The house itself displays many fine timbers and offers two principal reception rooms and a study/snug, together with a traditional AGA farmhouse kitchen with service rooms beyond. There are four bedrooms and a bathroom and en suite shower room on the first floor, with a double attic room above.
THE BARNS
The Chestnuts has retained its original range of timber framed barns, which have been refurbished to provide flexibility of use to suit the needs of a purchaser. One has been formalised and is currently used as an office/games room. There are secure equipment stores and stables, a large multi-purpose barn, together with open fronted cart lodge garages, all of which are arranged around a service yard. Beyond is a sheltered heated swimming pool and a more modern insulated workshop barn.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Five bar gates access twin driveways which sweep to the front of the house with a third entrance running to the side of the house to access the barns. The formal gardens blend into more open grounds and there are numerous trees and an attractive pond, together with a productive fruit cage and kitchen garden.
