A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial family home in the ever-popular village of Stratford Sub Castle. This modern, extended home boasts accommodation amounting to circa 3668 Sq. Ft (inc garaging and studio) and is set in circa an acre of gorgeous gardens and grounds.

Built approximately 7 years ago, 2 Chancellors Farm was created to provide the ultimate in luxury living and be the perfect modern family home with a great deal of thought and care being lavished on the design and finish. The accommodation is beautifully arranged with vast windows and glazed doors providing an abundance of light. The gardens and grounds form an ever-changing backdrop. The house prioritises quality, comfort and function with exceptional attention to the details of practical contemporary family living.

The front door opens onto a entrance lobby with a feature staircase providing access to the first floor. The eye is first drawn to a glorious wall of glass at the far end of the house through which there are glorious views across the garden towards the meadows beyond. To the right there is a snug and study which is large enough to allow two people to work in comfort. In addition, there is a luxury cloakroom.

Spanning the rear and side of the home is a deeply impressive, recently extended kitchen, dining and sitting room that has been carefully designed around its views across the garden. This seamless space provides unrivalled flexibility and is large enough for expansive entertaining while being easily zoned to provide more intimate and individual living areas. Naturally, there is a choice of formal as well as informal dining and seating areas. Much of the living space opens onto a paved terrace and there is a real sense of bringing the outside in. The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to suit avid cooks. The vast 4.2 metre island is the central point that the kitchen area radiates from, the perfect cooking and entertaining space. The kitchen is superbly appointed with Thunder Blue quartz work tops, aged copper splash backs, Siemens appliances including two ovens, induction hob, red and white wine fridges, larder cupboards, ample storage and two dishwashers. Beyond is the substantial dining area. An Odin Tunnel suspended log burner separates the sitting area from the dining area. A fully fitted utility room completes the ground floor accommodation.

The upstairs incorporates five double bedrooms. The master suite is a truly exceptional room with dual windows that provide staggering views across the neighbouring gardens, grounds and meadows beyond and also includes an impressive walk in dressing room and en-suite shower room. There is then a en-suite guest room. The remaining three bedrooms are serviced by a sizeable family bathroom.
In addition there is the architectural “Hobbit House” office/studio that is half tucked under a wave of turf and has a heat pump air conditioning system, power, and Cat 5 internet.

Care has been taken to ensure that the property is fitted with the latest technologies including heating and water controlled via “Hive” system, 4.8kw Solar array registered with government FIT and providing income and Tesla V2 13kw Battery system.

It is very rare that houses of this design and specification in this location are available and we highly recommend a viewing of your next 'forever home'. The whole property leaves a wonderful long lasting impression.
