The grounds come complete with garaging, outbuildings, and a gorgeous summer house with ensuite shower facilities, which could be suitable for a variety of uses.
The entrance hall provides access to all reception rooms and a traditional staircase rises to the first floor. Two symmetrical reception rooms are positioned to the front of the property, both with high ceilings, sash windows and stunning feature fireplaces. The dining room has a door leading through into the kitchen, which is positioned to the rear of the home, with a range of wooden units, space for appliances, and a built-in pantry cupboard.
To the rear of the entrance hall is the cloakroom and access to the cellar which has electricity connected, and an additional storage cupboard. The current owner uses the cellar as a workshop, but it has been used as a traditional wine cellar in the past. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the living room, positioned opposite the kitchen, a generous room a large fireplace and views out to the courtyard garden.
To the first-floor galleried landing are four well-proportioned bedrooms, some with feature fireplaces, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is located to the rear with an ensuite bathroom and separate dressing room with linen cupboard.
Outside
The property is approached via a shared driveway which leads to a gated entrance to the rear of Chase House, where there is private parking and a garage with electric up and over door. Gated side access from the shared driveway leads into the walled courtyard garden, where there is a paved terrace and pond. Separating the courtyard and formal gardens is the summer house with ensuite shower facilities, and outbuildings currently used for storage.
A wonderful stone archway leads you through to the wisteria covered pergola, where there is a path to the parking area and garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn. The gardens are stunning, with a wide variety of plants and vibrant colours throughout the seasons, surrounded by mature trees and borders. Tucked away at the end of the garden, steps lead up to an enclosed outdoor swimming pool and pump house, which are in need of repair. The condition of the property has been taken into consideration and this is reflected in the price.
