Grade II listed — historic character but restrictions on alterations
Lyndhurst is a spacious, sensitively restored Grade II listed village house offering almost 2,914 sq ft of flexible family living. Fully refurbished in 2023 and extended to the rear, the house combines period character — exposed beams, stone walls and mullioned windows — with contemporary fittings, bespoke Hunt Kitchens joinery and modern bi-fold doors opening to the terrace.
The ground floor suits busy family life: three generous reception rooms, an open-plan living and dining space running the full depth of the house, a snug, and a home office. Five double bedrooms and principal en suite upstairs provide comfortable sleeping accommodation, while utility space and plentiful storage add practical convenience. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make remote working straightforward.
Outside, the west-facing landscaped garden is private and mature with a gravel terrace for entertaining and a sizeable lawn beyond. Off-street parking is provided on a gravel driveway with additional on-street parking nearby. The village setting is peaceful and well served for local life, with good primary and secondary school options within reach and Chipping Norton a short drive for wider amenities.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listing preserves historic character but will complicate significant alterations or extensions. Council tax is above average, and being part of an attractive historic terrace limits large-scale external expansion without impacting character. Overall, this is a turnkey family home for buyers who value period charm, quality finishes and village living rather than major redevelopment potential.
