Steeped in history, Chyngton House South is an 18th century manor house with a wealth of period characteristics with wall panelling, exposed timber flooring, sash windows with shutters and vintage fireplaces, with the enhancement of modern interior styling to provide an elegant home, perfectly-suited to present-day lifestyles. With just over 4,800 sq ft of versatile, light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors, the ground floor comprises three reception rooms, all offering doors which open to the garden providing a link from the inside to the outside environment. With a range stove at its heart, set within an inglenook recess, the bright, spacious kitchen is fitted with contemporary cabinetry, with a walk in pantry, a double Belfast sink and features a large island unit which creates a subtle divide to the dining area. Ancillary space is provided by an adjacent utility room which offers a home to domestic appliances with a door to an enclosed courtyard.

On the first floor, the light and spacious landing gives access to the principal bedroom which enjoys an elevated outlook over the garden and with some sea views, access to a luxurious en suite bathroom with contemporary bath and shower cubicle. There are two further en suite bedrooms at this level, along with an additional bedroom with adjacent modern shower room. With the advantage of a tucked-away setting on the second floor at the top of the house, a playroom/den provides a tranquil retreat, with two adjoining supplemental bedrooms.

Outside

A gravelled driveway to the front of the property follows the walled, oval garden feature at its centre and provides parking in addition to the garaging. To the side of the home, a paved terrace offers opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation whilst enjoying the south-easterly aspect and steps lead down to a lawned pathway with planted beds to either side, with a children's timber fort and adjoining play equiptment. The grassed area extends across the plot with beds to the walled boundaries and a courtyard garden area to one side which has timber edged planting areas providing the perfect spot for cultivating vegetables.
