8 bedroom detached house

Compton Chase is an impressive unlisted
country house that offers over 7,600 sq. ft. of
charming accommodation across four floors
with a wealth of original features and excellent
potential for further refurbishment.
The double-fronted lead-windowed residence
with its raised position, handsome brick-built
chimneys and partial Kent peg tiled elevations is
accessed via steps up to the porch, which opens
to a bright reception hall and further entrance
space with dual stairways. The accommodation
flows to the elegant 27 ft. drawing room,
alongside which is the formal dining room and
26 ft. sitting room, all enjoying a multitude of
pleasant aspects, beamed ceilings and fine
brick-built feature fireplaces. Further is the
traditional kitchen/breakfast room with its
serving hatch, adjacent larder and utility room
and stairs to the cellar and wood store below.
Two cloakrooms, flower room and garden room
with bay window and bi-folding doors to the
terrace complete the ground floor facilities.
The capacious first floor with its wide landing
branches off onto six well-proportioned
bedrooms with far-reaching views served by
four family bathrooms, a shower room and a
laundry room. The second floor offers yet more
flexible spaces with a loft, store rooms and
games room.

The property sits in a generous wrap-around
countryside plot with uninterrupted views and
an array of mature trees. A sweeping circular in
and out driveway offers ample parking, with a
brick-built outbuilding providing a garage, large
tool store and adjacent workshop. The house
sits on an elevated terrace with an enviable
southerly position, with original stone steps
down to the expansive tiered lawned garden
interspersed with an array of shrubbery.
