Wolford Lodge

Description

Details

Wolford Lodge was built in 1929 to architectural acclaim and is set in a spectacular valley in the Blackdown Hills (an area of outstanding natural beauty).

Inside

The large entrance hall leads to a spacious drawing room, with an open wood burning fireplace and grand piano. The study and kitchen/ breakfast room lead off from the hall. The kitchen is fully equipped with high quality gas and electric appliances, under floor heating and an open fireplace. Also on the ground floor is a utility room, larder and downstairs loo.

Bedrooms

Upstairs there are 6 double bedrooms one of which has two bunk beds, two fabulously appointed bathrooms with hand-made mosaic Moroccan tiles and Lefroy Brooks fittings with window fabrics supplied by Carolina Irving. One of the bathrooms has an integral large walk-in power shower with an amazing spray shower head. An original 1920s, recently re-enamelled roll top bath is still in situ.

Outside

The house faces due South over mature woodlands inhabited by an abundance of wildlife including Roe deer, woodcock and buzzards. From the top of the valley there are distant sea views towards Budleigh Salterton on the Jurassic Coast.
This beautiful and secluded unique house has extensive mature private gardens and woodlands that total 158 acres.
