Description

Available For Sale, for the first time in 29 years is this remarkable and unique plot. 2 separate dwellings are for sale, the main house and on a separate deed, a 1 bedroom cottage with open plan lounge/kitchen/diner and bathroom.

The property is situated in a desirable location in Chiddingly village, with stunning and unparalleled 360* views. It combines modern, sophisticated living with timeless character and undoubted appeal. It has been skillfully and subtly enhanced to offer a blend of contemporary comfort and period charm, beautiful entertaining spaces, with exposed timber beams and original fireplaces, entwined in stylish fixtures and fittings, all in a majestic layout.

The glorious spacious main house includes a triple aspect sitting room with vaulted ceilings, a stunning brick-built fireplace, and two sets of French doors opening to the gardens. The formal dining room boasts an ornate cast-iron fireplace, while the snug has brick flooring and another wood burning stove, creating a perfect space for relaxation. A well-proportioned study makes working from home a very convenient option. The heart of the home is the impressive 23ft kitchen, equipped with fitted units, a butler sink, a range cooker, and a Rayburn, along with a utility room, and a ground floor cloakroom. Upstairs, the main bedroom features built-in storage and an en-suite shower room, while three additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.

Adjacent to the main house is a self-contained cottage, offering a charming living space with a sleek modern open-plan kitchen/sitting room, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a beautifully arranged shower room, with quality sanitary ware.

For those working from home or in need of additional space, the garden studio has been cleverly divided into two offices, both with light, power, and storage, ideal for a productive workspace. There is an EV charging point too.

For those who are looking for additional environmental attributes there are 8kw of photovoltaic with batteries and planning permission for a further 8kw ground mounted photovoltaic array.

The property also includes a detached barn with a large mezzanine floor, perfect for storage or perhaps a conversion into additional living space (subject to planning permission), it offers ample room for a variety of uses. These detached dwellings could be used as studios, offices, a home for an au pair, a summer house, a teenager's den, or a 'granny annexe'.

The property is surrounded by beautiful gardens, in a truly sumptuous setting, with paddocks extending to 1.46 acres, offering a peaceful and idyllic setting. There are extensive lawns, established shrubs and trees. A summer house provides a relaxing retreat, while the paved terracing is perfect for alfresco dining. A viewing platform behind the summer house offers sweeping views over The Paddocks and is a wonderful spot to enjoy the rising sun. At the entrance, gates open onto a private driveway, providing ample parking and access to a particularly large car port, which includes another EV charging point.
