Description

The origins of Lixton House goes back more than 200 years and this wonderful family home has been extensively refurbished and extended to a high standard with much thought and flair to provide an impressive country home.

Sympathetic improvements mean the house has maintained its original features yet provides all the benefits of modern living. The accommodation is remarkably spacious throughout and has been thoughtfully designed to capture the wonderful rural surroundings. A superb open plan layout on the ground floor works in perfect harmony with the outdoors with 2 sets of bifold doors and log burner opening out onto a substantial timber terrace. The kitchen area has been fitted with a comprehensive range of units incorporating an island and electric AGA and walk in pantry. On the ground floor is a separate sitting room with stone fireplace and log burner, utility room and cloakroom.
