Description

Chesswood is a wonderful family home, thoughtfully built for the current owners and set within a beautifully mature and secluded plot of approximately half an acre in a prime spot in Loudwater.

Approached through a gated entrance on the corner of Loudwater Lane, the house sits beautifully within its setting, and as the gates open, you are instantly struck by its character and style. Stepping inside, a generous, light-filled reception hall welcomes you, with attractive flooring and doors leading to the principal reception rooms.

The sitting room is both elegant and inviting, centred around a feature fireplace and opening through French doors onto the garden - perfect for summer afternoons and cosy winter evenings alike. From here, doors lead to the triple-aspect dining room, a wonderfully bright space for entertaining. A separate family room offers a quieter retreat, ideal for reading or relaxing, and connects seamlessly to the spacious kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen is well-appointed with an excellent range of wall and floor units, generous work surfaces, and integrated appliances including a Miele dishwasher, a Britannia oven with induction hob, and a microwave. There is ample space for a large fridge/freezer and a family-sized breakfast table. Beyond, a conservatory with tiled flooring enjoys lovely views across the gardens, creating a delightful spot to sit and unwind. The utility room sits just off the kitchen, offering storage, a larder, space for appliances, and a convenient laundry chute from the first floor principal en suite. Completing the ground floor are a spacious study and a cloakroom.

Upstairs, a bright and airy landing leads to the bedroom accommodation and provides access to the loft via a ladder, with light and partial boarding for additional storage.

The principal bedroom suite is a particularly special space, enjoying fine garden views and a generous dressing area, both fitted with an excellent range of matching wardrobes. The en suite bathroom features a four-piece suite with twin vanity basins and even includes a cleverly concealed laundry chute to the utility room below. The main guest bedroom, positioned to the front of the house, benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish tiled en suite shower room. A second guest suite overlooks the garden and includes built-in wardrobes and its own tiled shower room. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor.

Outside
The gardens are undoubtedly a highlight of Chesswood. The house is set within approximately half an acre of mature, secluded grounds, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and a semi-rural feel. The gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a double garage with storage above and a carport along with a gardener’s WC to the rear.

The rear garden features mature trees, striking rhododendrons, well-stocked borders, expansive lawns, and a terrace ideal for entertaining. It is a garden designed to be enjoyed — whether hosting friends on a summer evening or simply relaxing with family in peaceful surroundings.
