About this property

Proffitt and Holt have the pleasure of marketing this rarely available Georgian detached home, in a picturesque setting in the heart of Chipperfield, yet offering complete seclusion.

The main house dates back to 1815, with parts going back as far as the 17th Century. Having been left to become a little neglected, the current owners undertook a full renovation of the house and have taken special care to retain the original features of the property, whilst also making it suitable for modern living.

The ground floor boasts a large and welcoming entrance hall and snug, which takes you through to a formal sitting room, with dual aspect bay windows and double doors out to an attractive veranda. As you head to the rear of the house, it opens up to an expansive kitchen, living and dining room. This lovely bright space has dual aspect windows and a row of bi-folding doors along the rear, all of which make the most of the wonderful views of the garden. There is also a utility room with large skylight, guest cloakroom, as well as a ground floor bedroom with en-suite that has the potential to create a self-contained annexe.

A bespoke wooden staircase takes you to the first floor, with a galleried landing that leads to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master suite offers stunning views from the dual aspect bay windows, whilst also boasts a dressing room and en-suite, complete with walk-in shower and his and hers sinks. The second bedroom also boasts fitted wardrobes and a high specification en-suite shower room with a stylish curved wall. The further two double bedrooms are both dual aspect, with fantastic views over the gardens.

Externally, the property excels. Sitting on a plot of just short of an acre, the rear garden surrounds the house with a mixture of manicured lawns, established borders and well thought out seating areas. It also offers a more practical side, with vegetable garden, greenhouse and a quirky summerhouse known as 'The Beach House'. The carriage driveway covers the full width of the plot and offers an abundance of parking both in front of the house for convenience, or tucked away with the double length garage to leave the front of the house unobscured.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality and setting of this outstanding period home.
