Chestnut Cottage is a substantial, stone-built family home set on a large plot in the desirable hamlet of Baulking. The house offers flexible living across multiple reception rooms, a generous kitchen/dining extension with bi-fold doors, and five double bedrooms plus a separate upstairs office — well suited to a busy family who need space and home-working capability. The property retains period character such as exposed brick and original fireplaces while benefiting from modern conveniences including a contemporary kitchen, integrated dishwasher and AGA oven that supplements heating.
Externally the plot delivers privacy and mature planting, with a patio, large lawn and two gated front accesses leading to ample driveway parking and a garage. Views to the village green at the front and to mature trees at the rear add to the rural charm. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and there is no flood risk — practical positives for family life and remote working.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed property; that status will constrain alterations and can complicate refurbishment or extension plans. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The garden and some external areas show a rustic, unrefined nature and would benefit from landscaping or targeted upkeep to reach their full potential. Overall, this is a characterful, spacious home in a peaceful countryside setting, offering immediate family use with scope for sensitive improvement within listed-building constraints.
