Price:
£8,000,000
Location:
Heywood, Wilts
Description:
Chalcot House is the ideal country house. An architectural delight providing appealing accommodation in terms of size, appointment and proportion, which overlooks its Park. The parkland is bordered by mature woodland ensuring privacy whilst the approach is over a long drive, which offers occasional glimpses of the stunning façade. The exquisite south front (façade) holds instant appeal. Described in Nikolaus Pevsner The Buildings of Britain (Wiltshire edition) as ‘unusually animated’, which must refer to the rare combination of Doric, Ionic and Corinithian pilasters flanking the large sash windows. These in turn are capped by triangular or segmental pediments, which combine with the central front door and its semi- circular niche and urn above to provide a pleasing symmetry. This is further enhanced by the use of Flemish bond brick elevations with Ashlar stone dressings which are immediately bordered by lawns, without the need for floral or shrub colour or embellishment. Dating from the late 17th century, today’s house incorporates an earlier dwelling. The drive leads to an enclosed gravel forecourt on the north front of the house. A turning circle fronts the porch, with the Cottage and garages to the east and the pool house and a brick wall to the west providing enclosure. The half-octagonal porch makes a most welcoming entrance and displays the heraldic arms of the Phipps family above the front door. The porch opens into the vestibule, which in turn has a pair of half-glazed doors, which lead into the central stair hall. The stair hall is the hub of the ground floor accommodation, from which all of the ground floor rooms can be accessed. The stone floor and staircase are complimented by the ornate iron balustrade and fine oak doors and architraves. The elegant drawing room and dining room stand to either side of the stair hall. The drawing room is west facing, overlooking the garden and benefits from full height windows including a central. Still available at ListedBuy!
