Chattan Hall is a magnificent country home that forms the principal part of a grand Victorian manor house, which dates back to around 1860 and was divided into three around a century later. Chattan Hall occupies the
substantial west wing, which is beautifully and classically elegant with wonderful southerly and westerly countryside views. The house is approached over a long private shingled driveway, with plenty of parking.

The immaculately presented accommodation has been much improved and restored with superb quality by the current owners over recent years. Victorian period features include original tile and parquet flooring, ornate cornicing around high ceilings and tall windows spreading natural light throughout.

The reception hallway provides a spectacular welcome as you enter the property, with wonderful flooring and a sweeping staircase. There is an exceptionally finished modern kitchen/breakfast room with premium appliances, a utility room, downstairs cloakroom and underfloor heating throughout. An expansive and feature filled dining room adjoins the kitchen. A superb drawing room manages to be opulent and intimate, with direct access to the veranda. All facing out through huge windows to the outstanding views over the gardens and to the hills beyond. A gorgeous garden room is attached to the southern elevation with access to the gardens.

A fabulous conservatory/day room with a small kitchen area is a fantastic addition to the rear of the property, with doors out to the glorious terrace and gardens. There are three large bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with dressing area and en-suite bathroom, alongside the family bath and shower rooms.

Despite its stately appearance the building is not listed, offering plenty of scope for new owners to make their mark. There are plans already drawn up to expand into the substantial loft area should more space be required,
without needing planning permission.

SITUATION

Chattan Hall is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just outside of the bustling market town of
Axminster, enjoying far reaching views over the Axe Valley and beyond.

Axminster is about 1 mile away, with independent shops, cafes and restaurants, a main line railway station with
direct trains to Waterloo, and Exeter and easy access to the A35 to Bridport or Honiton. Lyme Regis is a short drive away, the nearest town on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. It has a wide range of shops, boutiques and eateries, a picturesque historic harbour and cobb. There are also recreational and sporting facilities including a
theatre, clifftop golf course, sailing club, diving, sea fishing and bowls. Half an hour away, Exeter provides a broader array of shopping, eating and entertainment, small international airport and access to the M5.

Many excellent local schools and sixth forms, including Colyton Grammar School, one of England's top mixed state schools.

(Note: Set slightly away from the property is a two-storey coach house, part of which could potentially be purchased via separate negotiation, and is not part of the Chattan Hall sale)
