SITUATION

We are delighted to be offering Lythmore, a unique and substantial bungalow which occupies a little known location along a peaceful lane in Pennsylvania yet convenient for all amenities. The property is within only a few minutes of the main university campus with the city centre a little further on and is also on a regular bus route.

Lythmore is a highly individual and substantial residence which has been imaginatively extended to now afford vast accommodation which offers great versatility. The principal rooms at the front face south and include an impressive sitting room which has virtually full height windows to the front facing south and enjoying a very pleasant view over the front garden and far beyond. There are also doors leading into an excellent sun room which has patio doors leading out to a wonderful sun terrace. The separate dining room measures a massive 38’ and could be divided to also provide a study area or library and again has doors leading into the sun room. Also at the front of the bungalow is the master bedroom suite which was originally two bedrooms providing an attractive seating area and space for extensive bedroom furniture then leading into a spacious bedroom area with large en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms in the main bungalow one with an adjoining well appointed kitchen ideal for a relative who wants to live independently yet be close to their family.

From the entrance porch a separate hallway leads to the indoor swimming pool complex, the pool itself measuring 30′ × 14′9" (9.14m x 4.5m) and with an adjoining bathroom and former sauna. In addition there is a former exercise room which is currently used as a fifth bedroom and offers an incredibly rare asset, perfect for fitness enthusiasts.

Lythmore is approached from the lane by an extensive driveway which provides ample parking for numerous cars and is ideal for those with boats and caravans etc. Directly in front of the bungalow is a delightful well designed garden, beautifully stocked with a variety of specimen plants and with a spacious terrace and sun room enjoying a wonderful southerly aspect. To the rear is a splendid level garden with spacious lawns which enjoy great privacy and provides plenty of space for growing fruit and vegetables and boasts some fine mature oak trees.

An excellent detached annexe provides very useful two bedroom accommodation and again is perfect for a relative or perhaps for letting.

Overall Lythmore offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire an incredibly spacious property with so many fine attributes in a peaceful yet convenient location and the owners sole agents have no hesitation in recommending early inspection.

DIRECTIONS

From the city centre, proceed up Pennsylvania Road passing Oriel Drive then look for some hatching on the road, virtually opposite Rosebarn Lane. Turn left here into a lane and Lythmore will be seen shortly along on the right hand side.
