstanding views, while also creating a series of inviting spaces for sitting, dining and relaxing in either sun or shade. Discreet patios are positioned throughout the grounds, allowing the outlook and orientation to be enjoyed at different times of the day.

At the far end of the garden, an all-weather tennis court provides a further lifestyle feature, enhancing the sense of leisure, space and enjoyment that defines Lion Court Lodge.
