Winchester Road, Chawton

A substantial home in a secluded plot - Baytree House is set within a Conservation Area in the picturesque village of Chawton. Gated entrance, half an acre plot, outside covered pool, garaging, and expansive driveway.

This much-loved family home offers spacious room-sizes, handsome frontage, and scope to re-imagine the versatile living space. It's perfectly-placed for a stroll around the village, yet completely set back from passers-by.

The garden enjoys complete privacy and unspoilt sunsets from the west. It's framed with an attractive flint wall, and has a thatched garden room which catches the afternoon sun. The heated outdoor pool has a retractable perspex cover, so can be used all year round.

With six reception rooms, large kitchen, and plenty of parking, this home can accommodate the largest of families and social gatherings. With doors opening from each of the rooms which overlook the garden, this home offers a wonderful flow in the summer months.

The main family room is an impressive 24 ft x 19 ft, has a corner wood-burning stove, and enjoys natural light from sliding doors and large square bay windows. There's also a Jacobean-style oak bar with sink for drinks glasses - ideal for hosting parties, or family gatherings.

There's a formal dining room, study, breakfast room, living room with fireplace, and conservatory. The kitchen itself is a family space, with breakfast bar and classic Aga stove.

The upstairs layout is arranged to give the master suite exceptional space and privacy. The master bedroom is light-filled with double aspect windows, has a spacious five piece en-suite bathroom, and two dressing rooms.

Bedroom two also enjoys views over both the garden (with some lovely views) and also the secluded frontage of Baytree House. This room has a good range of fitted storage and an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four are good double sizes, and the family bathroom is close-by.

With two cloakrooms serving both entrances, a large utility room, and integral double garage with automatic doors, this home is very capable of handling busy family lives.
