Property Description

Lyncombe House is set back from the road via a generous private driveway offering ample parking for a number of cars. To the side of the house is an attached single garage and a gated gravel driveway leading to an Oak framed 2.5 bay garage and studio. The first impressions of the house are truly delightful, with its quintessential painted exterior, double glazed sash windows, and traditional clay tiled roof. 

You enter the property through a handy storm porch, with an attractive lantern rooflight, and a beautiful heated quarry tiled floor that continues into the reception hallway. Within the reception hallway stairs rise to the first floor, and there is a useful under stairs cupboard. To the right of the hallway is the first of four principal reception rooms, a characterful and atmospheric sitting room, with a delightful brick fireplace with an open fire grate, and stylish fitted cupboards to the chimney recesses. To the opposite side of the hallway lies a lovely dual aspect drawing room which features another slightly more contemporary fireplace with wood burning stove and open shelving to the side alcove, a great family room, there is even enough space for a piano. Set to the rear of the house is the dining room, a traditional long room with a fireplace to one end and original quarry tiles to the floor. From the dining room French doors flow through to a fantastic garden room which looks out over the rear garden and provides a wonderful additional reception room that enjoys the outdoors, whatever the weather.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a great size and is fitted with a substantial range of attractive wall and base Oak units complimented by a stylish granite worksurface. The kitchen features an exposed stone wall, a recessed chimney breast housing a superb Mercury induction cooker (not included in sale price), and space for a large American style fridge/freezer. There is an integrated dishwasher, Belfast sink and a built in window seat with space for a breakfast table. The room is enhanced by lovely views to the side over open fields, and a beautiful natural stone floor. From the kitchen an open passageway leads to a useful utility area and a well appointed ground floor shower room with Grohe fittings, wifi shower control and storage cupboards housing a tumble dryer. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a fantastic versatile room which looks over the garden and is currently utilised as a home office but could equally be utilised as a fifth bedroom or family/play room.

Moving onto the first floor, you will find four generous bedrooms and the family bathroom, two of the double bedrooms are set to the front of the house, including the main bedroom, which benefits from quality fitted wardrobes with sliding doors and a pretty, twelve pane, sash window. The second, front facing bedroom, also features fitted cupboards to the chimney recesses and the same twelve pane sash window. The remaining two bedrooms are to the rear of the house. One has fitted wardrobes and both enjoy lovely views over the rear garden. Finally, the family bathroom is fitted with a luxurious contemporary white suite, including an oversized bath with centralised Grohe taps, Roca hidden cistern w.c and modern wash hand basin. The bathroom comes complete with a stylish dual fuel chrome towel rail, solid oak flooring, smart neutral tiles and glass mosaics by Fired Earth.

Outside, the garden and grounds at Lyncombe House are every bit as impressive as the property itself. Stretching away from the house with a glorious southerly aspect the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped over the years to create fabulous entertaining spaces, peaceful corners to recline and relax, and a productive fruit and vegetable garden with flourishing fruit cages and established raised beds. Outside the house is a spacious stone patio, perfect for entertaining and garden parties, a neat level lawn that is bounded on one side by an original stone wall and an established flower bed to the other with a stone pathway leading towards and through a wisteria covered pergola, beyond the pergola is a fantastic space for children's play equipment and another area of lawn. Within this section you will find the magnificent Oak framed 2.5 bay garage and studio. Behind the automatic roller doors, on the ground floor there is plenty of room to park/store two large vehicles, along with a Roca w.c suite, and a kitchenette, whilst to the top floor an external staircase leads you to a superb home office/studio featuring oak parquet flooring and contemporary electric heating, perfect for those who work from home or are seeking a space to utilise as a studio, craft room and even a potential annexe (subject to the necessary consents). Beyond the Garage/studio you will find the productive fruit and vegetable garden which also features an enchanting ornamental pond with elegant water feature, a fantastic brick based Alitex greenhouse with power and lighting, and even a chicken run. 

Within the garden there are a variety of beautiful trees, flowers and shrubs which afford the garden exceptional privacy, along with a number of fruit trees - including fig, apple and pear - soft fruit bushes and numerous vegetables within the raised planters. The garden is truly a huge asset to the home, and for those with green fingers a divine space to wind away the time and enjoy the abundant nature and wildlife that can be found in this glorious semi rural location.

WE HAVE NOTICED... An absolutely delightful rural home with a stylish and characterful interior, gorgeous garden and a superb Oak framed garage and studio. Excellent scope to create a 2 storey extension in place of the attached single garage (subject to the necessary consents). If you are searching for a unique family home with flexible accommodation and further potential then Lyncombe House is a must see property.

OUR VENDOR SAYS... It’s a lovely, characterful, light, and versatile house that - perhaps above all else - offers space. There is no shortage of space for everyone - family and visitors - inside and out - to find a place to do their thing. An art or craft project, room to play, hobbies or work, garden pottering or just the solitude of a good book. The house offers plenty of options for gathering too. Stoke up the wood burner in the dining room and call everyone around the table or sit around a firepit to enjoy sunset over the pond. We have many happy memories of cosy Christmas and birthday dinners and family times enjoying the garden and socialising with friends. 

We’re sure that whoever the custodian is of the next chapter of Lyncombe House, they will love it as much as we have…

P.S. The access gate in the garden leads you over the fields to the legendary “Crown” pub!
