THE PROPERTY
Chilton Farm is a very attractive period farmhouse enjoying a private location set within the heart of the popular village of Chilton Trinity. Chilton Farm has been owned by the same family since 1921.
The property is beautifully maintained and well presented throughout to offer extremely versatile and flexible accommodation. All the rooms are well proportioned and retain many original period features, adding to its charm and character. In addition to the main house the property also includes an attached two bedroomed cottage with its own cottage garden. This provides excellent additional accommodation which could be used independently or as an addition to the main house.
A range of traditional outbuildings offer further potential for optional use. Established gardens and two paddocks with stabling makes this a very attractive family home.
Leading from the main entrance into a spacious reception hall with original polished flag stone flooring. The main staircase is to one side with a door leading out to the sun terrace. The main kitchen includes a comprehensive range of wall and base units including an integrated dishwasher, granite work surfaces and a double ceramic sink with views out to the courtyard. A feature Rayburn range provides cooking facilities as well as the hot water and central heating to the house. Beautiful polished original flagstone flooring gives this farmhouse style kitchen great character. There is a door to the side leading to the courtyard. To the other side is a doorway leading into an inner lobby with access into the downstairs shower room. Beyond is a very useful utility and boot room with access to the sun terrace. Above is access into an attic providing additional storage. Across the hall leads into the best kitchen. We understand this was originally the kitchen and is one of the oldest parts of the house. An impressive full height original Victorian dresser and storage cupboard runs along the length of the room. To the other side features a large fireplace with a Bessemer beam and mantle over currently housing a wood burning stove. A pretty casement window with shutters and a seat enjoys views out across the garden. Exposed ceiling timbers and a polished flagstone floor gives this room period charm.
The dining room has access into the main hall and kitchen. This well-proportioned room features a high ceiling and a picture rail. French doors open out to the main garden area. The main feature of the room is an ornate marble fire surround including beautiful original tiling. Polished wood flooring gives warmth to the room.
The main sitting room is spacious and bright with views to the gardens and grounds through French doors with original shutters. A feature marble surround open fireplace including beautiful detailing centres the room and a glass panel china display cupboard is to the side.
A very attractive staircase with quarter landing features a stunning stained glass window and elegant spindle banister with an oak rail leads to the first floor.
The principal bedroom features a cast iron fireplace. This particularly spacious room enjoys views over the gardens and paddocks. A storage cupboard is to the far side. An ensuite bathroom includes a slipper bath and a separate shower cubicle. A further door leads onto the landing. Bedroom 2 enjoys views towards the Quantock Hills. Bedroom 3 has an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 4 includes a range of fitted wardrobes, a feature fireplace with original tiling and an ensuite bathroom, which completes the upstairs arrangement.
THE OLD DAIRY
The Old Dairy is an attractive two bedroomed cottage adjoining the main house with independent access to the courtyard. This offers further accommodation to the main farmhouse which is ideal for a holiday rental or as additional accommodation for extended family. The accommodation includes a large kitchen and breakfast room, sitting room with French doors to the garden, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property enjoys its own exceptionally pretty cottage garden which also features an original lean-to glass house.
OUTBUILDINGS
The property benefits from a range of original outbuildings (formerly stabling and coach house) which run alongside the main drive leading into the courtyard. These include the Old Stable, a large central garage and a car port for two cars at the end. Continuing along is the Old Privy and the Long Barn with a pantile roof. This offers an opportunity to refurbish with huge potential for further accommodation if required, subject to the necessary planning conditions. The Hay Barn is by the main entrance which is a 3-bay steel frame structure under a corrugated roof.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Chilton Farm can be found in the centre of the village a short distance from the church. The property is approached along a private entrance and drive which leads to the courtyard to the side of the house with parking for many cars. A five bar timber gate leads into the paddocks with stabling and shelter found to the left side. The paddocks are edged by mature hedging and a variety of apple trees can be found within the first paddock. Leading through into the far paddock there is a vehicular gated entrance giving access to the lane if required.
The gardens to the house run along the front and side and are filled with established herbaceous borders and ornamental trees and shrubs which offer a wide variety of colour and interest. Pathways lead through the lawn areas around to the side opening out to a superb sun terrace and entertaining space. This spacious area provides excellent outdoor entertaining and BBQ space and enjoys wonderful views across the gardens towards the Quantock Hills in the distance
