River Way, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 2QJ

This detached chalet on River Way combines clever design with stylish finishes, creating a home that feels both practical and indulgent. Refurbished and extended to a high standard, every detail has been considered to make the most of the space and light.

The heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — a room designed for modern living. The deep blue kitchen units with brass handles stand out against the warm herringbone flooring, and the generous island invites family and friends to gather. There’s plenty of room to zone for dining, lounging or a home workspace, all opening through full-width bi-fold doors to the garden.

The ground floor master suite feels like a retreat, with dark feature walls giving it a modern edge. A walk-in wardrobe almost the size of a bedroom leads through to a luxurious en-suite bathroom with separate bath and shower.

Upstairs, two further double bedrooms make excellent use of the chalet’s roofline, each with good head height and plenty of natural light. The rear bedroom has a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and shares a Jack and Jill bathroom with the third bedroom — ideal for families or guests. A downstairs WC and utility with side access add everyday convenience.

Set on a 0.14-acre plot, the property offers generous parking at the front and a private south-east facing garden at the rear. The outside space is made for entertaining and relaxing, with a large lawn, patio, pond, swimming pool and a substantial storage shed.

River Way is a sought-after residential road in Christchurch, within easy reach of the town centre, the A338 for London and beyond, and the beaches of Southbourne. The home is freehold, with gas central heating and no covenants or restrictions.
