Property Description

A beautifully presented five bedroom Georgian house in a private setting situated in the centre of the village of Chew Magna with a lovely open outlook. This wonderful family house has five bedroom suites, stunning kitchen, well manicured gardens and parking.

Description

The Grange is a most attractive Georgian house and forms the major part of a large detached house, approached either over its garden or over steps leading off Chew Hill. The property was purchased by the present owners in 2014 when in need of updating. The Grange has since undergone an extensive improvement programme including the addition of a superb Orangery style purpose built breakfast kitchen/ dining/living room with French doors opening to the garden, re-configuration of some of the accommodation which is arranged over three floors, replacing bathrooms and shower rooms, re-wiring, and laying wood and stone floors.

All period features appropriate to its period including moulded ceiling cornices, window shutters, period ?Replaces and panelled doors, have been retained. The interior has a warm and friendly atmosphere of simple elegance, especially that of the drawing room on the first floor which has tall sash windows overlooking the garden and beyond to farmland on Chew Hill. There are two bedroom suites on the first floor and three bedroom suites on the second floor. The cellar, accessed from the reception hall, has a good ceiling height and has scope to prove a cinema or gym, subject to any necessary planning consents.

Outside

The property is approached over stone steps from Chew Hill leading to the front door, only about 200 yards from the village centre, or through double timber gates opening to a parking space and garden, beside the detached double garage. A pathway through the garden leads to the front of the house. There is additional parking in front of the garage. The very attractive and private 'oasis' of a garden is planned for all year around colour. There is lawn on either side of a winding pathway leading down to the detached garage and parking area, a variety of colourful plants and ornamental shrubs and trees including Magnolia. Mature trees include Fir. There is a stone paved area, immediately in front of the house accessed from the French doors in the kitchen, providing a superb area for entertaining, overlooking the garden with a view to farmland on Chew Hill.
