Accommodation

Ground Floor

On entering Chestnut Farmhouse, you are welcomed by a generous reception hallway, setting the tone for the space and character that runs throughout this exceptional home. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the breakfast kitchen, conservatory/garden room, and guest cloakroom.

The conservatory is perfectly positioned to overlook the walled garden, with French doors opening directly onto the terrace. Bathed in natural light, it provides a delightful setting for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing, while also offering convenient access to the laundry room with additional storage.

At the heart of the home lies the impressive kitchen, thoughtfully designed around a central island with breakfast bar. An extensive range of integrated appliances makes the space as practical as it is stylish, while dual-aspect windows flood the room with light and provide views over both the driveway and gardens. The kitchen connects seamlessly into a central hallway, a striking feature of the property with its two staircases—allowing easy navigation across all three floors, while offering versatile layouts that lend themselves perfectly to multigenerational living.

The hallway also gives access to a useful half cellar, a large guest cloakroom/boot room, and doors leading directly to both the garden and driveway. From here, you are drawn into two elegant reception rooms: a beautifully proportioned sitting room, centred around a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove and complemented by a charming window seat overlooking the garden, and a more intimate snug.

The snug forms the first of three wonderfully flexible lifestyle rooms, which together create a suite of spaces adaptable to any need. Whether used as a second sitting room, an extension to an annexe, or enjoyed as an office and a home gym, this area offers endless opportunities to tailor the property to modern family life.

First Floor / Second Floor

The first staircase rises to a light-filled landing, giving access to both the principal suite and a generous second bedroom, before continuing upwards to the second floor. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive space, enjoying a dual aspect and flowing into a rear lobby that connects seamlessly with a large dressing room and a private en suite. This rear lobby also links to the secondary first-floor landing, creating a natural connection between both staircases and enhancing the versatility of the layout.

The second bedroom is equally appealing, with the added benefit of direct access to the same rear landing. From here, a further dressing room and a beautifully appointed family bathroom can be reached, ensuring both practicality and comfort for family life or visiting guests.

Second Floor

The first staircase continues to the second floor, where a landing gives access to two generously proportioned bedrooms set to the front of the house, as well as a connecting door through to the rear landing and second staircase. From here, further accommodation unfolds, including a third bedroom which opens into a spacious additional room—an ideal private retreat for a teenager, studio, or hobby space. A fourth bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom complete this level, which, like the rest of the home, offers outstanding flexibility for a growing family or those seeking versatile spaces tailored to modern living.

Outside

Chestnut Farmhouse is set within a mature and private plot, offering a wonderful sense of seclusion whilst occupying a prime position in the heart of Farndon village.
Approached through electric gates, the property is introduced by a sweeping driveway which provides ample parking and access to the garage. From here, three separate entrance points lead into the residence, a particularly versatile feature that allows part of the accommodation to be enjoyed independently of the main house—ideal for use as a home office, guest suite, or annexe, perfectly suited to multigenerational living.

One of the standout features of Chestnut Farmhouse is its magnificent walled garden, laid mainly to lawn and enjoying a desirable south-westerly aspect. A generous terrace extends across the rear of the property, seamlessly accessed from the conservatory/garden room, providing the perfect setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.

This delightful garden truly offers something for everyone—whether it be a secure and private space for children to play, ample room for pets, opportunities for the keen gardener with a greenhouse and space to cultivate, or simply a peaceful retreat in which to relax and unwind.
