Description

This stunning Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to 1316, is nestled in unspoilt countryside yet remains close to good communications. The Chantry, a house of exceptional character and historical significance, retains much of its heritage from its days as part of a larger estate owned by the Halswell and Paulet families. The property boasts a beautifully presented interior, featuring original features such as cross-beamed ceilings, formal fireplaces, and arched alcoves. The spacious bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a 1655-marked plastered panel above the fireplace, lead into a characterful bathroom. The enchanting gardens, approached via a charming gate, offer a broad terrace, lawned areas, and a rose garden, providing multiple seating areas and a sense of seclusion. The property also includes two converted barns at the rear, which have separate access. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and idyllic surroundings, The Chantry is a truly unique and special property.
