The Railway Cottage, Railway Carriage & The Treehouse atLavender Hill Holidays

Somerset is the setting for this trio of beautiful newproperties, and with a location close to Taunton they are well connected whilstenjoying a privileged spot in the countryside. The Railway Cottage has aspecial historical relevance, being built by Brunel himself whilst he wasconstructing the West Somerset Steam Railway – and yes you guessed it, thesteam locomotives pass by you as you relax in the cottage or in the private hottub within the pretty garden.  The neighbouring Railway Carriage is aseparate property, and a truly unique experience as its many carriage windowslook out over the tracks of the railway, perfect for the train-spotters amongstyou!  The decor is modern and comfortable and you also have a private hottub to enjoy, as well as a great country pub within walking distance. Last but by no means least, The Treehouse is a great escape from ground level,situated on a small farm with livestock and ponies roaming happily. Inside thehouse, the mysterious spiral staircase leads up to an octagonal master bedroom,where the leaves of the lime tree it is built around mingle with the cedar andtimber wooden structure. Here you can stargaze from the triangular skylight andenjoy life high in the canopy – pure wintry perfection!
