Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Chilton Farm House is a mid‑20th century detached farmhouse on a substantial seven‑acre plot. The house sits behind a long private drive and offers mature gardens, extensive paddocks, stables, tack room, a large barn and a detached garage — an attractive package for equestrian families or those wanting countryside privacy within reach of local schools and transport links.
The farmhouse provides flexible family accommodation over two floors: two reception rooms, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. A large loft with an existing window offers potential for further accommodation subject to planning. There is already planning permission (DDC reference 24/00609) to convert the agricultural barn into a residential annexe, adding clear development potential for additional living space or multi‑generational use.
Practical considerations are straightforward and honest: the home is heated by an oil boiler with radiators, benefits from double glazing, and the EPC is band D. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — important for buyers planning to work from home. The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s and may benefit from cosmetic updating in places. Council Tax sits at band F, reflecting the size and location.
For buyers seeking countryside lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity: established paddocks with horse‑safe fencing, off‑road hacking from the gate and level land suitable for a riding arena (subject to planning). Located a short drive from village amenities and well‑rated local schools, and with road, rail and ferry links within easy reach, Chilton Farm House balances seclusion with practical access to services.
