Lydes Farm is a lovely former farmhouse, renovated by the present owners. It is most attractively presented and tastefully decorated and the interior has as warm and friendly atmosphere. The light rooms are well proportioned and are of good ceiling height. There are wood, wood effect, stone, and flagstone floors, beamed and vaulted ceilings, original and traditional fireplaces, with one fitted with a log burning stove. The elegant sitting room with Bath stone fireplace has a triple aspect and opens out to an enclosed Mediterranean terrace and the breakfast room opens to a flagstone terrace and has lovely views over its park-like grounds.

Further accommodation includes the dining room, bespoke kitchen with Aga and looks out over its tree line approach, as well as the family room, study/bedroom 6, utility room, cloak room and plant room that leads to the enclosed terrace and integral double garage.

On the first floor, all 5 bedrooms have wonderful views over its grounds and surrounding countryside. The superb 22' principal bedroom has a separate fitted out dressing room with a Juliet balcony and a large en-suite bath/shower room. There are four further bedrooms with 3 having the use of a family bath/shower room and bedroom 2 having an en-suite bathroom.

Lydes Farm is approached between a tall stone pillared gated entrance and over a long tree lined drive leading to a large gravelled turning circle in front of the house and the adjoining stone and tile garage/carport block. There are two double garages integrated with the house and three bay carport. From the carport, a staircase leads to a studio/home office with a door opening into a boarded storage area.

The grounds are a delight. Large expanses of level lawn are interspersed with many mature trees including Willows. Facing south and west, with access from the drawing room, is a walled stone paved enclosed Mediterranean area with fig trees and an ornamental lily pond, ideal for entertaining. Outside the west rear elevation, part walled and almost spanning the width is a further stone terrace with lovely views over its lawns and grounds. A wisteria adorns part of the west elevation. There is a small copse lying to the north west and a belt of trees shields a bridle path along the southern boundary.

In all the property extends to 2.74 acres.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 12, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
