"A home with a story to tell, beautifully written for the next generation"

A truly outstanding period farmhouse, dating back in parts to the 1800s and reputed to have once served as a nunnery, beautifully renovated and extended to create an exceptional five-bedroom family home with five bathrooms, detached self-contained annexe, landscaped private gardens and an enviable semi-rural setting in Rough Close.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Chestnut Farm is a truly exceptional period farmhouse, dating back to the 1800s and steeped in fascinating local history, with tradition suggesting the original building once served as a nunnery. Sympathetically extended over the years and comprehensively renovated by the current owners to an outstanding standard, this remarkable home effortlessly combines the charm and character of its heritage with the quality, comfort and practicality demanded by modern family living. Offering beautifully presented and highly versatile accommodation, together with a detached self-contained annexe, Chestnut Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable distinction in an idyllic semi-rural setting.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch, leading into a wonderfully cosy sitting room where exposed ceiling beams and an impressive multi-fuel stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere-the perfect place to relax beside the fire on a winter's evening. The sitting room flows seamlessly into the heart of the home: a magnificent breakfast kitchen, beautifully appointed with an extensive range of high-quality cabinetry, elegant quartz work surfaces and a substantial central island incorporating a breakfast bar. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances ensures the kitchen is as practical as it is stylish, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. A front porch and convenient ground floor WC are situated just beyond the kitchen.

Leading from the kitchen is a formal dining room, providing an elegant setting for family meals and special occasions, which in turn opens into a superbly proportioned lounge. This impressive reception room offers an abundance of space for entertaining guests or enjoying relaxed evenings with family. An inner hallway leads from the lounge to a generous double bedroom and a beautifully appointed family bathroom, creating a versatile section of the home ideal for guests or multi-generational living.

Occupying the opposite wing of the ground floor is an outstanding principal suite, thoughtfully designed to create a luxurious private retreat. The spacious bedroom connects to a stunning en-suite shower room via a striking double-sided fireplace, while a five-person sauna, powered by both infrared technology and traditional hot coals, provides the ultimate space for relaxation and wellbeing.

The first floor continues the exceptional standard of accommodation, offering three further generously proportioned double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own stylish en-suite shower room, ensuring every family member or guest enjoys comfort and privacy.

Externally, Chestnut Farm occupies a generous plot approached via electrically operated gates opening onto an extensive driveway providing ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles. To the rear, the beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a private and peaceful outdoor sanctuary. A paved patio provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, while manicured lawns and a gravelled seating terrace enjoy delightful views across the surrounding countryside, offering a wonderful backdrop throughout the seasons.

A particular feature of the property is the detached self-contained annexe, offering excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, independent living or potential holiday accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. The annexe comprises a comfortable living room, breakfast kitchen, double bedroom and shower room.
