Chilland is a unique setting, one narrow unspoilt lane leading down to the River Itchen and lying on the south side of the B3047 valley road between the village of Martyr Worthy and the charming small Georgian town of Alresford. Chilland is one of the most prestigious addresses in the Itchen valley and at the end of the lane are wonderful walks by the river along the Pilgrims Way which links with the Itchen Way.

At Kings Worthy, two miles, there is a Store/Post Office, Alresford has a wide range of shops and the city of Winchester, three miles, caters for most amenities including a mainline station to London Waterloo, 55 minutes, and there is access on to the motorway, M3 northbound providing a link to the M25 orbital motorway, the airport and London, or the M27 southbound to the busy conurbation along the South Coast and the A34, within three miles, links with the M4 just north of Newbury.

There are excellent schools within easy reach including Princes Mead, Pilgrims, Winchester College and St Swithuns and also a very fine primary school in Itchen Abbas. Sporting facilities include golf courses at Alresford, Avington Park and Winchester, fishing on the Rivers Alre, Itchen and Test and sailing and associated watersports on the Hamble, Southampton Water and the Solent.

Dell House was built for the present owners in 1988 in a classical Georgian-style of mellow brick elevations, inset sash windows under a tiled roof. The house has great charm and character, beautifully proportioned light rooms, the majority enjoying the wonderful views over the adjoining countryside. It also has the potential to be enlarged, convert the roof into additional bedrooms and build garaging, all subject to the necessary planning consents.
