House For Sale £1,750,000
Sitting at the head of a sweeping drive, flanked with Corsican pine trees, Chilton is a striking three storey property. With farmhouse origins believed to date back to the 1600s and a later Georgian façade, the house offers spacious and incredibly light accommodation throughout. Chilton has been improved and updated over the last 20 years, with all rooms offering huge warmth and charm and with all the modern attributes one would expect. It exhibits traditional features, such as large sash windows with shutters to the ground floor, picture rails, attractive fire places and original flagstone flooring, all combined with modern living.
The arrangement of rooms is ideal for family living, with a large bespoke kitchen/breakfast room opening out through two sets of French double doors onto the secluded courtyard to one side and formal garden to the other. Fitted with sleek modern units, a large island with marble worktop, two double ovens and an Aga (requiring connection), this room makes for a wonderful entertaining space, with both east and westerly aspects.
The central hall, with original flagstone flooring and attractive oak staircase, is flanked by the drawing and dining rooms, both having fabulous
proportions and enjoying the tranquil southerly views over the private terrace, yew garden and fields beyond.
Lying at the heart of the house is the breakfast room and opposite a morning room, with large bay having double doors out to the circular lawn.
Beyond the spacious kitchen is the rear hall, with a
pantry and step up to the family room/office, which has charming exposed timbers and double French doors out to the courtyard. Steps in the central hall lead down to the cellar rooms.
To the first floor there are four spacious double bedrooms. The two front rooms having dual aspects, enjoying the far reaching views. These rooms are served by a cloakroom, a shower room
and separate bathroom.
Stairs rise again to the second floor where there are a further three double bedrooms and a library/
study, as well as a bathroom and linen room.
The Coach House
An attractive brick built two storey cottage offering

ground floor there is a good sized sitting room, opening up to the well-appointed kitchen. To the
first floor there are two double bedrooms and a
generous bathroom.
Approached down a quiet lane on the Shropshire/Worcestershire border in the parish of Neen Savage, Chilton occupies an idyllic position amidst the rolling farmland surrounds of the River Rea Valley.
The vibrant market town of Cleobury Mortimer is only minutes away, with its Medical Centre, butchers, ironmonger, baker, hair salons, convenience stores, pubs and eateries, petrol station, vegetable shop, and the infamous church spire.
The beautiful countryside offers horse riding, cycling and walking on the doorstep and golf courses are available nearby. Notable schools are Lacon Childe in Cleobury (a leading sport college), King Edward’s and Kings School in Worcester, and Moor Park, Abberley Hall and Moffatts preparatory schools locally.
Road communication to the ancient cathedral city of Worcester, the birth place of Elgar and the burial site of King John, providing access to the M5. There are also direct train services from Worcester and Kidderminster rail stations to Birmingham and London, with easy parking. The vibrant market town of Ludlow, with its historic castle and wealth of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, is on the main train line from Cardiff to Manchester.
Birmingham and nearby Kidderminster offer excellent shopping facilities and major retail stores.
Chilton sits in an enviable position amongst beautiful rolling countryside. The gardens are extensive and a particular feature of the property,
providing a variety of areas within which to sit and
enjoy the surroundings. The front lawn is planted
with impressive topiary yew trees, with a central path providing a wonderful vista over the fields beyond. There is a deep, south facing, paved terrace to the front of the house, which provides the perfect alfresco dining space. Steps lead down to the side of the house, where there is a grass tennis court, edged with mature hornbeam and naturally fed pond.
To the east elevation there is a charming circular
lawn, surrounded by trees and enjoying the private situation and morning sunlight. Beyond is a charming garden with a mature apple tree and
quaint bothy, with a covered seating area. A gap in the hedge leads through to the productive vegetable garden, having borders edged with box hedging and well-established rose arches. Adjacent is the substantial cedar wood greenhouse, gardeners workshop and composting area.
Outbuildings
There are a number of extremely useful outbuildings. The stone barn, to the west of the
house, exhibits stunning roof timbers and can be used use for either storage or hosting parties.
Adjacent is a substantial pole barn, offering a store room and workshop area, as well as vehicle parking.
A useful store room and gardeners loo can be found within the courtyard, together with a wash
room with plumbing for white goods. The property
has a bore hole water supply and an attractive
Pigeonnier building houses the workings for this.
