Description
Chevaliers Estate makes a magical setting for a group celebration or get-together, the Grade 1 historic estate is brimming with charm and character and holds a wonderful position within beautiful English countryside. The house is located in a secluded hamlet deep in unspoilt Shropshire countryside, making it a tranquil haven which is perfect for those really looking for an escape.
The bedroom accommodation is spread across the Gatehouse, Moat House, Cider House, Coach House, and Library Suite, offering guests a unique opportunity to "holiday in history." Each property provides a sense of privacy while being conveniently located within 100 yards of friends and family staying in the other buildings. The Gatehouse, Moat House, Cider House, and Coach House each feature two beautifully appointed bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, along with excellent living, kitchen, and dining facilities. The Library Suite offers a charming one-bedroom retreat with an en-suite bathroom and a kitchenette, perfect for a more intimate stay.
The Dragon Hall makes a wonderful addition to the Estate and forms the centre piece of any group stay. It has been featured by critic William Sitwell in the Daily Telegraph. The huge beamed room has been decorated in gilt frescoes by the Jerwood prize winning artist Adam Dant in the style of a 15th century Florentine Palazzo. With a pair of huge baronial chandeliers, it has the atmosphere and decor of a private Mayfair club in the country. At one end is a large Palazzo-style working fireplace, with a selection of deep sofas, luxurious arm chairs, a huge velvet Ottoman and a hidden 'honour bar' in a Chinese mirrored cabinet. The long refectory oak dining table can seat up to 20 guests (adjustable to sit any number from 10 to 20 guests) with truffle velvet chairs that are modern replicas of the Elizabeth II Coronation chairs used in Westminster Abbey in 1953. This is the perfect place for the whole group to gather and enjoy a delicious meal. There is a professional kitchen with a double RangeMaster cooker with five ring gas top, extra electric hand commercial microwave. American-style fridge/freezer, drinks fridge, dishwasher, microwave and Wedgwood china and 'King's Plate' cutlery makes this the perfect private dining space for a memorable occasion. We have a list of local chefs who can cater for special dinners and meals, along with service staff. Full English or Continental Breakfast can also be organised using the very finest local Shropshire produce. We also offer a self-catering option for those who wish to do their own cooking but may just want one or two catered special meals for the group stay.
The shared and private gardens are just as beautiful with guests of the Estate having access to the historic gardens of the Hall. The Gatehouse has a private, enclosed garden complete with a fountain, dining facilities and a barbecue can be provided on request. The Cider House has beautiful French windows looking out onto a garden view with ancient woodland beyond. The Moat House and Coach House both boast their very own sun terraces, the perfect spots for guests to enjoy their morning coffee!
