The main residence is Grade II listed, reflecting its architectural and historic significance, and has been significantly updated with considerable care and sensitivity. Importantly, the improvements have not diminished the charm and individuality of the original house. Instead, the approach has been to retain and celebrate its traditional features while introducing modern flourishes and contemporary touches. This balance between old and new is central to the appeal of Chevet Grange. The result is a home that feels established and characterful without appearing dated, offering comfortable modern accommodation within a building that continues to reflect its architectural heritage. Internally, the principal house provides an extensive and versatile arrangement of accommodation. The ground floor offers an excellent selection of reception and family spaces, including a generous breakfast kitchen, sitting room, drawing room, dining room, snug and study/boot room. This combination provides considerable flexibility, allowing the house to accommodate both relaxed everyday family life and more formal entertaining. The kitchen and informal living areas lend themselves to a more contemporary design language, while rooms such as the drawing room and dining room retain a stronger sense of period character. A further notable feature of the principal residence is the dedicated wine cellar, an attractive and highly appropriate addition to a country house of this calibre. Providing a distinctive space for the storage and organisation of a wine collection, it complements the property’s generous entertaining spaces and adds another layer of character, practicality and sophistication to the accommodation. The first-floor accommodation continues the sense of scale, with a principal bedroom and four further bedrooms supported by bathroom and en-suite facilities. The layout creates a clear distinction between the sociable ground-floor accommodation and the more private bedroom areas above. Contemporary bathrooms, carefully considered lighting, bespoke joinery and modern furnishings sit comfortably alongside original architectural details, creating interiors that feel refined rather than overly modernised. A particularly valuable element of the property is the detached annex. Completely separate and self-contained from the main residence, the annex has been finished in a noticeably more contemporary and modern style. Its accommodation includes a substantial kitchen/diner, separate lounge, three bedrooms and associated bathroom and en-suite facilities. This makes it exceptionally versatile, whether used for extended family, independent guest accommodation or other ancillary purposes. Rather than attempting to replicate the character of the principal house within the annex, its more modern identity provides an effective contrast. The main residence retains a sophisticated, heritage-led aesthetic with carefully introduced contemporary elements, while the annex embraces cleaner lines, simpler finishes and a more overtly modern approach. Despite their stylistic differences, a consistent level of quality creates a natural visual relationship between the two. Beyond the accommodation itself, the setting is an important part of Chevet Grange’s appeal. Mature trees, lawns, formal planting and landscaped areas surround the house, while the sweeping driveway and central planted turning circle provide an impressive approach. The wider collection of stables, barns, garaging and ancillary buildings adds another dimension, reinforcing the property’s substantial country-house character and providing considerable versatility. Importantly, planning permission has also been granted for the conversion of the barns situated to the rear of the property, presenting an exciting opportunity to further enhance and utilise this part of the estate. The consent adds another layer of versatility and future potential to Chevet Grange, complementing the existing principal residence, detached annex and wider range of outbuildings. Overall, Chevet Grange offers an unusual combination of architectural charm, extensive accommodation and modern practicality, all within approximately 5 acres of established grounds. Its strength lies in the relationship between the Grade II listed principal residence, with its generous reception spaces and dedicated wine cellar, the contemporary self-contained annex and the wider grounds and outbuildings, together with the additional potential offered by the approved barn conversion. Any further design should build upon this distinction: preserving the warmth, history and character of the principal house while introducing considered contemporary detailing, and allowing the annex to retain its cleaner modern identity. This approach will ensure that the property continues to feel cohesive, sophisticated and entirely appropriate to its impressive setting.

The home has been finished to a particularly high standard and combines generous proportions with stylish contemporary design. A striking reception hall with a feature floating staircase provides an impressive introduction, setting the tone for the quality found throughout. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout, enhancing both comfort and efficiency, and offers a superb balance of formal and informal living spaces. These include a family room, sitting room, study and a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living area which forms the heart of the home. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with extensive cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a central island and ample space for dining and entertaining, whilst large windows and glazed doors flood the space with natural light. The first floor continues to impress with four exceptionally well-proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite featuring a substantial dressing room and an elegant en-suite bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. The remaining bedrooms on this floor are served by high-quality bathroom facilities, all finished to an excellent specification. The second floor provides two further generous double bedrooms alongside an additional contemporary bathroom, creating an ideal space for older children, guests or multi-generational living whilst offering excellent flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. A particular highlight of the property is the spectacular studio and games room. This versatile space features vaulted ceilings, extensive glazing and direct access to a balcony overlooking the grounds, making it ideal as an entertainment space, home office, gym or additional family living area. Externally, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a wonderful environment for both relaxation and entertaining.

A covered gazebo further enhances the outdoor entertaining space, whilst beautifully maintained gardens with mature trees and established boundaries provide an excellent degree of privacy. The generous lawned areas create the perfect setting for families and outdoor activities whilst retaining a wonderful sense of exclusivity and seclusion. The combination of its substantial accommodation, high-quality finish, extensive parking provision and superb outdoor space makes this a truly exceptional family home.
