Seller InsightWhen the present owners were looking for a new home they had one item on their wish list: the house had to be large enough to comfortably house three generations. This was a difficult task and they were thrilled to find Erriot Wood House, and the four adults involved immediately fell in love with it. The house is

situated on the outskirts of popular Lynsted village.

The location was a secondary consideration but the family quickly came to love the tranquillity and beauty of the rural setting, only a few minutes drive to the local primary school, shops and pub in Lynsted village. The village has a friendly and busy community life with a choice of clubs and societies. The pleasant towns of Sittingbourne and Faversham are nearby and the train station at Teynham has a fast and frequent service into London Victoria. The M2 is easily accessed, linking with major road networks.

Erriot Wood House began life as a small cottage approximately two hundred years ago, and was extended in the nineteen seventies. The present owners, working to exactingly high standards, have redesigned areas of the house, and the result is a stunning modern and chic home.

The hub of the house is the large kitchen, and in a family of very keen cooks it has excellent cooking facilities. The kitchen flows easily into the dining area, and this whole, fantastic space is drenched in natural light. It floods in through the patio doors in the kitchen, and the large bifolding doors on two sides of the dining room.

The dining extension was designed to blend house, and garden into a harmonious whole. Whatever the weather and season, closed windows frame delightful views to the garden making a delightful accompaniment to daily living. In summer, with the doors open, the garden is an outside living room.

The house is a real party pad, as the flexible floor plan allows the lounge, kitchen and dining room, to become one expansive space perfect for large scale events. The hallway is another large open area, and with a log burning stove giving a cosy feel, it is a favourite place to sit and relax.

It is also an incredibly practical home for a busy household, and there is an awareness of future needs of the older generation, with very shallow single steps from the house that could easily be converted into a slope. The house has readily accommodated its extended family.

The double bedrooms have superb views across the garden and countryside beyond, and it is possible to follow the sun round the house through the day. Set mainly to lawn, the garden is a place to settle under the shade of the magnolia tree and enjoy the peaceful, green surroundings. The log built office in the garden has been excellent for working from home and the good parking space makes it ideal for perhaps running a small business.

Erriot Wood House has provided a superb life style for the present owners who will miss living in such a lovely setting. It is a truly rare and serene property.


This very attractive country home sits on the fringes of the delightful village of Lynsted, which itself is nestled within the gentle northern slopes of the Kentish North Downs. The local village is centred around a beautiful church, village pub and duck pond.

Mainstream amenities are prevalent in nearby Faversham, Sittingbourne and in Lenham, which lies to the south. The surrounding countryside is simply stunning and much of being protected by its official status of being ‘An Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

The property itself has being superbly enhanced by a sympathetic extension and the conversion of its former loft space. It is now presented to the market as a large four/five bedroom family home with large reception areas - all enjoying a confident contemporary style.

For those family’s that may require schooling, Lynsted has its own primary school. Secondary schools and Grammar schools can be found in both Faversham and Sittingbourne. Commuting from Lynsted to the capital or coast is very convenient. The nearest motorway junction is approximately three miles distant and rail stations can be found in nearby Teynham, Faversham or Sittingbourne. Both latter stations also offer high speed services to London St Pancras.
