Owners Insight

"I have had the joy of calling Chatsworth home for more than half my life. Together with my late husband, we raised our son here, filling the house and garden with family, friends, and the lively energy of two much-loved dogs. It has been the backdrop to countless memories, from summer barbecues to cosy bonfire nights shared with neighbours.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and private setting that still offers every convenience close at hand, this is the perfect place. Within a 15-minute stroll you can reach the beach, while just a few minutes’ walk brings you to wonderful local favourites – from the deli Me and Mrs Jones, to a pint at the Kents Pub or a delicious supper at Portofino.

They say it’s all about location, location, location – I believe Chatsworth has it."
