A stately Victorian home, set amidst ancient, towering trees, the park-like property exudes a rare regal peacefulness Located in the heart of Annapolis Royal, Canada’s oldest settlement. Private family estate with opportunities for income.

Chatsworth, a Registered Heritage Property, is a fine example of a stately mid-Victorian mansion. It was commissioned in 1864, for Thomas Spurr Whitman, a successful local banker, and during its illustrious life has been exceptionally well-maintained by its former owners, including a shipbuilder/sea captain, a Supreme Court judge, lawyers and lumbermen. The home is well set back from the street, accessed via a paved drive encircling a wonderful cut stone fountain, offering privacy combined with close proximity to the town’s many amenities. Just overlooking the side picket fence is the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens, over the rear picket fence are views of the tidal Allain River with dikes constructed by original Acadian settlers in the mid-17th century.

Chatsworth is surrounded by Eastern Canada’s most prestigious homes… opposite is the Queen Anne Inn, next door is the Hillsdale House Inn, two doors away is the oldest house in Canada (1640), and diagonally across is Runciman House, a superb example of Regency architecture, and a currently a museum operated by the Federal government.

This gracious private estate is perfect for leisurely living and entertaining. Annapolis Royal is also a popular tourist destination, providing Chatsworth with opportunities for income as a country inn / B&B / crafts / antiques / art gallery, etc.
