North Street, Barrow upon Soar, LE12

Steeped in history, 'Chippindall House' owes its origins back to the 17th century with then further additions in 1820 and 1880 respectively.  It is a property of national historic importance with lieutenant Edward Chippendale giving the property its name as a serving British Army officer in the Crimean war.

From a personal perspective in 27 years of valuing property, this is one of the most remarkable generational homes that you occasionally find on the market.

There are insufficient superlatives to describe.... but we will give it a go!

Initially there is a front porch with main internal door having coloured and leaded panels, then the full grandeur of a beautifully retained Minton floor spans a magnificent nine mtrs and forms a horseshoe shape around the dining room.  The panelling within the dining room combines with the chimney breast and there are hidden secret compartments whilst the sitting room has a beautifully maintained fireplace with glazed tiled inserts on a lateral hearth with commanding mantelpiece.

The main reception has its own feature fireplace and panelling with a ceiling height of 3m 13cm further provides a feeling of light and space with a delightful bay window looking over the fore garden.

The kitchen is the oldest part of the house dating back to the 17th century, there is a quarry tiled floor, granite work surface with dual Belfast sink, then beyond this is the garden room which is open to interpretation with regards its use with Yorkshire sash windows in part and stairs up to the occasional room/store.  The garden room has a reclaimed cast iron radiator and its own access door.

From the inner hallway is a courtyard with access to the larder/utility room whilst off the main hallway is the ground floor wc/boot room whereby cupboards discreetly house the modern gas central heating boiler and pressurised hot water system.

At first floor the main bedroom is above the lounge, has a partially vaulted ceiling with a height of 3m 53cm approx, feature cast iron grate and a main bedroom befitting of such a home.

Adjacent is the potential bathroom (plumbing is in place) and this could be an en-suite if so desired.  Bedroom two is above the sitting room with a dual aspect and working sash windows, once more the fireplace acts as a reminder to the age of this part of the property.

The third double bedroom is located above the kitchen diner and has a decorative fireplace with Yorkshire sash window with views over the patio below.  There is a partially vaulted ceiling (2m 81cm) and a decorative cast iron grate.

The fourth double bedroom has a front aspect window with shutters fitted, feature inset fireplace with a simple surround (see floorplans for the full size of this room).

Finally at this level is the main bathroom which has contemporary easy access shower enclosure with large angle poised rain head shower and hand held shower fitments respectively served by the pressurised system below, circular wash hand basin with lever mixer tap and low level wc with dual flush capability.

With its own separate staircase above the garden room is an occasional room/store which has natural carpet and is open to interpretation with regards its use.

Outside double gates provide access to the off road car parking, adjacent there's a garage with pitched slate roof and timber doors.  Beyond the parking and patio is the private lawned garden with mature borders fully enclosed by majority brick and stone walling with natural hedge to the right hand elevation and lastly a timber decked section abuting the garden room to take in the afternoon sunshine.

The plot measures 0.16 of an acre.
