Great Wollaston Lodge is a beautiful country house, with an attached Coach House, in all totalling nearly 300 sq.m. The property retains a huge amount of its originality, whilst benefitting from more recent modern infrastructure upgrades and a beautiful orangery extension.
A central hallway, with flagged floor, accesses the elegant drawing room with a large bay window taking in the wonderful south facing views. A sitting room is found adjacent, again with a handsome fireplace and generous bay window allowing an abundance of natural light. To the western end of the house is the beautifully appointed kitchen breakfast room which steps down into a fabulous orangery that seamlessly connects the house to its landscaped grounds.
A rear hallway and large utility room connect with the Coach House, that provides a downstairs bedroom and two rooms to the first floor. A large en suite completes the Coach House accommodation. The central staircase rises to a large first floor landing, accessing three double bedrooms of impressive proportion, two of which have en suite facilities. Most notably in the principal bedroom, with its characterful fireplace, built-in wardrobes and tremendous views over the Welsh hills. A shower room and store cupboard complete the first floor. Stairs rise again to the second floor which comprises of two further double bedrooms one en suite and a family bathroom. There is a seating/reading area on the landing.
In recent years, Great Wollaston Lodge has been used as a prestigious and successful holiday let, maintained to the very highest of standards. There is a substantial potential income stream to be realised from the property. Please ask the agent for further information.
Gardens and Grounds
The property has wonderful, landscaped gardens stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. A private driveway sweeps to the front of the house, with a large expanse of terrace spanning the southwest façade. This impressive, flagged terrace provides a protected vantage point, that is seamlessly connected with the house, from which to enjoy the views.
There is a lawned area to one side of the driveway, with a wall to the other, through which a gateway leads to enchanting terraced walkways, lawned areas and the tennis court.
Adjacent to the driveway is a converted garage building which offers an extremely versatile space, currently serving as a studio with a separate workshop and room above.
