Charrington House, a stunning 5-bedroom house for sale in Chilworth, is the only property left in an exclusive, small development of 5 luxury homes and 4 apartments.

Enter gates to the secluded cul-de-sac, which backs onto mature woodland, and enjoy the striking first impression of our beautiful red brick property of the month. Through the front door, the triple height entrance hall is the perfect welcome and hub from which to discover the rest of the ground floor.

Let us start with the vast open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. Accessed via double doors from the entrance hall, this space is the heart of the home and perfect for everyday family life through to parties and special occasions. The sleek, chic kitchen space is a dream for chefs, complete with a sociable central island. Access to the separate laundry room is also conveniently located at this end of the room.

The whole open-plan area is flooded with light, enjoying views over the front and back gardens and floor-to-ceiling bifold doors directly to the terrace. In the summer, why not make the most of al fresco dining, BBQs and simply throwing open the doors to let in a gentle summer breeze?

The next room to discover is the drawing room, opposite the kitchen and boasting its own set of French doors to the garden. This generous room is the perfect place to retire in the evening, perhaps unwinding with a book or your favourite TV show.

The formal dining room at the front of the house is the last of the reception rooms we visit, with space for a large table and plenty of guests. If you like hosting Christmas, this is the perfect setting for your delicious dinner with family and friends.

Lastly, but by no means least, the ground floor is completed with a large closet, under-stairs storage, and a useful cloakroom. This detached house for sale in Chilworth is perfectly designed for modern life with these valuable extra features.

Ascending the impressive staircase from the entrance hall, you arrive on the large landing with views over the front of the property. Four of the five double bedrooms are found on this level: let us start with the master bedroom. This superb room overlooks the back garden, with a separate dressing room, and large en-suite bathroom.

A useful study, ideal for those who work from home or simply desire a quiet space, looks out over the back garden.

Continuing up to the second floor you will find bedroom 5, a final shower room/WC, plant room/storage, and a vast media/games room which could easily be used as another office or gym.

With our tour of the house complete, let us consider the outside space. Charrington House is set in a generous plot with its gardens mostly laid to lawn.
