Hi people,
just to let you know I live in the lodge.
Or at least its replacement.
It is anything but a retirement home
, it is simply a large family house. It is still under construction and belongs to my family now. The name Luxborough house was chosen as a replacement as the new house isnt the lodge and we felt an affirmation to break the roots with the old estate
We were sad to have to demolish the old building but it was actually structurally condemned anyway and unfit for human habitation. The adaption of the building in the early 60's ruined any origionality it may have had left , we found the peices of the origional windowframes and brickwork bueried as a poor attempt at a rockery in the back garden when we moved in, these rocks are placed along the verge at the front as a tribute to the building that was once beautiful.
. As for the pretty garden as you might know landscaping and construction are still under way and that takes time.
As for fitting in with the surroungings the building underwent a riggorous design phase and is constucted as a featured building with old fashioned style drawn from many era's and designed not to conform with the rest of the village as the rest of the village is mainly bungalow's and ugly buildings with very little character.
If anyone is after images i would be more than willing to provide some if you wish to email me
