Description
Description
Chestnut House is an impressive and substantial detached residence providing more than 6,000 square feet of refined living and entertaining space, with bespoke fittings and distinctive interior styling.
A magnificent reception hall creates a striking first impression, featuring a grand central staircase, galleried landing and ornate crystal chandelier. Arched openings on either side lead into the approx. 59ft kitchen and family room, forming a dramatic open-plan social hub at the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with expertly crafted units, a central island, marble worktops, integrated appliances and a breakfast table with banquette seating, while the family area includes patterned wallpaper, a built-in fish tank and a sleek recessed fireplace.
Four further elegant and spacious reception rooms provide excellent versatility. These include a formal dining room and a sitting room at the front, both with refined lighting, while to the rear the snooker room features a ceiling lantern, panelled walls and bi-fold doors opening to the garden. A vaulted bar room with French doors and a fitted bar completes the entertaining space.
The sweeping split staircase rises to a galleried first-floor landing leading to four generous double bedrooms. The principal suite incorporates an opulent dressing room, walk-in wardrobe and spa-style en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and rainfall shower. One additional bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the remaining two share a Jack and Jill bathroom with bath and walk-in shower.
Security gates open on to a driveway with border lighting that curves to an ample parking area in front of the house and continues to the detached triple garage at the side, which incorporates a home gym on the first floor.
The wrap-around landscaped gardens are enclosed by well-maintained hedgerows and feature sweeping lawns, a spacious patio with an outdoor kitchen beneath a gazebo accompanied by a dedicated BBQ area, an ideal entertaining space. The grounds also include a pond equipped with filtration systems, and a timber deck with a woodfired hot tub shaded by a pergola.
