About the host

Hosted by Duncan

Host profile image
Duncan is the third generation of his family to farm Chilton Grounds Farm. Partner Diana and son Charlie make up the host family.
A herd of beef cows that suckle their calves for 8-9 months each year and a flock of breeding sheep graze the 150 acres of pasture but wild bird and animal life, and their habitats, are regarded with equal importance to the whole family. A handful of free-range Chickens love roaming far and wide, there are two lovely dogs called Saker and Lanner and a cat called Phil.
I am passionate about wildlife and the animals on my farm
Love sport especially Rugby
Like positive people and attitudes

Why they chose this property

Cutter's barn is named after Duncan's grandfather who's nickname was 'Cutter' because he would cut (castrate) horses for people in the surrounding area. He purchased Chilton Grounds Farm in 1926 after growing up and farming locally.
In 2010 a major refurbishment was started and from an old cowshed and feed store it was transformed into a comfortable residential barn conversion with a sustainable renewable energy heating and hot water system.

What makes this property unique

You will be staying in a beautiful rural setting but you are minutes away from transport links that will take you to the most vibrant parts of England.
