Description

This substantial detached home enjoys a discreet position in the hamlet of Chelvey and showcases a range of original features, including a beautifully preserved Victorian tiled hallway, sash windows with glazing bars, some with working shutters, intricate ceiling coving, open fireplaces, and flagstone floors.

Accommodation is well-balanced and arranged across three floors. The formal reception rooms are of generous proportions, with the drawing room and dining room benefitting from a southerly aspect and French doors opening onto the terrace and gardens. A sitting room lies to the front of the house, while a cellar provides excellent storage beneath the drawing room.

At the heart of the home is a recently fitted kitchen with a central island, substantial corner fridge/pantry, and a full range of appliances including an oven, hob and four-oven AGA. The adjoining flagstone hallway provides access to a cloakroom, while a rear hallway connects to a spacious conservatory, pantry, utility room, and boot room/store—all of which lead through to a covered parking area. On the first floor, a central landing leads to four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Each bedroom enjoys a picturesque countryside surrounding the home.

The second floor comprises two further bedrooms, a large games room and bathroom. The house is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and planting providing privacy and a serene outlook. There is parking for multiple vehicles and several useful outbuildings.
