Chataigne - a modern Mediterranean-inspired villa in Frenchay.

Set discreetly behind electric gates, Chataigne is a striking single-storey residence that blends contemporary architecture with the relaxed elegance of a Mediterranean villa.

Designed with privacy, comfort, and style in mind, this detached home offers a rare combination of high specification living and resort-like ambience.

A wide reception hall draws you into the heart of the home, where clean architectural lines and natural light create a calming flow throughout. The semi-open plan sitting and dining room, anchored by a feature fireplace, forms a superb central living space. Adjoining this, the bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, illuminated by skylights and garden views, provides both everyday practicality and a stylish environment for hosting. A separate utility room is set just off the kitchen, with direct access outdoors to one of the garages.

The principal suite is a private retreat with garden outlooks, a dressing area, and a luxurious en suite, enhanced by a Bang & Olufsen television for indulgent relaxation. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite, while Bedrooms Three and Four share a beautifully appointed Jack & Jill bathroom. Adding an extra layer of indulgence, the property also boasts a spa-inspired bathroom—a tranquil showstopper designed with luxury finishes, evoking the serenity of a private retreat.

Completing the accommodation is a dedicated home office and a well-proportioned gymnasium, providing versatility for both work and wellbeing.

Outside, Chataigne truly comes alive. Designed as an extension of the home’s Mediterranean soul, the gardens are a private sanctuary, with lush planting, architectural lighting, and multiple seating and dining areas. From the outdoor lounge beneath a statement parasol, to the dining terrace perfect for entertaining, and the sunken hot tub set against bamboo planting, every space has been crafted for relaxation and enjoyment. By day, the gardens are sun-drenched and serene; by night, they transform into an atmospheric retreat with vibrant uplighting and a holiday-like ambience.

Practicality is equally impressive, with a below-ground double garage offering secure and discreet parking, complemented by a separate single garage and ample driveway space.
With its blend of high specification design, modern convenience, and Mediterranean soul, Chataigne is not just a house—it’s a lifestyle.

What the sellers say -
“We were instantly drawn to this home over 30 years ago — its Mediterranean design, single-storey layout and the calm, tranquil setting in the heart of Frenchay felt so special.

Over the years we’ve extended the kitchen and bedrooms to create more space, but always kept the unique character we first fell in love with. The house is filled with light and has a wonderful flow, especially with the bi-fold doors opening straight into the garden.

The garden itself has been just as important to us — private, low-maintenance and with a real Mediterranean feel, it’s been the perfect place to relax or entertain. We’ve loved living here, with the village amenities, riverside walks and easy access into Bristol, and hope the next owners enjoy the same happiness and contentment we’ve experienced.”
