Description

Nestled within approximately three acres of beautifully established grounds in the highly sought-after hamlet of Chegworth, this charming early Victorian detached Coach House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and exquisitely presented family home in an idyllic semi-rural setting.

Chegworth itself is steeped in history, occupying a picturesque wooded valley along the renowned Greensand Way. The hamlet's origins are closely linked to the historic Chegworth Manor Estate, whose original manor house dates back to the early 15th century. Originally believed to have been constructed around 1840 as part of the estate, the Coach House was sympathetically converted into a residence during the late 1990s and has since been meticulously maintained and enhanced.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of improvements, transforming this into the outstanding home found today. Guided by the owner's engineering expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality, every aspect of the property has been thoughtfully considered and carefully executed. The result is a bespoke family home that seamlessly combines timeless character with modern comfort, practicality and style.

Throughout the property, high-quality fixtures and fittings have been selected with both longevity and elegance in mind, creating beautifully balanced living spaces that are as functional as they are impressive. The attention to detail is evident at every turn, delivering a tranquil and refined environment perfectly suited to modern family life.

Offering a wonderful blend of history, craftsmanship and contemporary living in one of the area's most desirable locations, this remarkable home is sure to attract significant interest. An early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, setting and lifestyle on offer.
