About this property

A rare and distinguished opportunity to acquire a charming wing of an exceptional mansion house, converted to create a number of separate dwellings in the 1954. Formerly the coach house, this enchanting three-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully adapted into a delightful cottage-style home, effortlessly blending period character with a warm and inviting ambience.

With its original features, the property showcases an elegant stained glass window, a feature fireplace, and an abundance of natural light that enhances its cosy interiors. Approached via a shared driveway, Tyhurst Lodge enjoys a wonderfully secluded position, tucked discreetly within the grounds of the main house, offering both privacy and a true sense of retreat.
The accommodation is both versatile and well-proportioned. Two charming reception rooms form the heart of the home: a delightful living room with a bay window framing picturesque views over the rear garden, and a characterful dining room, also with a bay window, overlooking the enclosed front patio—perfect for intimate dining or entertaining. From here, one flows seamlessly into a separate, cottage-style kitchen, thoughtfully arranged to complement the home’s heritage.
The ground floor also hosts a third bedroom, positioned to the front of the property and enjoying pleasant views across the grounds—ideal as a guest room, home office, or additional living space, depending on one’s needs.
Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms provide comfortable and tranquil retreats, served by a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and further access to a useful loft room, currently utilised as a study, offering additional flexibility.

Outside
Externally, the property truly excels. The stunning, secluded garden is a particular highlight, thoughtfully planted with a variety of mature trees and seasonal flora. A magnificent wisteria gracefully adorns the rear elevation, creating a breathtaking display during the late spring months of May and June. The level, west-facing garden enjoys an abundance of afternoon and evening sunlight, providing an idyllic setting for relaxation, gardening, or alfresco entertaining.
Further benefits include a wooden garage and off-street parking for two to three vehicles, completing this unique and highly desirable offering.

Situation
