Steeped in history, Heritage Coachman Lodge has been lovingly restored to reflect its rich legacy and newly found splendour. Located inside an architecture's dream of the listed cobblestone stables courtyard, the lodge encourages the coziest and laziest days luxuriating by the wood burning stove, The space Revealing a fascinating glimpse into its ancient stables heritage, Coachman Lodge sits at the heart of the courtyard within a rural idyll, binding a classically Grade-II listed exterior with luxurious rustic interiors. Showcasing the essence of the building and the setting in which it is ensconced, the lodge features original wood paneled walls and chimneys, and is now upgraded with 2 full bathrooms. The living room boasts original features from the turn of the century, including original oak paneling, and lovely fireplace. Streaming light from the window and door glass panels also provide view of the woodlands, framed by abundant hydrangeas blooms. Indian-blue velvet sofas with gold accents and a highly curated selection of fine arts provide a true boutique feel to the lodge. The brand new kitchen has been restored from its original form, and you'll find fascinating nooks and crannies for storage within the original range which has stood in its place since the 1900s. The window at the sink provides glimpses into the "pleasure ground", an area at Dunskey that's dedicated to our botanical walled garden, the vegetable garden, and the maze. The historic cobblestone courtyard at Coachman Lodge is one of its most charming features. Painted drawers and outdoor vanity full of plants and whimsical touches will encourage you to linger in this enclosed outdoor space. We have restored the stables mahogany dividers to create your own private space for reading and lounging in the sun. Just a few steps away is the lovely and utterly private walled garden, all yours to peruse. Upstairs, the master bedroom showcases a handpainted mural that's guaranteed to get hearts swooning. Super king bed, eclectic artworks, and mid-century- inspired furnishings ensure a hotel-like stay. The brand new full bathroom provides a large walk-in shower and a full bath, and of course, always stocked with Dunskey's own bath amenities. The second bedroom boasts an impressive wardrobe that will rival one of Marie Antoinette. Indeed, antique crowns and crests over the two single beds will delight anyone who's ever entertained the fantasy of living like lords and ladies on their own private Estate.
