A charming Victorian character home with five bedrooms situated within very private, mature gardens
16 Chapel Road is a detached family home originally built in 1870 and later extended in the 1970s and 1990s to create a well-proportioned residence of more than 2800 sq ft. The house has been elegantly and traditionally appointed to create a stylish home with the décor beautifully complementing the age and character of the house, featuring exposed beams, a vast brick fireplace with modern wood-burning stove, and further original fireplaces. Most notable are the generous proportions of the house, including a double-height ceiling in the snug and a very spacious principal bedroom with dressing room and an en suite with twin vanity. The accommodation is well suited to large or growing families and has excellent flow, many of the rooms have individual views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.
The ground floor has a number of access points from both the driveway and the gardens, with the main entrance via an external porch onto the formal dining room. This leads to a large sitting room, study, open plan kitchen/dining room complete with AGA, a family room, a utility room and a cloakroom with WC. There are two separate staircases to the first floor, providing private access to the principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite, four further bedrooms and a generous family bathroom.
The house is set well back from the road in a very private setting surrounded by mature trees, in a generous plot which includes a gated gravel driveway and ample off-street parking, a patio to the rear which a feature well', a large lawn bordered by seating areas and flowerbeds and a vegetable garden with a shed and greenhouse. There is also the added benefit of an attached single garage.
