Chillies Lane, High Hurstwood, TN22

A period home believed to have 18th-century origins, later extended and adapted over time. The house has grown in a way that feels natural, resulting in a layout that flows easily, while still retaining a strong sense of its history. Original features remain, sitting comfortably alongside more recent additions. Set within just over 6.7 acres, the property sits quietly tucked away, surrounded by a mix of gardens and established woodland. Each room looks out onto greenery, whether lawn, trees or more open countryside beyond, which gives the house a consistent sense of connection to its setting. It’s a home that feels both private and relaxed, well suited to day-to-day living as much as it is to enjoying the space around it.

The house opens into a welcoming entrance hall where exposed beams and warm timber finishes immediately set the feel for the rest of the home. The layout is easy and well balanced, with a mix of more formal rooms alongside spaces that work well for everyday living. The drawing room is a comfortable, inviting space centred around a fireplace, while the dining room has a slightly more traditional feel, well suited to longer meals and gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast/family room sits at the rear of the house and works well as a sociable, everyday space. There is plenty of room for both cooking and sitting, with views out over the gardens that bring in a good amount of natural light throughout the day. It connects naturally to a more relaxed family area, which helps the space feel open without losing definition. Elsewhere, a separate study provides a quieter spot, ideal for working from home or reading.

Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the same calm andcomfortable feel. The principal suite is well proportioned, with space for a dressing area and an en suite, and enjoys particularly nice views over the surrounding gardens and woodland. The remaining bedrooms are all of a good size and offer flexibility depending on how they are used, each with its own outlook. Across the house, there’s a consistent sense of connection to the outside, with greenery visible from every room.

Outside

The grounds extend to just over 6.7 acres, comprising a mix of gardens and established woodland that create a strong sense of space and privacy. Lawns wrap around the house with terraces and seating areas positioned for outdoor dining, while beyond, the woodland offers a more natural setting with paths and clearings to explore. There are several useful outbuildings, including a double garage with studio above, an open-fronted three-bay car barn and an additional garage/workshop, providing flexibility for storage, hobbies or home working.

The popular Hurstwood pub and local primary school are within walking distance, adding to the appeal. Surrounded by open countryside, the area offers excellent opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits, with a strong sense of community, and still within easy reach of nearby towns and transport links.
