Under the current owners, Cheynes House has undergone significant renovations, including a complete overhaul of the kitchen/breakfast room to create a modern open-plan space, as well as a comprehensive redesign of the principal bedroom's ensuite bathroom.

Notably, the house features a stunning panelled dining room, an impressive drawing room that offers picturesque views of the gorgeous garden and grounds, and a top-floor billiard room and bar ideal for relaxing and entertaining.
