Chalmers Green

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after neighbourhood of Carlton Colville, this detached residence enjoys a setting that feels both peaceful and connected. With open fields stretching beyond the rear boundary, mornings begin with wide skies and birdsong, while the nearby Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve offers miles of walking routes and an ever-changing natural backdrop. Essential amenities are close at hand, and the waterside charm of Oulton Broad is just a short drive away, making this a location that balances countryside calm with everyday convenience.

The house itself has been thoughtfully arranged to offer spacious and flexible accommodation, designed to evolve with modern family life. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, bright, airy and practical, complete with a convenient WC for guests. From here, the ground floor unfolds with an easy flow that lends itself equally well to busy weekday routines and relaxed weekends at home.

At the heart of the property, the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with cabinetry and integrated appliances including an oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, alongside plumbing for a washing machine. There is ample space for informal dining, creating a natural hub for morning coffee, homework at the table or supper with friends.

The living room is generously proportioned and filled with light from its double-aspect windows. A feature fireplace provides a focal point, while French doors open directly onto the garden, extending the living space outdoors during the warmer months. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying a quiet evening in, this is a room that adapts with ease.

A separate dining room offers welcome versatility, equally suited to formal dinners, a home office, a playroom or even an additional bedroom if required. The layout ensures that each space can be tailored to individual preferences and changing needs over time.

Upstairs, four bedrooms provide comfort and privacy. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Each room offers a pleasant outlook, with the rear-facing bedrooms enjoying views towards the open fields beyond.

Outside, the wrap-around gardens are a particular feature. A south-west facing patio captures the afternoon and evening sun, ideal for al fresco dining or simply unwinding at the end of the day. The lawn is bordered by established shrubbery, creating a sense of enclosure without compromising the openness of the setting. Side access leads to the garage, while a brick-weave driveway provides off-road parking and access to the garage with its up-and-over door, offering useful storage or potential workshop space.

This is a home that offers space, flexibility and a well-regarded setting, a place to settle into, with room to grow and a landscape that invites you outdoors.
