Worlebury Hill Road, Worlebury, Weston-super-mare, BS22

A truly rare opportunity to acquire part of Weston's historic past. An iconic former Lodge House with castellated elevations which has been extended and altered over many years to create this substantial home. The property is located in this highly sought after elevated position close to Weston Woods and the Golf Course and enjoys views to the rear with glimpses of the Bristol Channel.

The current property forms a 5 Bedroom Semi Detached House standing in a large plot comprising the original Lodge House and a substantial two storey flat roof extension. The property has been extensively refurbished by the current owner to include gas central heating, partial double glazing, new floor coverings, refitted Kitchen and Bathroom, re-decoration etc.

An internal inspection is highly recommended.

Vendor's Comments:

'The original stone cottage was built in the 1820's for the then Lord of the Manor John Hugh Smyth-Pigott as a woodsman/gamekeepers lodge. Thomas Barry was installed as the woodsman to commence the planting of Weston Woods on the hill-top moorland. It is believed he lived here for many years with his wife Harriet, and planted hundreds of trees, some with the help of the local school children. They are one of only two couples immortalised as Weston Worthies. The cottage was sold out of the Smyth-Pigott family in the large auction of 1914 for the princely sum of ?502.10s.8p. It has had several owners over the subsequent 100 years plus, and has variously been a cafe/tea room, corner shop, antique centre as well as a private residence. It has been extended twice to become the substantial family home we see today'.
