With a pillared entrance, red brick and timber-clad elevations, 4 Chancellors Farm is an attractive property, built around 5 years ago by Hampshire-based company, Hazeley Developments. The house offers light and airy interiors with an open ambience across two floors of well-proportioned accommodation, all of which maintained in impeccable order by the current owners. A generous reception hall gives access, via double doors, into the light-filled kitchen/dining room where French doors open onto a garden terrace. Fitted with modern cabinetry, topped with stone work surfaces, and featuring an island unit, this convivial room provides ample space for dining and for a casual seating area. On the opposite side of the hallway, the comfortable drawing room also has glazed doors to the rear garden and is centred around a fireplace with wood-burning stove.

On the first floor, the landing leads to four bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal room has fitted wardrobes and a smart en-suite shower room with contemporary fittings. The second bedroom also has the benefit of en-suite facilities and a wall of cupboards offers plenty of storage. Supplementary accommodation is provided in a substantial brick-built barn which incorporates a garage and offers a studio with versatile-use options. Again this has been exceptionally well maintained.

Outside

The delightful walled gardens are well-designed and maintained with manicured evergreen hedging, low railings to the front boundaries and an area of lawn with central specimen tree. A timber pergola walkway links the house to the barn with an attractive planted bed bordering the pathway. There is parking for a number of cars on the gravelled driveway. To the rear, paved terraces, with an archway and lavender beds between the two settings, provide outdoor seating and dining spots, with a gravelled corner of the garden offering the ideal site for a garden bench. A path leading to an octagonal greenhouse, together with planting to the walls and beds at the boundaries, frame an area of lawn. A vegetable garden with raised beds to the side of the house.
