The silence which surrounds this rural property is part of the charm for our visitors. Beyond the gate, in the privacy of a small garden, guests can enjoy great peace and tranquility - and the small patio offers a wonderful opportunity to dine 'al fresco' on balmy summer evenings. This is an intensely romantic building.
Facilities:
Special Notes: Access to the bedroom is by way of a narrow winding stone stairway. The property is located beside the access gate for the Estate and Gardens. Annesgrove Gardens are NOT accessible to guests staying at Annesgrove Gatelodge during the renovation of the grounds.
An intensely romantic property, Annes Grove is built in Gothic style, the building being a medieval castle in miniature. It is situated at the junction of three quiet country roads and surrounded by mature beech trees, which cradle the property and stonewalls. Inside timber ceilings, wood floors, stone arches, and snug rooms make this property an idyllic setting for those looking for a romantic break.
Annes Grove was designed by Benjamin Woodward, of the distinguished firm of architects Deane and Woodward in 1849. Since Woodward designed only two gatelodges of this type, it is of some architectural importance. The lodge, prior to restoration, had not been lived in since the 1940s.
