Description
Chaney Lodge is a stunning Grade II listed detached property, believed to date back to the 17th Century, with significant additions made in the 20th century. This charming home stands alone in the picturesque gravelled forecourt of the magnificent Nailsea Court, a historic property of great importance. The former owner of The Court, Richard Perceval, is credited with deciphering crucial documents that helped to defeat the Spanish Armada. In recognition of its significance, Nailsea Court was dubbed "The house that saved England" by Bishop Kennion, and it is believed that Elizabeth I visited the property in 1574. The Lodge itself was sympathetically divided under the supervision of The National Trust and English Heritage, preserving its historical integrity.
Approached via a lovely tree-lined drive, the property sits amidst delightful gardens and grounds, including a broad gravelled carriage sweep at the front and a shared croquet lawn with neighbouring properties. Chaney Lodge benefits from a private, beautifully stocked garden. This pretty outdoor space offers views over the Ha Ha to open farmland beyond, with a feature rhyl (a circulating water feature) that provides a soothing trickle of water, creating a natural focal point. A wide gravel pathway runs alongside a sunny south-facing lawn, offering plenty of spots to relax and enjoy the glorious countryside views.
The property is filled with charming details, such as superb mullioned windows that frame the rural vistas. A striking feature is the grand mullioned window in the drawing room with its high vaulted ceiling with a feature mezzanine study area. The entire home has been enhanced by hand-built oak cabinetry created by local craftsman Robert Coles, adding a rich, bespoke touch throughout.
The spacious Aga kitchen is complimented by excellent storage, granite worksurfaces, an Italian maple dresser, and a fully tiled floor. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room, while the ground floor also features a versatile bedroom or quiet snug. The first-floor master bedroom is flooded with morning sunlight and has an suite bathroom with a whirlpool bath. The second bedroom is a generous space with a high vaulted ceiling and a dedicated en suite shower room
Additionally, the property offers a single garage with a first floor level, added by the current owners to provide excellent storage space.
