Description
Winnings Lodge, originally built in 1858, is a period property of particular historical interest as mentioned in the Discover Colwall 2013 Edition which details that the house was one of the first properties built by the Ballard Family in Colwall.

With a substantial extension added in 2014, the house boasts a magnificent drawing room on the ground floor, which makes the most of its wonderful setting with a picture panel window flooding the room with natural light and affording fantastic views towards British Camp. There are various subtle touches throughout the house that are worthy of mentioning including the thoughtful use of reclaimed materials which were salvaged whilst the extensive renovation works were carried out.
