Lynwood is  a charming detached Bungalow, dating back to the 1960's. Situated along Long Street in the popular and well served village of Croscombe. The property enjoys a deep set frontage and southerly back drop over farmland and the River Sheppey. Its easy to relax and slow down at this property which due to its large windows, reminiscent of the architectural era of the 1960s has an abundance of natural light.

There is an exciting option here to extend also if required subject to planning permissions. Previous in 2005 planning was permitted(now lapsed) for a single storey side extension and change of access. 

The property has an attractive frontage and a well planned layout as you enter, with a porch area leading into the central hallway which is wide and serves all the rooms. To the left is spacious L-shaped Living/dining room which has a focal fire place and no less than three windows to three aspect giving light through the daytime.  At the end of the hallway is the kitchen/Breakfast room, this is presently in the middle of being replaced with a new one which will make life easy for a new owner, from here you can overlook the rear garden and have a doorway also leading out to a covered veranda. 

To the side is the bathroom which has three piece suite including a mixer shower over the bath, everything you will need or you can change it up to suit. To the right hand side of the hallway you can discover the two double bedrooms of very similar size. The main bedroom logically overlooks the rear garden and enjoys the southerly aspect. The main hallway also has a loft hatch with a pull down ladder with partial boarding power and light making it very practical for storage.

Heading out side the south facing rear garden is a natural sun trap,  enclosed by fences and a low stone wall. Its a wonderful place to be overlooking the farmland behind and the gentle babbling of the River Sheppey in your ear. The garden has several different areas to enjoy, including a lawn area, patio for out door seating and dining,  there is a vegetable garden and an area of Cerny stone to the rear and side for low maintenance enjoyment, maybe you could place wooden planters and pots. To the right hand side is a hardstanding area which doubles up as additional parking behind the hardwood double gates. 

The front garden is deep set behind a stone wall, level with flowers, shrubs and trees coming out in bloom. You can see passers by but feel far enough away to feel privacy. The drive way is long with an open frontage, laid to tarmaccadam and can accommodate two cars in front of the double gates with ease and more behind. This could be ideal if you have a caravan or camper home.
