In an elevated rural position, surrounded by formal gardens and parkland, a significant Grade II listed country house recently restored, approached over a long private drive. Cheveney was built in the latter part of the 17th Century, originally of oak framed construction under a plain tiled roof. The property was extended in the 19th Century and restored in the early part of the 20th Century. Over the course of the last twelve months, the current owner has undertaken a comprehensive modernisation project, resulting in Cheveney now providing magnificent family accommodation set in an idyllic rural position, yet in easy access to all road and rail services. With almost 11,000 sq ft of accommodation in the main house alone, there are five elegant reception rooms accessed primarily from the great hall and eight bedroom suites above. There is also a three bedroomed ground floor apartment either for staff or family with mobility issues. The two cottages have also been recently modernised and offer up to thee bedrooms each. A large internal courtyard comprising several garages, carport, generator/boiler room, stables and store rooms are another feature. Adjacent to it is a substantial glasshouse, small orchard and tennis court. The gardens are a particular feature of the property being a combination of formal beds, lake and parkland, all protecting the southern aspect of the house. Beyond on all sides is useful parkland providing both protection and is ideal either for those with equestrian or agricultural needs. In all about 24 acres.
