An exceptional detached home set within beautifully landscaped private grounds.

Description

Lymekilns is a substantial detached family home of notable scale and quality, set within beautifully maintained private grounds and offering an exceptional balance of flexible accommodation, ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining.

The property is approached via electrically operated gates opening onto an expansive driveway, providing ample parking (with electrical charging point) and a strong sense of arrival. Mature hedging and well-defined boundaries ensure privacy, while the detached double garage sits neatly to the side, complemented by a highly versatile studio space above.

Upon entering, a welcoming reception hall sets an immediate tone of quality, with herringbone flooring, a contemporary palette and a striking staircase rising to the first floor, naturally lit by a tall feature window. The ground floor accommodation is particularly well-balanced, offering a variety of interconnected and distinct living spaces.

The principal lounge is an impressive room of great length, centred around a feature fireplace and enjoying excellent natural light. This space flows seamlessly into a bright conservatory, with full-height glazing and a glazed roof providing uninterrupted views across the gardens and direct access to the terrace beyond.
At the heart of the house lies a superb open-plan kitchen and family living space, finished to a high specification with sleek cabinetry, a central island and integrated appliances. A series of rooflights and full-height glazing ensure the room is flooded with natural light, while doors open directly onto the raised decked terrace, creating a seamless connection with the outdoors. A contemporary feature woodburning stove forms a focal point within the adjoining sitting area, enhancing the overall sense of comfort and design.
The dining room is equally impressive, featuring a vaulted ceiling and full-height window, making it a superb space for both formal entertaining and everyday use, with direct access onto the terrace. A well-appointed snug offers flexibility as a study or family room.
Practicality is well addressed with a substantial utility room, fitted with extensive cabinetry and work surfaces, alongside external access. A stylish WC completes the ground floor.

The first floor accommodation is arranged around a bright and spacious landing, enhanced by a large window and overlooking the stairwell below. The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, offering a calm and refined retreat with a dedicated dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom, finished with freestanding bath, separate shower and elegant marble-effect tiling.
Three further bedrooms are all well proportioned and attractively presented. Two are generous doubles with excellent natural light, while the fourth provides a flexible single room, ideal as a nursery, study or additional bedroom. These rooms are served by a well-appointed family shower room.

The detached garage is topped by a substantial first floor room, currently arranged as a gym. With a vaulted ceiling and rooflights, this space is bright and adaptable, lending itself equally well to use as a studio, home office, games room or further ancillary accommodation.

Externally, the gardens are a particular highlight of the property. To the rear, a broad expanse of level lawn is framed by mature hedging, trees and well-stocked planting beds, creating a private and sheltered setting. A raised composite decked terrace, finished with glass balustrading, extends from the house and provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, complemented by a further paved patio area.
A charming summerhouse is positioned towards the rear boundary, while pathways and planting create visual interest and structure throughout the garden. The overall layout is both functional and beautifully landscaped, offering a superb environment for family use and relaxation.

Lymekilns represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of significant scale and quality, combining versatile accommodation with carefully designed living spaces and outstanding gardens, all within the highly sought-after setting of Thorntonhall.
