10 Lyndhurst Road is a charming semi detached family house at
the end of a quiet cul de sac in the heart of Westbury on
Trym.
Families love the security and peace of the road with a strong
sense of community given; the road‘s no through status.
The house itself was comprehensively refurbished circa 6 years
ago, although due to the owner‘s postings overseas only lightly
lived in since. Perhaps of most importance is the opening up of the
rear; giving the property a delightful full width kitchen and
dining room, with twin pairs of French doors bringing the outside
in.
To the front, the driveway has been improved to accommodate two
cars, whilst the garage has been reduced to incorporate a utility
room, accessed from the kitchen. With its front facing garage door
however this is a great space for bikes, sports camping equipment
etc. whilst also opening up via a side door to the garden.
Internally, the house is accessed via welcoming entrance hall,
with stairs up the first floor and generous understairs storage.
Just to the side of the hall is a fabulous sitting room, flooded
with natural light from its square bay window with New England
shutters.
A cast iron wood burning stove provides both a focal point and
comforting warmth in the winter; although given the excellent
double glazing throughout the house heats up very efficiently. Both
chimney recesses have bespoke built in storage cupboards for a TV,
books and games cupboards.
To the rear the owners have dramatically improved the flow,
opening up several smaller rooms to create a sociable family space;
with a stylish fitted kitchen, designated dining area and two pairs
of French doors leading out into the garden.
The kitchen itself is well fitted, with a modern Belfast sink
overlooking the garden, lots of floor and wall mounted storage
cupboards and an integrated dishwasher, with space for a large
fridge freezer and a generous stainless steel range cooker.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room and cloakroom,
with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, a w.c,
stainless steel sink and drainer unit and heated towel
ladder.
From the hall, the stairs access the first floor, splitting
right to left on a half landing.
To the right lies a sizeable double bedroom, with a light filled
triple aspect.
To the left lie the three remaining bedrooms and the family
bathroom. Bedroom one is a great size; with the square bay allowing
plenty of natural light also with New England shutters and a twin
set of wardrobes built in the recesses either side of the chimney
breast.
To the rear lies a further double bedroom, whilst to the front
is a charming fourth bedroom, small than the others and perfect
nursery, single bed or home office.
The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, with a panelled
bath complete with a hand held shower, oversize walk in shower
cubicle, low level w.c and a vanity basin. Dual aspect opaque
double glazed windows provide natural light and ventilation the rom
further benefits from a tiled floor and heated towel rail.
From the larger of the two landings a hatch provides access to
the loft which, subject to the necessary consents, could be
developed further. At present, it offers accessible and useful
additional storage.
Outside
To the front, No. 10 is approached towards the end of the road
with off street parking for several cars.
The rear garden is fully enclosed and mostly laid to lawn; with
a side gate giving access to the front, a side door leading into
out of the garage and two pairs of French doors leading out from
the kitchen and dining room.
Wrapping around the house from the rear to the side it manages
to catch much of the day‘s sun, with a dedicated very private paved
dining terrace to one corner and a raised bed to the other.
The garage, having lost space to create the utility is too small
for a family car, but does open up options for a workshop,
excellent additional storage or, subject to consent, converting
into additional family accommodation with the house.
Nearby, the amenities at Canford Park are hugely appreciated by
local families; with their well equipped play equipment, tennis
courts and open public space.
