    About this property

    • Dating back to about 1908, Charlewood is a fine Edwardian house, striking in appearance and privately set within established grounds.

      The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with impressive formal reception rooms looking out to the southerly side, either side of an impressive spacious reception hall. This is a fine room, opening out to the gardens and with a turn-staircase rising up to the first floor accommodation, featuring a tall window over the half landing.

      In addition to the stairs, there is also a lift to the first floor.

      Notable features in the reception areas include large bay windows overlooking the gardens, and high ceilings with decorative mouldings, fireplaces, oak flooring and oak panelling.

      The bespoke hand-painted kitchen/breakfast room has painted wooden units with wood, marble and tiled surfaces, as well as tiled flooring, centred around a recessed Falcon gas range cooker. This in turn leads through to the large garden/family room, creating attractive informal space, ideal for modern day living.

      In additional to the main accommodation, there is a flexible first floor annexe with its own front door. This can be expanded into the ground floor to make it even more spacious, if desired.

      The gardens and grounds are a real feature of the property, with mature hedging and rhododendrons to the boundaries and an impressive treelined approach drive behind the entrance gates. The formal lawns and extensive planting lie immediately behind the house and are laid-out and divided by shingled pathways, together with an orchard and a paddock beyond, which has its own access to the drive, the cottage garden, greenhouses, planted areas and two large garden sheds.

      The separate Lodge Cottage is very well presented and is available by separate negation at a guide price of £300,000. This property has a discreet area of garden and parking by the main gates to the house, with an apple orchard and further screening from the gardens and main house.
      The existing lodge contains asbestos within its structure, with a professional report confirming that no action is required, other than to manage the risk, including ongoing monitoring.
      However, planning permission is now confirmed, to allow redevelopment of the lodge as a separate dwelling, as a new build property, so it can be sold separately- Planning Ref:2025/958

    A gem of a mini country estate, with so much to like, but with its position right at the top of the list for me.
