Beautifully presented Grade II listed five bedroom home in attractive gardens.

Description

Chequer Tree Farmhouse is a delightful Grade II listed property which is believed to date back to the 17th century, with later alterations and additions and set well back from the road, screened by a mature laurel hedging and lawned front gardens.

This lovely home has been sympathetically refurbished and currently offers over 3,000 sq ft of internal accommodation.

This property is very well presented internally and offers flexible family accommodation over three floors with a wealth of exposed oak beams and timbers, bespoke drop latch doors and travertine and engineered wood flooring to a number of rooms.

Reception rooms include a dining room, a family room and a lovely sitting room with triple aspect, inglenook fireplace and doors to the garden. The kitchen has a good range of painted wooden cupboards by Rencraft and various appliances. It is open to the pretty breakfast area with fireplace and wood burning stove. A door leads to the rear hall off which is a utility room with integral appliances and a shower room.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms together with a family bathroom with contemporary white white sanitary ware and separate WC. A staircase leads to the substantial attic bedroom five, currently used as a home office/ TV room. Also on this floor there is a stylishly fitted bathroom with freestanding bath.

Chequer Tree Farmhouse is accessed via timber gates which open to a gravel drive providing plenty of parking and access to a detached double garage with power and light connected.
The well established level gardens surround the house and are a lovely feature of the property being mainly laid to lawn with mature shrub borders and a variety of fruit trees.
