Versatile family house with over 3,625 sq ft with rural views.
An impressive oak-framed and glazed entrance hall creates a striking first impression, setting the tone for the light-filled and spacious accommodation throughout. The elegant drawing room enjoys delightful views over the garden and features a characterful inglenook fireplace with an exposed brick hearth, providing a warm and inviting focal point.
The kitchen/breakfast room forms the true heart of the home, offering a wonderful sociable space with triple-aspect views. Beautifully appointed with limestone flooring, shaker-style cabinetry, and granite worktops, it also benefits from an Aga and a separate larder. French doors open directly onto the terrace, perfect for al fresco dining while taking in far-reaching views across the neighbouring paddock and open countryside.
A secondary sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove, also enjoys triple-aspect views and overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens that wrap around the property.
Upstairs, the well-proportioned double bedrooms each benefit from en suite facilities and enjoy stunning views across the surrounding fields, enhancing the property’s tranquil rural setting.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors, with a wing each side which offers exceptional flexibility, ideal for multi-generational living or the potential for separate guest wings, should this be desired.
Outside
The Old Dairy occupies an enviable position within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, set peacefully within the charming hamlet of Chute Forest. Quiet and secluded, the property offers a rare sense of privacy alongside its picturesque surroundings.
The property is approached via Lodge Lane, leading onto a gravel driveway that provides ample parking for several vehicles. To the front, a charming courtyard captures the morning sun, offering a delightful spot to sit and relax.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature borders and attractively planted with herbaceous shrubs. A more natural wild garden area extends beyond, leading to an outbuilding/garage which offers further potential, subject to the usual planning consents.
View payable Stamp Duty for this property
I love the versatility of this property and that it could potentially offer an incoming buyer the opportunity to benefit from additional income if desired.
