House For Sale £2,150,000
A stylish and beautifully presented character home in a very convenient tucked away position
Description
Cheyne House is a most striking and well loved family home believed to have been built circa 1923. The property is a wonderful mix of classic period character, brought right up to date by the current owners to provide stylish and adaptable accommodation.
The presentation throughout is modern, with a crisp neutral colour scheme and quality fixtures and fittings including underfloor heating, a pressurised hot water system and CAT5 cabling. The rooms are light and spacious, enhanced by high ceilings and large windows, with most enjoying an outlook over the garden.
The living space is particularly noteworthy, comprising an open plan bespoke fitted kitchen/breakfast room, complete with an Aga opening through to a large hard wood conservatory to the rear, where the exceptional garden can be enjoyed the whole year round.
The reception rooms are characterful and comfortable with a lovely outlook to the front through bay windows, an open fireplace in the snug, a contemporary wall-mounted gas fire in the sitting room and a separate study providing ample space for home working.
Four individual bedrooms on the first floor include a generously-proportioned principal suite with bath/shower room and a walk-in dressing room and a guest bedroom tucked away at the back with a stylish en suite bathroom.
The second floor provides excellent further private space with a large bedroom, shower room, fitted cupboards and an alcove suitable for use as a small study or possibly a kitchenette.
The part-walled garden is a wonderful feature, offering lovely sheltered space with a high degree of privacy and surrounding the house to all sides with mixed hedging and trees to the boundaries.
There is a westerly aspect to the rear, clipped box hedging, established trees and shrubs providing year round colour, areas of lawn, a parterre-style red brick terrace and a large decked swimming pool area accessible from the conservatory providing wonderful space for entertaining. The area to the front has a park-like feel with a stunning copper beech tree and large level lawn.
The approach to the house is impressive, with traditional-style electric entrance gates from the road leading to a long tree-lined driveway with ample parking and turning space, together with a detached garage at the end and a path leading to a flagstone forecourt and an attractive canopied front entrance.
