Chantry near Frome

1 The Old School House in Chantry is one of five dwellings that make up the original house dating from 1842. Approached via an attractive driveway sheltered under a canopy of picturesque mature trees. The house, Grade II listed, was initially renovated in 1985 and, after several further upgrades, now offers contemporary accommodation laid out over four floors. It allows for the opportunity to live in a peaceful community whilst retaining one’s privacy in beautiful private gardens.

The front door is accessed via pretty stone steps and opens to the upper ground floor featuring a stylish study/fourth bedroom, an elegant sitting room, and a cloakroom. Natural light pours into both reception rooms through some fine period windows, oak beams grace the ceiling in the sitting room and built in shelving enhances the study. A sleek, modern, multifuel/wood burner lends a touch of luxury. Stairs lead to the lower ground floor and to a magnificent kitchen dining living space that occupies the whole floor. Natural slate floors underfoot, bespoke units, a double butler sink, and beech worktops blend seamlessly together to create a fabulous communal hub to the house. An integral dishwasher, washing machine, fan oven and induction hob afford every amenity in a thoroughly modern kitchen.

On the first floor and via a chic and modern staircase, are two tastefully furnished bedrooms (one with built in wardrobes) and a fabulous wet room replete with a free-standing bathtub, a walk in shower and an array of high end fixtures and fittings.
Occupying the whole of the second floor is a fantastic attic space forming the main bedroom and an en-suite WC. Set in the eaves of the house and below some magnificent oak beams, this room is truly delightful and features a striking, original, stone arched window that hints at bygone years and a rich history.

Outside
The private gardens are simply beautiful and feature an abundance of mature shrubs, fruit trees and a well-manicured lawn. A pretty stone terrace provides ample opportunity for outside dining and entertaining on a summer’s evening. There are also extensive immaculately kept communal grounds with a small wooded area. There is an air of peace and tranquillity in this unusually pretty location and it is ideal for children to play safely making dens and climbing trees. Close by there is garaging for one car and two further private parking spaces.

Other
There is a management company run by the residents that maintains the communal areas of the property and there is a monthly fee of £35.
It should be noted that there is a right of access around the side and back of the house for some of the residents of the other houses although this is rarely used.
