HOUSE
The handsome and substantial Chieveley House is in the heart of the village of Little Coxwell. Built in 1800 of brick and stone, it is a fine example of a grade II listed village house, with traditional sash windows and a slate roof. It was described by Pevsner as ‘a compact hipped-roofed dolls' house'. Further additions were made to provide a rear entrance hall and conservatory overlooking the walled garden.
The roadside facade is gloriously covered in a luxuriant floral creeper and the beautiful walled garden is framed by mature shrubs and trees.

Chieveley House offers the size and scope for an exciting improvement and remodelling project. The land and stables would also be ideal for an equestrian enthusiast. The house is approached through electric wrought iron gates leading on to a gravel drive with parking for several cars and two covered bays in the carriage house. A side door leads into the light and very spacious rear entrance hall with oak floorboards and large windows overlooking the garden.

To the right, the original entrance hall and staircase leads onto a dual aspect drawing room with elegant marble fireplace and large, shuttered sash window. The hallway winds around to a snug with an open fire and then to the formal dining room with parquet flooring and high ceilings. Each of these front rooms have an authentic ambience enhanced by the large shuttered sash windows.

The kitchen and cloak room are conveniently accessed both from the dining room and the rear entrance hallway. The centrepiece of the country style kitchen is the lovely Aga. The terracotta tiled flooring gives the room a warm and homely feel. A step from the kitchen, the breakfast room is filled by a panoramic window seat with a mesmerising view of the walled garden and local wildlife. The breakfast room leads to a traditional and impressive conservatory with further striking views of the garden and on the other side, to a utility and boot room with direct access to the garden and terrace.

FIRST FLOOR
The principal bedroom suite lies at the western end of the house. It has an original fireplace, ample storage and a spacious bathroom. There are a further two double bedrooms, a shower room and the staircase to the second floor. Steps then lead down to a mid-level double bedroom suite overlooking the garden with its own staircase to the kitchen, a separate toilet and bathroom.

SECOND FLOOR
The bright second floor offers a further 3 double bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom and extra storage cupboards.

OUTBUILDINGS
The stone and brick built L-shaped carriage house and stables mirror the style and scale of Chieveley House. As well as offering generous parking and storage, they have huge potential for development subject to planning. There are 5 good-sized loose boxes and a further stone, 3 bay open barn in the paddock beyond with yard.

GARDENS AND LAND
Chieveley House overlooks its own land including a beautiful stone-walled country garden, laid to lawn and bordered with mature shrubs, flowers and wisteria covered arches. There is a stone terrace that runs along the length of the rear extension and a water well. The tree-lined paddocks are ideally suited to livestock or equestrian use. Laid to pasture they have large wooden gates, post and rail fencing and water supply. The centre paddock features a disused menage which could be refurbished or become a useful winter turn out area. General information Chieveley House and the buildings within its curtilage are Grade II listed. The house and garden also sit within the Little Coxwell Conservation Area. The paddocks and land are not within the conservation area.
