An immaculate Regency house, with separate guest cottage, set in beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds at the foothills of the Quantocks AONB.
Cheddon Corner dates from the early 19th Century and has been meticulously restored and modernised by the present owners in recent years, to create an spacious and comfortable family home, with a versatile layout suitable for entertaining on a grand scale. With accommodation over three floors, the main house extends to about 5,897 sq ft. It is understood that the property once belonged to the Portman Estate, originally built for the estate manager of the nearby Hestercombe House.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a fine selection of reception rooms and an exquisite kitchen, with glazed breakfast room area leading onto a balcony overlooking the gardens. There is also a utility room/laundry, boot room and WC on this level. On the lower ground floor, there is a studio/gym two further reception rooms, two bedrooms (1 en suite), a bathroom, wine cellar and a kitchen. With independent access, this area could be self-contained if required.
The first floor comprises five double bedrooms (2 ensuite) and a family bathroom. The spectacular principal suite has a wood burner, dressing area and en suite bathroom. In addition to the accommodation in the main house, there is a separate guest/staff cottage, which could generate an income through holiday lets if required.
Outside, the house is approached via electric gates, which lead to a substantial driveway in front of the house, and on past the side of the house to a courtyard with selection of traditional outbuildings providing garaging, storage and workshop space, beyond which is a walled garden with heated outdoor swimming pool.
There is also a walled kitchen garden, with a series of paths separating a variety of cut flower and rose beds, fruit trees, vegetable plots, a central water fountain. There is a greenhouse with potting shed and store running along the south facing wall. To the south and east of the house and buildings, there are extensive level lawns, an orchard and impressive selection of mature trees and herbaceous borders. A small stream runs along the property's north eastern boundary.
