This impressive Grade II Listed link-detached house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled at the end of a tranquil, no-through country lane, the property sits on approximately 8.27 acres of land, offering both privacy and potential.
Believed to have been in the same family for over a century, this home showcases a striking Georgian façade characterized by its symmetrical design, central front door, and large sash windows that frame picturesque views of the surrounding pastureland. Inside, a spacious central hallway leads to generously sized sitting and dining rooms, both featuring tall ceilings and fireplaces that add to the home’s charm. The interior boasts an older cross-passage farmhouse area with characterful exposed beams and traditional flooring materials such as flagstone and quarry tiles.
The kitchen/breakfast room retains its original layout and includes an oil-fired AGA alongside modern appliances, providing a solid foundation for culinary creativity. Adjacent is a utility/boot room with access to an outdoor veranda. An additional office or sitting room on the ground floor features an inglenook fireplace and overlooks the kitchen garden, enhancing its multifunctional appeal.
The first floor accommodates six bedrooms—five doubles and one single—offering ample space for families or guests. Notably, the principal bedrooms are spacious with lovely views over farmland. The property also includes two bathrooms on this level.
Flexibility is key with this property; one section has previously served as a self-contained two-bedroom holiday let with its own entrance, making it suitable for guests or as an annexe for multigenerational living. This adaptable configuration allows for various uses depending on your needs.
Outside, the expansive grounds include neatly maintained gardens, parking for multiple vehicles, and several outbuildings—such as a double garage, barn/workshop, stables, and other structures—that present opportunities for various applications from farming to hobbies or further development (subject to planning permissions).
Chalcott's combination of historical significance and renovation potential makes it an exciting prospect for those looking to invest in a unique property steeped in character while providing ample outdoor space in a serene location. With thoughtful updates, this could become either a tranquil family home or a lucrative rental investment in today's market.
