Access to Lily Cottage is from Post Office Lane, a historic and picturesque area of the village dating back to Lyndon’s establishment in the 1600s. Choose to enter through the pedestrian gateway or the gravel driveway, which offers ample parking space for two vehicles. Immediately apparent upon entering the property, from either the front or rear doors, is the quality of refurbishment undertaken during 2019 (and impeccably cared for since).

On the ground floor, the entrance room provides valuable space with appropriate flooring, saving muddy footprints from getting into the house! The carpeted sitting room features a prominent exposed timber beam, solid oak ledged doors and an open fireplace to provide cosy comfort from cold, wintry weather. Functional cupboard space also exists beneath the stairs. Having intelligently reconsidered the kitchen and dining area layout during the renovations, the positioning and sizing of worktops and units allow this space to work incredibly effectively despite the limited area. Access to the rear of the property is available from this room.

Return to the entrance area and carpeted stairway to access the first floor, with a half landing breaking the climb. Further oak doors greet you at the upper landing area, opening to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom also underwent a complete reconfiguration during the restoration, allowing a relatively small space to accommodate a bath and shower cubicle, plus the regular necessities. Bedroom one overlooks the front of the property, facing east across the grazing paddocks and ever-changing arable farmland beyond. Bedroom two looks out to the rear and, although smaller, can also accommodate a double bed. Both bedrooms feature built-in storage space and have matching carpeted floors.

Installing slim double glazing to the existing frames throughout the home has enhanced the energy efficiency whilst retaining the period look. The roof space is also fully insulated.

The manageable garden enjoys established planted borders, shrubbery, and lawn areas, with an attractive dry stone wall surrounding the exterior.

An oil-fired central heating system efficiently warms the property. Locating the boiler in the outbuilding realised valuable house space, and providing laundry plumbing out there also allows for a kitchen dishwasher. Finally, a Megaflo cylinder provides a pressurised hot water supply.

There are connections to mains water, sewerage, and electricity.

Lyndon has fibre broadband internet with download speeds typically available up to around 50Mbps.
