Surrounded by fields on a substantial plot approaching an acre, Lyth House offers a combination of charming cottage style character and generous family accommodation, all within striking distance of Norwich city centre in the village of Old Costessey.
Accessing the property via the gated gravel driveway, the front door leads in to the formal dining room with cork tiled floor and feature fireplace. To the right hand side lies the main kitchen with a range of high and low level shaker style units with solid wooden worktops, integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer and an oil fired arga. This leads on to a rear lobby/boot room with further kitchen storage and a timber door leading out to the covered veranda.
Also accessed from the central dining room are the stairs to first floor level as well as a separate utility/cloakroom WC, with plumbing for washing machine. Beyond this, are two further reception rooms including the main 300sqft dual aspect lounge wood burner and views to the rear garden as well as a further sitting room with glazed double doors out to the rear garden.
At first floor level there are four well proportioned double bedrooms accessed via a central landing, as well as a family bathroom with four piece suite including bath and separate shower. A second staircase leads back down to the main living room.
Outside, there are 0.89 acres of wrap around gardens with mature trees, hedgerows and central beds, as well as generous lawns. As well as the driveway, the property previously had a detached garage which could be reinstated with the existing foundations. Furthermore, there is a separate timber frame outbuilding that has previously been used as stables, and has potential for future improvement.
Heating and hot water are oil fired, and sewage runs to a septic tank and soakaway. The property has mains electric and water supply.
