Property description
Lyndhurst is quite simply a charming period family home with beautiful views over the village of Dittisham across the River Dart towards rolling countryside beyond. Believed to have been built in circa 1874 this Grade II Listed house has been thoughtfully extended in recent times with the addition of a larger well fitted kitchen/breakfast room. Polished slate tiled floors extend from the kitchen/breakfast room into the dining room where there is an exposed Devon stone fireplace with log burner. The master bedroom with en-suite shower room is located on the ground floor. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, family bathroom and a cosy sitting room from which superb views are enjoyed across the River Dart.
Outside to the back of the house there are beautifully landscaped south facing gardens arranged in tiers (with two linhays), leading up to a charming spot with gazebo and quite wonderful river views.
A garage is situated to the side of the house with a further parking space.
ABOUT DITTISHAM
Dittisham is one of the most attractive villages that you'll come across in South Devon. It is an un-spoilt and exceptionally beautiful riverside settlement on the Dart and whether you are looking at Lyndhurst as your permanent home or as a holiday residence the charms and indeed amenities of this 'chocolate box' village are many. For sheer convenience the River Dart can be accessed from the creek just a very short stroll from the property where there are running moorings for tenders and Dittisham Sailing Club, located on the foreshore, is a lively group with a full diary of racing and leisure sailing. There is also an annual Ditsum Regatta and The Ham provides an excellent play area for children, your own or visiting!
The village is well served by two public houses and a separate riverside restaurant. The Red Lion is quite the life blood of the village being also the general stores, newsagent, post office, community library, gift shop and even dry cleaners!
The village hall is a well used venue providing a home for the Dittisham Football team, WI, short mat bowls, Horticultural Society, Yoga group and Ditsum Players. An excellent amateur dramatic group that keeps the village well entertained with cabarets, pantomimes and serious productions and is always open and welcoming to new members.
Last but not least is St Georges Church
over one thousand years old and still going strong providing not only a well attended place of worship, support and friendship but also a place to learn bell ringing or enjoy visiting choral and musical events.
The village may be small but certainly not lacking!
