Chiltington Ferrings is a substantial country home with a plethora of living and entertaining space that spans an impressive 7195 sq ft. The property is a classic example of Arts and Crafts style architecture and is characterised by well-proportioned rooms with the principle ones having oak panelling, floorboards and impressive red brick fireplaces.

Lying off the reception hall there is a double aspect drawing room and a dining room, both of which are oak-panelled with substantial and attractive open fireplaces. Adjoining the dining room is a family room with a square bay window overlooking the gardens. A substantial double aspect library leads off the family room with ceiling height book shelving lining the walls. French doors lead out to the terrace, hot tub and swimming pool.
The kitchen/breakfast room has a central island and generous amount of floor and wall units. French doors open from the breakfast area to a further side terrace. Continuing on this floor there is a utility room, two cloakrooms and large study.

This floor has six bedrooms, including the main bedroom suite with its dressing room and en suite bathroom. The other five bedrooms are serviced by four bathrooms. The second floor provides versatile accommodation which can be utilised as an ideal set up for au pairs and growing teenagers, benefitting from large rooms and a shower room.
