A rare four-bedroom detached cottage set on a large plot in semi-rural Lynsted, combining traditional character with practical modern upgrades. Interiors show original exposed brick fireplaces and rustic beams alongside a contemporary fitted kitchen with granite worktops and a separate utility room. The property includes a converted barn providing extensive garage space with a games room above — useful for family storage, hobbies or flexible accommodation.
Outdoor living is a strong selling point: a dedicated swimming pool and generous private gardens offer space for children, pets and summer entertaining. Heating is via an air-source heat pump with underfloor electric heating, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and providing even warmth across the ground floor. The house is extremely spacious (approximately 3,830 sq ft) and laid out over multiple storeys, offering versatile living and guest space.
Buyers should note a few material points: broadband speeds are very slow, which will affect home working and streaming; local crime levels are above average; and council tax is described as expensive. The property sits in a hamlet-style location with limited immediate services — while attractive for countryside living, access to shops and rail links requires a short drive.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-filled family house with substantial outdoor space and outbuilding flexibility. It offers strong potential for lifestyle buyers who prioritise space, privacy and a rural setting, provided they accept the slow broadband and the local cost and security considerations.
