Images of the property show it’s accessed from a private driveway and path, adding to its seclusion. The ground floor is simply made up of two sections, split down the middle by a grand hallway.
To one side there’s a kitchen/diner, with a separate pantry room and to the other is a drawing room with a feature log burning stove in the centre and office at the other side. The kitchen is full of character, with an exposed brick chimney breast partitioning the kitchen from the dining area.
On the first floor are all five of the bedrooms, and a large landing space with a library area. Across the two floors are two three-piece bathrooms and two toilets.
One of the main draws of Lychwood House are the 1.68 acres of land it is sat on. The plot is made up of a lawned area with a large area of woodland, mature trees, shrubs and plants. There’s also a detached garage on the plot and plenty of parking spaces available.
The Savills listing reads: “Lychwood House was built in the 1980s on the site of the former tennis court which was at the time within the grounds of the neighbouring Anthony’s Close.
“The house has never been on the open market before and the idyllic property has been architecturally designed and constructed by the owners using rare and valuable reclaimed building materials and contains a number of charming features such as bespoke hardwood doors and windows, York stone flags internally and externally along with exposed pine beams and further features.
“The property is approached via a private driveway which leads to a parking area in front of the garage and a path which leads up to the house and beautiful Lychgate entrance/porch area.”
