Set within the heart of Chawton’s Conservation Area, Baytree House is a substantial and much-loved family home built by the renowned local builder Peter Cook, offering rare privacy and timeless charm.
Tucked away behind a gated entrance and a long driveway, this elegant residence sits on a generous half-acre plot, just moments from the historic village centre.
The property enjoys a wonderful level of seclusion, with landscaped gardens framed by an attractive flint wall and west-facing for those sunny summer afternoons. A heated outdoor pool with retractable cover allows for year-round enjoyment, while a thatched garden room provides a peaceful spot to soak up the afternoon sun. The expansive driveway and integral double garage with automatic doors offer ample parking and convenience.
Inside, Baytree House boasts six versatile reception rooms, including a formal dining room, study, breakfast room, conservatory, and a spacious living room with fireplace. The main family room is of particularly impressive proportions—measuring 24 ft by 19 ft—with a corner wood-burning stove, large square bay windows, and sliding doors that open directly onto the garden. An oak style bar with sink adds a touch of character and is ideal for entertaining.
The kitchen is a true family hub, featuring a breakfast bar and classic Aga stove, with easy access to the breakfast room and utility spaces. Two cloakrooms serve both entrances, ensuring practicality for busy family life.
Upstairs, the master suite is arranged for exceptional privacy and space. It features double aspect windows, two dressing rooms, and a luxurious five-piece en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two also enjoys dual views over the garden and secluded frontage, with fitted storage and an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four are generous doubles, served by a nearby family bathroom.
Baytree House is perfectly placed for enjoying the charm of Chawton village, yet completely set back from passers-by. The property sits next door to Jane Austen’s final home before passing, with the attractions of Chawton House and Jane Austen’s House just a short walk away. The village offers a delightful array of amenities including St Nicholas Church, Cassandra’s Cup café, The Greyfriar gastropub, and a community village hall. Chawton CofE Primary School is nearby and rated Good by OFSTED.
