The Property Lynstead House is an exceptional property, built in 1901 at the start of the Edwardian era, it’s spacious rooms retain many original features and notable points of interest with handsome moulded cornices, deep skirtings and a collection of simply stunning fireplaces. This family house has been utilised over the last century as a children’s home and latterly a school nursery, however the current owners have lavishly refurbished it and restored its grandeur. The impressive accommodation is arranged over three floors with the additional benefit of a basement. A glazed vestibule leads into a welcoming hallway with lovely Encaustic tiling and a striking wide turned staircase. All the principal rooms are accessed from the hall and have wood-burning stoves. To the left are two very fine rooms, each with their individual character. The room to the

front is bright and sunny and has double doors leading through to a very useful conservatory with views over the rear garden. The room to the rear is elegant and sophisticated with double doors onto the patio. The dining room leading off to the right, is generously proportioned with a door leading through the scullery to a more contemporary breakfast room. This bright room has lovely views through double doors out onto the garden. There is also a cloakroom and utility to one side. The newly fitted kitchen has a comprehensive range of cupboards with a hatch through to the dining room. Unusually for a private house there is a personal lift from the hall to the first floor. The generous landing is bathed in light from a large oriel window. At this level there are five bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms and a further family bathroom. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms, each with a shower room.

Outside Lynstead House is a significant property placed at a high point in Walmer facing the local cricket pitch. The property is set back from the road and approached via a large paved in and out driveway. To one side is a detached one bedroom annexe and behind high gates lie two garages, a carport and brick outbuilding, all set around a courtyard. The professionally landscaped gardens form a series of rooms and are an absolute delight, creating a wonderful setting for the house. A patio with inset rose garden leads to a clematis and rose clad walkway of lavender. A large area of lawn is intersected with box tree lined pathways leading to individually characterised gardens. An ornamental pond is surrounded by herbaceous beds and espalier wisteria with ionic columns at one end. In one corner is an enclosed contemplative garden; almost a secret garden hidden by clipped yew hedging. From here pathways lead to a wonderful kitchen garden and back to the courtyard. A private bore hole provides irrigation.
