Description

1 Lyndhurst Drive is a charming Grade II listed octagonal ragstone house, the former residence of the Montreal Park Gatekeeper, believed to date from 1830 and extended since. The property provides spacious and well-presented accommodation and is set on a sought-after residential road within approx. 0.7 miles of the station, 0.6 miles (by foot path) of popular primary schools and 1.3 miles of the High Street. Salient points include exposed ceiling timbers, multi-pane sash windows with decorative shutters, radiator covers, an attractive fireplace, well-established gardens, a detached garage and additional off-road parking.

The reception rooms comprise a light, double aspect sitting room with views over the front gardens and an attractive fireplace inset with a wood burner and a study with views to the rear garden.

The double aspect kitchen/breakfast/dining room benefits from a roof lantern and doors to the rear terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units by Rencraft with granite work surfaces incorporating a butler sink, an integral range oven and space for appliances.

An adjoining utility room with additional storage and space for appliances, and a well-appointed shower room complete the ground floor.

Arranged over the first floor are two bright, well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and a modern, double aspect en suite bathroom.

The property is approached via a wooden pedestrian gate and paved path which leads around the house, with the front and side elevations adorned by roses and wisteria. There are deep borders planted with a variety of herbaceous shrubs, with evergreen hedging to the perimeter providing a high degree of privacy.

To the rear and side of the property are two paved terraces, ideal for al fresco entertaining. The established and secluded rear garden is principally laid to lawn, flanked on both sides by well-stocked borders. There is also a shed and a wood store.

The garage and off road parking for 1 Lyndhurst Drive can be found approx. 0.1 of a mile from the property on Brittains Lane, on the right.
