Utterly distinctive, Widdicombe Lodge captivates the eye in its unique stone design and handsome cedar shingle roof Nestled down a private lane on the very edge of its own woodland, this charming former thatched lodge to Widdicombe House, has exceptional character combined with beautiful views over rolling farmland to the sea at Start Bay.
We are welcomed into Widdicombe Lodge over the gravelled drive and up the curved stone steps that enhance the charming stone exterior. To the right of the house a large terraced patio provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining whilst taking in the sights and sounds of a bygone era, for there is only the joyous melody of nature here - chirping birds, buzzing insects, the occasional rustling of leaves in the breeze To live here is an escape from modern life, a step away from the daily grind
