    The Wiedman Cottage (Southeastern London)

    on August 02, 2010, 07:24:08 PM

    Welcome to the Wiedman Family Estate

    Introduction

    Description and Location
    The Wiedman family estate is a four bedroom cottage on five acres of somewhat heavily wooded land on a remote spot to the South East of London, complete with a finished basement and a two bedroom guest house, and surrounded by magical gardens.  The property is protected from Muggle detection by a powerful shielding spell which has been registered with the Ministry under the statute of secrecy.  It is known intimately to many pureblood families that are of the darker persuasion, who are always made to feel welcome, part of an "extended family" tethered together by reciprocal obligations and hospitality.  The Wiedmans believe in the preservation of Pureblood heritage.  Like-minded guests or stray children are often invited to stay in the guest cottage.

    Residents and Guests
    Its full-time residents are Aliec and Dianora Wiedman, parents of Dominik and Dazmond Wiedman and also the Uncle and Aunt of Liviana Wiedman.  Liviana is a 6th year Slytherin who lives here during the Summers and Holidays; she will be welcomed and indeed encouraged to call it home as long as she likes.  Dominik and Dazmond grew up here and have each moved out, though both still have their fully-furnished bedrooms in tact for whenever they decide to stay; both spend their fair share of time back home with the folks.

    Some guests of the Wiedman Cottage so far have been / will be:  Beatrix and Bellatrix Dark, Euphemia Grissom-Dolohov, Dolly St. James (and probably other St. Jameses), and likely the Whitmans.  Please send a PM if you'd like to plot old family connections!  We love those.

    Rules of the House

    1. You may smoke in the veranda. 
    2. Things that are said in the Wiedman cottage... stay in the Wiedman cottage.

    The Yard and Gardens

    The house, guest house, and gardens sit on a five acre lot nestled in a wooded area.  There is a complex enchantment surrounding the property and one must apparate in to the apparition point, which is a well-trod-upon patch of grass and cobblestone bricks set in a little circular area surrounded by tall hedges.  This opens up into some of the gardens and one must walk the length of the lawn to reach the houses.  The grass is willowy and more field-like in appearance rather than an actually manicured lawn.  Gnomes roam the gardens from time to time but often turn up dead from munching on poisonous plants.  Dianora Wiedman is well-known for her ravishing flower arrangements which she gifts to other families on occasion.

    The Guest Cottage

    Next to the main house is the Wiedmans' guest cottage.  From the open air veranda there are two doors quite near each other, with a den immediately within the left door and the dining area and kitchen within the narrower side door to the right.  Past the den is a staircase leading up to a second floor with two bedrooms and a bath, plus an office.  There is a House Elf who lives in the attic above the office and waits on guests.

    The Main House

    The main house is three stories with a finished basement.  It is connected to the guest house via the veranda.  On the spacious first floor there is an entry, a large den with study, dining room, and kitchen.  On the second floor is the master bath, a living room, and Aliec and Dianora's bedroom.  On the third floor is Dazmond's room and Liviana's room across the hall from each other.  Down in the basement there is a lounge, and off of the lounge on one side is Dominik's room.  On the other side is a large workshop room.  Each floor has its own bathroom, though there isn't a bath tub on the first floor.
