Description of Property
Cheddon Corner is believed to date from the early 19th Century and has a wonderful, typically Georgian main
facade and is Grade II Listed. The house was originally part of the Portman family estate based around nearby Hestercombe House. The main reception rooms are particularly light and spacious and of typically Georgian proportions with high ceilings and decorative cornices throughout. The accommodation provides great flexibility to use the lower ground floor as a separate annexe or flat or alternatively large office space. There is an excellent range of traditional outbuildings and stores close to the house, together with a total of 5 garage spaces. There is a wonderful walled garden to the north of the house.
Gardens and Grounds
The gardens form a particularly attractive setting for the house, adjoin open farmland and afford a high level of privacy. The majority of the gardens are to the south and east of the main house with a large expanse of level lawn believed to have originally been a grass tennis court. There are raised areas of lawn with a gazebo forming an attractive seating area. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace and a further lawned area with a stream running alongside. There is an extremely productive walled kitchen garden with soft fruits and vegetable beds divided by low hedges with brick pathways. Adjacent to the garden is a further walled garden area with an outdoor heated swimming pool.
Outbuildings
These include a quadruple garage (37'7' x 17'10'), a coach house with double timber doors and an adjacent open fronted store. There is also a separate former tack room, changing room, stable, workshop and a further garage together with the pump room.
