Description
planning consent for a detached dwelling in the garden.
Description
Lewesdon is understood to have been built in 1904 and provides spacious, well appointed accommodation over three floors. The house has attractive, colour rendered elevations under a tiled roof and double bay windows on two levels to the front and until 2022 had been run as a 5* bed and breakfast.
An arched entrance porch opens onto a hallway with traditional tiled floor from where there is access to the kitchen and main reception rooms, including sitting and dining rooms, both with fireplaces, both flooded with light from the bay windows and to the rear of the house, a family room (with double doors to the dining room) which has a wood burning stove. The kitchen which has been enlarged by the present owners now provides a spacious, well-appointed kitchen and dining area with bifold doors to a large raised deck with elevated views over the garden and wood beyond. A utility room, inner hall and cloakroom with shower complete the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs there are two further floors, on the first being a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, a guest double with en suite bathroom and an additional double bedroom with adjacent large shower room. The top floor provides two further double bedrooms and a shower room.
At lower ground level there is a full size cellar accessed either via a staircase from the inner hall or from a garden level door.
Outside
To the front of the property, a small gravelled area enclosed by a stone wall and softened by an attractive low level laurel hedge provides access to the front of the house. Adjacent to the north elevation is a parking area accessed via a pair of five bar gates. The main garden is to the rear of the house, sloping gently to the boundary and is mostly laid to lawn. The boundary on three sides consists of a mix of fencing, shrubs, trees and hedging. Half way down the garden is a terrace and seating area. Beyond that is a further area for parking accessed from the north via an adjoining property. There is a further useful access point to the south. Immediately to the rear of the house is a large deck providing ample seating above and shade and log storage underneath. In addition there is a garage/workshop with gated access and door entry to the cellar provided extensive storage.
Planning
In September 2023 planning consent was approved for a detached two storey dwelling in the rear garden (application number P/FUL/2023/03606).
