AN OUTSTANDING EDWARDIAN FAMILY HOME WITH EXTENSIVE OUTBUILDINGS SET IN WONDERFUL GROUNDS OF ALMOST 7 ACRES ........

The Chestnuts is a most impressive and attractive Edwardian residence, enjoying an incredible amount of privacy and seclusion, within its outstanding grounds of about 6.8 acres. The Chestnuts has been sympathetically extended and tastefully enhanced and upgraded to an extremely good standard by the current owners, whilst retaining a great sense of charm and style and the characteristics of its period. Some of the particular noteworthy features, include the impressive open plan kitchen/breakfast room, which flows seamlessly
to the dining/games room and also to the family room – this area of the property is ideal for family living. The kitchen has been fitted to a superb standard and features a vaulted ceiling and a bright outlook with lovely views over the gardens. The drawing room is an elegant and substantial room, measuring 24ft x 17ft with a double aspect and a central wood burning stove. There are two further reception rooms to the ground floor and a utility room and cloakroom. To the first floor, the main bedroom has a dressing room and fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom with balcony. The second bedroom also has en-suite facilities, whilst there are two further double bedrooms served by a family bathroom. All of the rooms enjoy a fine and open outlook over the well-kept gardens and surrounding countryside.

The Chestnuts sits in an enviable position with delightful
views over its grounds and a great approach through electronic gates and a long driveway, which culminates in extensive parking and a turning facility in front of the house, and also provides access to the 4-car garage, which incorporates, in part, a garden studio with facilities. The gardens have been well maintained over the years, predominately laid to lawn with a variety of plants, shrubs and specimen trees and there is also an attractive pond. Adjacent to the property there is a substantial south facing sun terrace making for a delightful entertaining and seating area. The paddock enjoys a wonderfully unspoilt, scenic location, further to the south of the formal gardens, bound in part by woodland, and benefiting from secondary independent access adjacent to the primary access off Partridge Lane. To the east of the property there is a collection of outbuildings including a good-sized barn, a total of three stables plus garden store buildings and further detached garaging with adjacent potting room.
