Dating back to 1705, Cheverells House is a distinguished 16th-century Grade II* Listed Queen Anne residence, carefully converted in 2002 into just ten exclusive country homes. Each retains unique period character while benefitting from modern finishes and beautifully maintained private grounds. Set across three floors, this elegant home offers the ideal countryside retreat, combining historic charm with contemporary comfort. It is perfectly suited for those looking to escape to the country, or for buyers seeking a convenient “lock up and leave” residence while spending part of the year overseas.

Upon entering through the communal lobby, a private door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, leading into a bright and airy formal sitting/dining room. This elegant space enjoys views across the front communal grounds and features an original open fireplace — ideal for cosy evenings or for hosting formal gatherings with family and friends.

From the sitting/dining room, a door opens onto the courtyard, which offers a tranquil outlook across the private communal gardens at the front of the estate.

Ascending from the entrance hall, stairs lead to the first-floor landing, providing access to the master suite, a third double bedroom, and a recently refitted ‘Jack & Jill’ four-piece en suite bathroom. The master bedroom is a delightful dual-aspect double, complemented by the en suite, which features a low-level W.C., pedestal wash hand basin, elegant walk-in shower, and a panelled bath — perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. The third bedroom is another generous double, offering versatile space that can serve as a bedroom or a home office, ideal for working from the comfort of home. From the first-floor landing, a further staircase leads to the second-floor landing, which provides access to the second double bedroom and a bathroom.
