Chilton, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

A simply stunning period cottage in delightful gardens and setting with quite exceptional panoramic views

This idyllic Grade II Listed detached cottage was originally three cottages, believed to date back to circa 1650. The property has been totally transformed over the last nine years, now offering a truly inspiring combination of traditional character and beautifully crafted functionality. The attention to detail both inside and out is really quite exceptional, creating an incredibly appealing environment which epitomises country living.

The cottage has been skilfully extended to provide a fabulous kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully fitted in a classic shaker style by Hand Made Kitchens of Christchurch. There are two principal reception rooms, being a generous dining room with inglenook and a lovely triple aspect sitting room with original open fireplace. Completing the ground floor is a utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor is a large triple aspect principal bedroom, with three further bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
There is driveway to the side which provides parking and access to the single garage.

The gardens are an absolute delight; there is a paved terrace immediately to the rear, beyond which is a wide expanse of lawn with well stocked borders providing a profusion of colour. There is a brick-built outbuilding providing a garden store and wood shed. The garden adjoins open farmland to the rear and has breathtaking panoramic views across Oxfordshire.
