Nestled in the quaint hamlet of West Lavington on the fringes of Midhurst, you will find the beautiful Bayswood. Sitting proudly in 0.644 of an acre it occupies a prime position in this semi-rural idyll. A practical family home with French flair embedded in its style and infused into every room. The plethora of rooms on offer are laid out to make the most of the space on offer, the enviable situation and the glorious outlook.
From the moment you step through the porch into the impressive dining hall, you get a real sense of what’s to come and a feeling of ‘home’. This is a property that has been loved and well maintained over the decades, with many happy memories made and many more to come. The dining hall is formal, yet homely, a space to be enjoyed for seasonal family gatherings and creates a warm welcoming space for guests and loved ones as they arrive. The sitting room is a lovely example of comfortable simplicity, with large windows allowing natural light to flood in. Taking centre stage is the woodburning stove with it’s wonderful marble surround and the door to the decked patio area, allows this space to be enjoyed in all seasons. The heart of this home is undoubtedly the open plan kitchen and family room, with it’s cosy log burner, snug and dining area. The kitchen area is well equipped with clever storage cupboards, built in appliances, granite worktops and unique maple wall and floor units, completely in keeping with the style of this fabulous home. We love the open plan aspect to this space, which flows seamlessly towards the French doors leading to the conservatory and out to the garden.
Bayswood ticks many boxes on a practical level, with a downstairs cloakroom and study offering the flexibility to be used as a home office or playroom. There is an abundance of storage both upstairs and down for neatly housing, much needed items or all important coats and boots after rambling local walks.
The beautifully calm French décor continues upstairs, with every room flooded with natural light. The principal bedroom boasts an elegant en-suite shower room, as well as, double built in wardrobes framing the pretty pine built in dressing table. The two further double bedrooms also enjoy the picturesque views over the expanse of front garden and the single bedroom offers the flexibility to be used as a nursery or home office, should you so wish. Big bathrooms are also a necessity in family homes and this one does not disappoint, plucked from a boutique hotel with neutral granite tiling this space offers a sense of calm to relax after a busy week or liven the senses at the start of a busy day.
Outside
Like the inside the outside of this property does not disappoint. Tucked away on Church Road, Bayswood is approached across the tarmac drive providing parking for several cars, space for scooters and bikes and hemmed with deciduous hedging and post and rail fencing. To the rear of the house is the quintessential country garden, a low maintenance oasis with decked area for BBQs on balmy nights. There is a plethora of outbuildings for an array of uses including stable and shed and a tranquil raised pond with water feature, vying to be heard over the deafening bird song. The paddock can be found tucked away, giving the opportunity to keep small livestock, a pony or simply enjoy a game of competitive family football. The raised vegetable borders can be nurtured to your hearts desire if the Good Life is on the cards for you.
