Vendors Note - We moved into Turnpike Lodge in 2003 since then it has been a welcoming and happy family home. We have improved and developed the cottage with the sensitivity, love and care that it inspires- always mindful of using the right materials and employing the right techniques to preserve its integrity and longevity. For example we have fully restored the timber frame and re-rendered in breathable lime. The kitchen is a large and sociable space-a great cook's kitchen and the true heart of our home, with the inglenook fireplace and Aga being a particular focus. The cottage has quirky features, such as a second hidden staircase- and bags of character throughout. As one of the oldest properties overlooking Bitteswell Village Green it feels central to the community, with The Green being a safe space for children to play out after school. You can even pop outside and call them in for tea! We believe that Turnpike Lodge offers a great combination of tradition and comfort and is a magical place to live.
