Charming 17th Century Grade II listed house set in delightful gardens in the heart of the village.
Description
Originally two cottages forming part of the Dashwood Estate, Chipps enjoys an idyllic setting on the edge of Wheeler Common, set within its own delightful gardens. This Grade II listed property is thought to date back to the 17th century, with later additions and is full of character, brimming with period features. Nestled in charming Wheeler Common, Marlow is just about six miles away. The property includes a detached garden room/home office and garaging with store above, providing excellent versatility of use. Just over half an acre in all.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the front door opening into the charming dining hall, full of character with exposed beams and a feature inglenook fireplace and wood burner. French doors open from this room into the conservatory, overlooking the garden to the rear with two sets of doors opening the space to the garden. Adjacent to the dining hall, a delightful sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, framing views of the surrounding gardens. Exposed beams and a particularly fine inglenook fireplace add warmth and character, creating a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Beyond here an inner hallway, with stairs to the first floor and outside door access, sits alongside a quietly located study. This room could equally be arranged as a single bedroom/nursery, complemented by the adjoining bathroom. Accessed from the dining hall, the kitchen is well equipped with a range of units incorporating a peninsular unit with breakfast bar seating. There is a mix of granite and wood worktops alongside a range of integrated appliances. In addition doors lead through to the conservatory. Just off the kitchen is a utility room leading through to a boot room/cloakroom.
On the first floor the bedroom accommodation is accessed via two separate staircases. The principal bedroom is full of character, with vaulted, angled ceilings and exposed beams. Across the hall lies a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The secondary staircase leads to a pretty guest bedroom and adjoining landing space, currently used as bedroom four, both brimming with charm and enjoying picturesque garden views.
The gardens at Chipps are a beautiful feature and provide a delightful backdrop to the property. Both the front and back gardens are landscaped with large areas of lawn surrounded by well stocked and shrub and flower beds, packed with colour and scent. To the rear an ornamental pond gently flows into a meandering stream. High hedging and a variety of attractive trees provide a good deal of privacy. A terrace area adjoins the house to the rear giving the perfect spot for outside dining and entertaining. There is an attractive brick summer house nestling in the garden, providing an ideal working from home space. A gravelled driveway to the side provides off-street parking and leads to a double garage with useful storage/studio space above.
