Property description

A Grade II listed detached property dating from the 16th century with linked ancillary accommodation and outbuildings, a gated gravelled driveway, and front and rear gardens.

Chinner House extends to in excess of 4,000 sq. ft. with accommodation arranged over three floors including, in the main house, an entrance hall with the staircase and a cloakroom, separate sitting, dining, and family rooms and a garden room. There is also a kitchen/breakfast room with an adjacent utility room, and a downstairs bathroom. The staircase continues up to the first and second floors. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom lead off the first floor landing and a further landing on the second floor accesses a fourth bedroom. Accessed from its own front door or via the garden room is a self-contained annexe or guest wing for the main house. It has independent kitchen/dining and seating areas, a vaulted first floor bedroom and a ground floor shower room. Alternatively, this space lends itself to being a home office, a games room, a gym or for other ancillary uses to the main house.

Reception Rooms and Kitchen

The property retains many period features including mullion windows, beamed ceilings, flagstone floors and exposed floorboards and stonework. The sitting and dining rooms both have open fireplaces with inset wood burning stoves. There are more modern reception rooms including the family room and vaulted garden room which has exposed trusses and French doors to the garden. The kitchen has a range of fitted units with granite work surfaces and upstands, an electric range cooker, an integrated dishwasher, a Belfast sink, and space for a dining table seating six to eight.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

There are four bedrooms in the main house over two floors. Bedroom one has a pair of exposed 'cruck' trusses and built-in wardrobes. Triple aspect bedroom two has a window seat and exposed wide floorboards. The four piece family bathroom has a separate bath and shower cubicle. The second floor has a 15 ft. by 10 ft. landing and a double room with fitted wardrobes leading off. There is a further bathroom on the ground floor with a three piece suite with a bath.

To the side of the property is a gated driveway leading to a gravelled courtyard parking area for up to ten cars in addition to the single garage with power and lighting. There is an area of the front garden behind a front boundary wall, and a paved courtyard between the main house and ancillary accommodation. The main lawned garden to the rear of the plot has mature boundaries and steps down to a paved seating area enclosed by a low stone retaining wall adjacent to the garden room.
