Chilmington Green was a hamlet on the south-west edge of town of Ashford, Kent. It contains 10 listed buildings. [2] The population at the 2011 Census was included in the civil parish of Great Chart with Singleton. [3]

As of February 2025, many of the planned houses have been built, one primary school is open and the secondary school is due to open in September 2025. [5]
