A beautifully presented country house situated within park like grounds including a converted barn, triple cart lodge with studio above and heated swimming pool.
Lyston House is a substantial Grade II listed country home in a glorious rural setting with no near neighbours. The property has been significantly improved and extended during the current owners' tenure and provides characterful high-quality accommodation. The property contains three reception rooms, an AGA kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, study/snug, utility and cloakroom at ground floor. Upstairs are four double bedrooms (two with en-suites) and a further bathroom. On the second floor are two useful loft rooms with a variety of potential uses.
The gardens have been beautifully curated with a diverse variety of mature trees and colourful flowers and contain sweeping areas of lawn and numerous attractive areas of seating. There is also a detached barn which has been converted into a home office space with a shower room and conversion potential into a self-contained annexe as well as a cart lodge with a double and single garage and studio space above. There is also a lovely heated swimming pool.
Adjacent to the property is a stone paved terrace which provides a pretty elevated area of seating from which to enjoy views of the garden. The property benefits from a stunning mature garden which contains sweeping areas of lawn interspersed with specimen trees including a 600 year old oak and a variety of fruit trees. A central pond is an attractive feature set within the lawns. To the rear of the garden is a paved terrace providing a further area of seating and a separate fenced garden to one side of the house which is ideal for containing pets.
THE BARN Converted around 2011, the barn represents an opportunity for further conversion into self-contained accommodation if required and has been attractively clad in weatherboarding with cleverly designed windows to provide plenty of natural light.

The setting is simply delightful - the surrounding countryside is very lovely. The house has been sympathetically extended and I love the kitchen which opens into a fabulous garden room overlooking the park like gardens.
