About the property
Quarter House is an enchanting C Listed former shooting lodge that offers a unique and memorable escape for groups seeking history, charm and adventure. Built in 1680, with a fairytale turret added in 1870, it was once home to Thomas Tweedie, who's coat of arms is still proudly displayed. Thoughtfully restored across three spacious floors, the lodge blends period character with modern comfort. There are fine period features throughout, such as decorative cornicing, high ceilings, working window shutters and sash and case windows. Modern touches such as the kitchen appliances, underfloor heating, and fast Wi-Fi complete the picture of an optimal holiday retreat. With panoramic south-facing views over private grounds and the surrounding hills, combined with the tranquil setting of the Glenholm valley near Broughton, it's the perfect base for group getaways.
The space
The turret vestibule and its historic wood door exude period charm and character, setting the tone for the rest of the house.

The spacious sitting room boasts breathtaking valley views, two plush sofas, a wood-burning stove (logs provided), and Sky TV with the full sports package, ideal for cosy nights or gatherings.

The serene music room, with its baby grand piano, oak bookshelves, and decorative fireplace, overlooks the peaceful rear garden and is perfect for reading, working or relaxing. Meanwhile, the formal dining room links the sitting room and kitchen, featuring an extending table beneath elegant lighting, ideal for celebrations and delicious banquets.

The kitchen blends country charm with modern amenities, including an AGA, dishwasher, air fryer, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, underfloor heating, casual seating, two extendable dining tables (seating up to 16), and a walk-in larder.
