Coopers Hill Road, Nutfield, RH1

Lyttel Hall is one of Nutfield’s most distinctive buildings, and this impressive duplex apartment makes the most of its scale, character and wonderful outlook. Extending to approximately 1,442 sq ft, it combines high ceilings, deep cornicing, sash windows and solid wood floors with a private walled garden and substantial balcony. The sense of occasion begins on arrival. A tiled entrance porch opens into the magnificent communal hall, where richly carved timber panelling, a coffered ceiling, substantial beams and an ornate staircase reflect the history and grandeur of the building. Access to a communal cellar.

The apartment’s private entrance hall continues the feeling of quality, with cornicing, tall skirtings, wood flooring and built-in storage. From the entrance hall, there is a double bedroom with sash windows and decorative cornicing, together with a well-appointed shower room. An inner lobby provides further storage and leads through to the principal bedroom suite, where a wide archway opens into a fitted walk-in dressing room. A second shower room incorporates a double-width walk-in shower and a concealed utility cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The accommodation then opens into the impressive living, dining and kitchen space, where high ceilings, ornate cornicing and solid wood flooring continue throughout. The bespoke kitchen has granite worktops, a central island and an extensive range of cabinetry. Appliances include two Neff ovens, a five-ring gas hob, Bosch dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer, together with a one-and-a-half bowl sink and mixer tap. The double-aspect dining area comfortably accommodates a large table, while the generous living area has sash windows and double doors opening directly into the private garden. Stairs rise from the living room to a versatile library and home office with air conditioning and fitted shelving. Almost full-width glazing frames the far-reaching countryside views, with double doors opening onto the substantial private balcony.

Outside: Electric gates open onto a large residents’ car park, which continues around the side of Lyttel Hall. The apartment has two allocated parking spaces, together with EV charging. Residents also enjoy extensive communal gardens, laid mainly to lawn and framed by mature specimen trees and established planting. A broad paved terrace provides an additional place to sit and enjoy the attractive surroundings.

The apartment’s private walled garden is a particularly appealing feature, creating a secluded space that feels almost hidden from the rest of Lyttel Hall. Double doors open directly from the living room onto a paved terrace with plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining. The old walls are softened by mature Virginia creeper and established planting, with a garden store providing useful storage. The first-floor library opens onto a substantial full-width balcony with a decked surface, lighting and wrought-iron railings. It provides a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
