Springfield House is an elegant Grade II listed Georgian residence, dating from as early as 1660, with the front house commissioned for a prominent local mill owner and completed in 1834. Built of ashlar stone and limestone beneath a Welsh slate roof, the property showcases an exceptional array of original period details, including soaring ceilings, intricate cornicing, sash windows with working shutters, stone flooring, character fireplaces, and an elegant cantilevered stone staircase ascending to a vaulted ceiling above. At the heart of the ground floor is a magnificent reception hall, leading to four beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each enjoying classic Georgian symmetry and delightful garden outlooks. Complementing the formal living spaces are a kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, an impressive full-width orangery ideal for dining and entertaining, a games room, utility/boot room, and internal access to the large double garage with workbench. Three cloakrooms also serve this level. Positioned above the garage is a self-contained apartment with kitchenette and shower room, perfectly suited for guest accommodation, a home office, or annexe. The first floor provides six generous double bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom, two additional bathrooms, and a further reception room or optional seventh bedroom. Many of the rooms benefit from far-reaching views and continue the home’s rich period character.

Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway offering ample parking, the property sits within beautifully established grounds featuring formal lawns, mature trees, and a secluded rear garden. A substantial stone terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, complemented by two greenhouses and a garden store. Chalford combines seclusion with community charm. The sale also includes a separate 1.88-acre paddock with stables located nearby, offering further amenity and lifestyle appeal. A short stroll takes you to the excellent Lavender Bakehouse Café, the popular Old Neighbourhood Inn, and a variety of local shops, sports facilities, and the annual Chalfest music festival.
