Whitedown Lodge is a striking Grade II listed arts-and-crafts lodge set on an elevated plot with breathtaking south-facing views across the Cricket St. Thomas estate. The house combines period character — fireplaces, wood-burners and generous rooms — with modern conveniences in the kitchen and comfortable family accommodation across two floors. The garden room and large dual-aspect sitting room are standout living spaces for relaxed family life and entertaining.
The property occupies a very large plot with formal lawns, a covered terrace, summerhouse and a triple garage with gated off-street parking. Circa 0.6 acres are included on licence (additional woodland available by agreement), offering scope for outdoor activities, gardening or simple privacy away from neighbours. The home is offered chain-free and presents an attractive country retreat for families, downsizers or those seeking a detached rural home.
Buyers should note material considerations: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate renovations or modernisation; the area records very slow broadband and average mobile signal; council tax is described as expensive. While the house is spacious and well-proportioned, some buyers may wish to update certain elements to suit contemporary lifestyles.
Location benefits include low local crime, a peaceful hamlet setting and reasonable access to nearby market towns (Chard, Ilminster, Crewkerne) and transport links. Local schools are available nearby, and the Jurassic Coast is within driving distance for weekend outings. Overall this is a characterful, sizeable detached home on a commanding site for purchasers who value privacy, historic character and countryside views.
