The Cart Lodge has a large entrance hall from which there is a large
utility room (washing machine, tumble dryer and clothes airer), leading
from the entrance hall is the kitchen, dining room and the large lounge. |
| |
| The accommodation offers a large downstairs family bedroom (double
and single beds) with en suite shower room all with full wheelchair
access. On the first floor there are two twin rooms, one double room
with en suite and a large gallery with sofa bed. The views over the
marshes and Colne / Blackwater estuaries are excellent from the gallery. |
| |
| The Cart Lodge is set within a now partly redundant farm yard at the
end of a quite lane, 1.6 miles from the village centre where there are
numerous services including three pubs, post office, two shops, three
restaurants, hairdressers and a florist to name some. |
| |
| Bus routes run to both Clacton on Sea (5.9 miles) and Colchester
(13.7 miles) from here. Colchester, Britain’s oldest recorded town
offers much for those interested in architecture, history and shopping
plus a very good Zoo. |
| |
| There are pleasant walking & cycling opportunities around the farm,
village and nearby countryside. Fishing at our reservoir is included
(rod licence required), passes for nearby nature reserves are included,
there are superb bird watching opportunities (regular sightings of the
once rare Marsh Harrier for example). |
| |
| The location makes an excellent family base for the many sights of
the Essex and Suffolk coastline, countryside and the numerous tourist
attractions. |
The Cart Lodge is a converted farm building at Lee Wick Farm, the
farm is part of the family business of Roy Clarke and his son Robert. |
| |
| The farm specialises in growing around 180 acres of potatoes plus a
small acreage of cereals. |
| |
| However, over the years the need to diversify has resulted in the
development of a fishing club, stabling for around 18 horses and now
holiday cottages. |
| |
| The farm office is located at the top of the lane where you will
often find Robert behind his desk involved in the family’s other
business activity of ‘Potato Merchant’. |
| |
| Farming is the mainstay for the family but now augmented by numerous
other activities, if you’re enjoying your holiday at Lee Wick Farm, come
and say hello and collect a free sample of spuds! |
