Nestled in the heart of the vibrant village of Keinton Mandeville, Lyas Cottage is a beautifully presented detached family home offering versatile living across three thoughtfully designed floors. Sold with no onward chain, this delightful property seamlessly blends character with modern functionality, comfort and space.

The front door opens into a charming entrance hall, where an elegant oak staircase rises ahead, and a beautifully laid stone floor guides you seamlessly into the main living space. The heart of the home is the generous kitchen and breakfast room, featuring a gas-fired range cooker and ample space for additional appliances. Exposed red brick and oak beams, give this room a wonderful feeling of character.

French doors open onto a beautifully enclosed garden which is perfect for family living or quiet afternoons outdoors. The sitting room is a wonderfully sized room with the stone fireplace being the focal point of the room and a great feature for cooler nights. Adjacent to the kitchen, a sizeable utility room provides practical space with plumbing for a washer and dryer, while a ground-floor cloakroom adds convenience.

Flexibility is key at Lyas Cottage. The ground floor also includes a room ideal as a fifth bedroom, playroom, or snug, alongside a separate space previously used as a home office—perfect for remote working. Underfloor heating throughout the ground and first floors ensures year-round comfort.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts a stunning master bedroom which is brimming with character and benefits from an en-suite bathroom and large built-in wardrobes. Two additional bedrooms, and a large family bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation. A fourth double bedroom crowns the second floor, offering peace and privacy.

Outside

Lyas Cottage enjoys a wonderful position in the village and benefits from off-road parking for three cars and an enclosed rear garden, making it ideal for families and outdoor enjoyment. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with the footings in place for a garden shed. A patio area, with doors opening into the kitchen/breakfast room, provides a wonderful space for entertaining or outdoor family meals.
Flower beds framing the rear garden offer a wonderful opportunity for green-fingered enthusiasts to indulge their passion for gardening. 

Situation

Keinton Mandeville sits midway between the market towns of Somerton to the West, and Castle Cary to the East, the origins of the village date back to the Roman times and its popularity grew both because of the local "Blue Lias" stone and being situated on the old coach route from London to the South West. The Church of St. Mary Magdalene dates from the 13th century.
 
Today the village has a population of around 1,000 people with its own primary school, a local shop ‘The Keinton Stores" and local pub "The Quarry Inn". Somerton is just a few minutes away which is a picturesque town, originally the county town of Somerset and before that, possibly the capital of Wessex. It offers all the usual amenities of a market town, bars/restaurants as well as a small supermarket. Additional local shopping can be found in the nearby towns of Castle Cary and Bruton.

Other local attractions include Stourhead Gardens, Babington House, (Soho House’s country mansion) and Longleat Safari Park.
