Chipchase House lies to the east of Wark village in a superb country setting with stunning panoramic views and a southerly aspect. Origins of this property date back to the 17th Century and in the past has had a number of different uses including a Toll house, a public free house and a private residence for some fifty years. The current owners have carried out an extensive amount of modernisation and refurbishment to create a splendid four bedroom, four reception room, country house with extensive and private gardens and much of its original charm and character. There is a generous sized cellar, which is ideal storage space. The gardens are a particular feature of this home and are extensive, well-laid out and maintained with a very productive fruit and vegetable garden, orchard, extensive lawned areas, dispersed with mature beds of bushes, shrubs and flowers. There is a large patio and various additional sitting areas. At the far end there is a large paddock with its own water supply, which would be suitable for a variety of different uses. The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and enjoys full oil-fired central heating and double glazing. This is a rare gem of a property and will undoubtedly appeal to family use and we would strongly urge an internal inspection in order to fully appreciate what is on offer.
