Property description

Chestnut Hall is an attractive country residence set in around four acres of secluded private grounds surrounded by open countryside. Whilst benefiting from a peaceful rural location it is still just a few minutes drive from the village of Thorney and from the centre of Peterborough. The house itself was built in 2000 and has a classic design with an impressive façade and many windows that flood the rooms with light and offer far-reaching country views in all directions. Inside, the extensive accommodation is laid out over three floors and offers a mix of elegant reception space, practical everyday rooms, stylish bathrooms and a spacious, sunny Kitchen/Breakfast Room with adjoining Conservatory. The ground floor rooms are linked by wide double doors creating a semi-open plan flow that is both ideal for entertaining and offers a variety of uses to suit individual tastes. Many of the rooms open out to the grounds which features wide lawns and sunny, sheltered patios for alfresco seating, whilst adjoining the garden is a bark-covered children's play area and a pony paddock with a recently installed timber-frame stable block. With its impressive range of rooms, extensive grounds and sunny gardens, Chestnut Hall is a unique, practical home offering flexible accommodation in a quiet rural location.
