Originally constructed around 1800. This property became the residence of The Head Gardener before being occupied by the late Harry Betts; Harry’s father came to Lyndon in 1903, employed as The Groom, with Harry becoming The Chauffeur. He lived in this house for 40 years until 1997 (age 90), so the Gardener’s Cottage aptly became Harry’s House! Renovations have since modernised the property whilst retaining many period features.

The gated entrance from Church Road turns into the driveway, opening to ample room for manoeuvring and parking.

Enter the house through the original front door or, more typically, via the adjacent entrance hall. The first stop is the kitchen, fitted with farmhouse units and an electric range - cook here, taking in the lovely view across the front garden and paddock beyond. Walk down the stone steps into the dining area, which, like the kitchen, has a fantastic structure of exposed ceiling beams and a tiled floor - this room would have been the kitchen in bygone times. Next, the comfortable and extensive sitting room has an open fireplace and exposed oak ceiling beams, and it enjoys plenty of natural lighting from both the front and rear gardens. The converted former outhouse, behind the kitchen, provides a functional utility area and cloakroom, with a further room beyond equally usable as a fourth bedroom or study.

Access the first floor from the rear of the dining area, where the spacious lower hallway provides valuable storage for coats, footwear, etc. Ascend the stairs, and straight ahead is the family bathroom fitted with all the usual conveniences, including a powered shower. Immediately to the right is the largest of the three upstairs bedrooms, with two skylight windows providing an airy feel. Venture back along the upper hallway to find the smallest bedroom on the right (sufficient as a double), and at the far end is the en-suite bedroom fitted out with built-in wardrobes and cupboards.

Outside at the front, find abundant, easily manageable lawns with planted borders and various shrubs - the area outside the sitting room provides a relaxing sun trap. Then, heading towards the rear gardens, find a large timber shed offering practical storage, with the heating oil tank opposite. The extensive grassed garden behind the house is enclosed by stonewalling and established hedging, along with various trees, including several productive fruits, including what is understood to be a rare ancient apple - and, of course, ample room remains to entertain or let the kids safely play!

This house benefits from a new oil-fired central heating and hot water installation with radiators in every room. The tenancy includes an electric range cooker, replacing the smelly energy-inefficient Aga installed here for many years.

There are connections to mains water, sewerage, and electricity.
