Description
Chestnut House is a charming red-brick period farmhouse offering over 2,000 sq ft of bright, neutral accommodation with a range of character features, complemented by extensive grounds and practical outbuildings.
The ground floor offers three principal reception spaces, centred around an L-shaped open-plan kitchen and breakfast room. This sociable everyday living area features tiled flooring, wooden fitted units, integrated appliances and space for a family dining table. Double doors lead to the generous triple-aspect sitting room, which includes exposed brickwork, a woodburning stove and two sets of sliding glass doors filling the space with natural light and garden views.
Also on the ground floor is a private study suited to home working, together with a double bedroom that could alternatively serve as a snug or an additional study.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, including the spacious principal bedroom with mirrored built-in wardrobes, a vaulted ceiling and west-facing skylights, plus access to walk-in wardrobe. The landing also provides access to a family bathroom with both bathtub and separate shower.
The electronic gated access at the side leads to ample parking at the rear of the house. The west-facing gardens lie mainly behind the property and include a patio for al fresco dining, opening on to expansive lawns bordered by established hedgerows.
Two brick-built outbuildings, a double garage and a store, offer scope for development, subject to the necessary consents. There is also storage container and a polytunnel for growing produce and paddock beyond.
