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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.”<br/><br/>Step Inside – The Main House<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>The main house makes an immediate impression, with a stunning dining hall featuring a marble floor and bespoke stained-glass window.
