The Property The Ford House is a wonderful period country property set in arguably one of the best locations in Chobham. Ford Road is a most attractive country lane with substantial properties. The lane ends at the Ford, which is closed for vehicles, but is regularly used by people on horseback. Our clients have owned The Ford House for the last 8 years and during their ownership have carried out a comprehensive programme of modernising and extending. The house now offers beautiful family accommodation, with some wonderful reception rooms including a stunning double height dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room has been comprehensively fitted with attractive units and a cream Aga. Unusually for a property of this age, there are almost as many bathrooms as bedrooms, making this house perfect for modern living. One of the key features of The Ford House is the fact that the property has a ground source heat pump making it very economical to run. The clients inform us that it costs approximately 550 per month to run the property, including all heating and electricity. Gardens and Grounds The property is approached from Ford Road into a sweeping driveway with plenty of parking for numerous cars. The grounds are stunning and include formal lawns, abutting a tributary feeding the Ford. In addition to the formal gardens, there is a part walled garden with a kitchen garden and a floodlit tennis court. There is also a stable block with separate vehicular access from the lane, which is adjacent to the orchard and paddocks.
