Set on the edge of Lyddington village, Scales Dyke is a substantial, stone-and-brick family house offering nearly 9,500 sq ft of flexible living across three floors. The home was built in 2006 to a high standard with sash-style windows, solid oak and tiled floors, and underfloor heating to the ground and first floors. The heart of the house is an 875 sq ft open-plan kitchen and sun room opening to a terrace — excellent for day-to-day family life and entertaining.
The property sits within about 2.3 acres including mature, south‑west facing gardens, an orchard, sun terrace and two paddocks with two stables and a field shelter. Ancillary accommodation includes a double garage, separate single garage with solar PV, timber workshop, kennels and generous gravel parking and turning. A notable leisure feature is the indoor swimming pool complex with changing rooms and large floor‑to‑ceiling windows, offering a year‑round leisure facility.
Accommodation is extensive: a principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite, two further en suite bedrooms, three more bedrooms served by a family bathroom, plus an office wing with two offices and a separate entrance creating clear annexe or staff accommodation potential. The second floor provides three attic rooms and a gym, giving further scope for hobbies or flexible use.
Practical considerations are clear and important. The scale and range of facilities mean above‑average running and maintenance costs (pool plant, gardens, paddocks, stabling). The property lies largely within a conservation area and is in an established village with many listed buildings, which may restrict some external alterations. Access is via a shared/partially tarmacked driveway with a right of way; parking is generous but rural services (stables, paddocks) require ongoing upkeep.
