Lyne LaneLyne, Chertsey, Surrey, KT16 0AN

Byways is a beautiful period home owned by the current family for over 60 years. The property is set in 1.187 acres of gardens with its own coach house, swimming pool and tennis court.

The house is located in central Lyne and is approached via close panel gates leading to an extensive gravel driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. The driveway divides leading to the front of the house and continues down to the coach house and stable courtyard. The house has been much loved over the last 60 years but could now benefit from refurbishment throughout.

The front door leads into a sizable entrance hall with a feature fireplace. Accessed off the hallway are the two formal reception rooms. The drawing room is of particular note with a feature fireplace, a bay window and French doors affording access to the side garden. Across the hall is the dining room which also has a feature fireplace, beautiful beam and can comfortably accommodate a dining table to seat 12 people.

Also located on the ground floor is a conservatory with French doors leading to the garden, a cosy snug with a fire place and a views looking out into the rear garden, a useful utility room, a WC and the Kitchen/Breakfast room. The Kitchen/Breakfast room benefits from a panty and also a lovely outlook into the garden. The ground floor also provides access to the basement/wine cellar.

On the first floor is the principal bedroom which enjoys a fantastic double aspect outlook into the garden and a good range of built in wardrobes.

On this floor there are four further double bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. There is also an upstairs study/dressing room which could also be used as a sixth bedroom if required. One of the bedrooms has an attractive feature fireplace and several of the others have the potential to reinstall them where they once were.

The first floor accommodation is completed by a linen cupboard and access to the attic which runs the full length of the house.

Within the grounds is a delightful coach house and courtyard with an original stable which makes for a wonderful feature of the property. Within the same attractive building is a tack room and a large loft space originally for storing apples from the orchard. This building currently makes for an ideal garage and storage but would also offer a fantastic opportunity to convert to alternative uses (subject to planning permission).

The gardens and grounds are beautiful, mature and in total measure about 1.2 acres. Directly to the rear of the house you have an old croquet lawn leading to the swimming pool and a wonderful rose garden. From here you have access to the full size tennis court. Either side of the coach house is an historic orchard and a kitchen garden with several potting sheds.
