From the moment you arrive, Chalain makes an unforgettable welcome. A sweeping driveway curves through a colourful front garden, offering ample parking and a sense of quiet seclusion. Beyond the gates, the home unfolds into a thoughtfully arranged interior designed for both family life and entertaining.

Inside, the main reception rooms stretch impressively from front to back, creating a natural flow between spaces. A bow window draws light into the front living area, while French doors at the back open into a large conservatory, which is the undeniable highlight of the home. Bathed in sunlight from morning until evening, this space offers a setting for everything from relaxed breakfasts to lively gatherings.

The adjoining country-style kitchen, finished in painted wood, reinforces the home’s warm and welcoming character. Practicality is equally well considered, with a separate utility room and additional storage enhancing everyday convenience.

Upstairs, the property has five well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefitting from fitted wardrobes. One of the two front bedrooms enjoys the added luxury of an en suite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the other rooms.

A further staircase leads to an attic level, home to three more rooms. While currently used as versatile storage and hobby space, the generous ceiling height offers exciting potential for future conversion, subject to planning permission, of course.

The outdoor spaces at Chalain are equally as impressive. A secluded westerly-facing side garden offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a paved patio framed by mature lavender, evoking a subtle continental charm. Meanwhile, the south-westerly garden enjoys sunlight throughout the day, making it ideal for family activities and outdoor dining.

Children’s play equipment is already in place, and a solid block-built garden shed, with window and pitched roof, presents an opportunity for conversion into a studio or playhouse.
