Three Chimneys is a stunning period residence steeped with charm and character and situated in a convenient location on the edge of the Polden Hills. We believe the property dates back to the early 18th century and original features have been retained to include; exposed stone walls, ceiling beams and original doors. The current owners have extensively renovated, improved and upgraded the property over the last 3 years to create a stylish and contemporary family home. Attractive landscaped gardens and an additional paddock total just under an acre. Now available to buy with no onward chain.
The beautifully presented spacious accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises; an entrance door opens into the boot room which provides storage and also houses the recently upgraded central heating boiler. In addition a useful pantry provides further storage, a sink and plumbing for a washing machine. From the boot room you will enter into the kitchen/dining room which is a particular feature of the property and extends to approximately 30ft in length. A door in the corner of the room conceals a staircase which rises to the first floor. The farmhouse style kitchen benefits from a range of built-in appliances to include a 'Master Chef' Aga. The kitchen/dining room leads into the snug and has doors opening out to the rear garden. The snug is a cosy room with wood burner and solid oak staircase rising to the first floor. Also leading off the snug is a rounded burgundy room for storing and displaying wine. An inner hall provides access to a luxury bathroom with bath and separate shower. Finally, a comfortable lounge with floor to ceiling windows and door opening out onto the patio, completes the ground floor accommodation. Due the thickness of the walls in this period home, the vendors have found that the heat is retained in the winter, whilst the house remains cooler in the summer.
On the first floor you will find four bedrooms and a second luxury bathroom with bath and separate shower.
An early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate this stunning residence with attractive gardens, extensive parking and double garage, in a picturesque setting.

Outside, the manicured landscaped gardens are another feature of Three Chimneys. There is a Moroccan themed summer house which provides a perfect space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining all year round. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with an abundance of flower beds, grape and passion fruit vines, old oak tree, beech and flowering cherry, along with an orchard with a variety of 15 fruit trees and an extensive vegetable plot with poly tunnel, herb garden and composting area. A stunning Wisteria, which is believed to be a 100 years old, extends approx. 65ft across the front of the property. Along with the historic Wisteria, there are also two disused wells with hand operated pumps which used to serve the Knowle estate cottages.

Following on from the garden, a separate yard with room for 20 cars, and it’s own entrance gates features an old wooden barn that is currently used as a two car car-port could potentially offer alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents. An adjoining paddock is ideal for a pony and overall, the outside space offers possible business opportunities or a small holding. All enclosed with high wooden gates offering a good degree of security, privacy and seclusion.
