Description
The architectural merit of the house is immediately apparent on arrival. Attractive rendered elevations, surmounted by a rosemary tile roof, create a home of timeless appeal, rich in original character and craftsmanship. This sense of quality and charm continues throughout the interior, where the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to create a home that is both elegant and practical, with the principal rooms designed to make the most of the exceptional outlook.
At the heart of the home, the lounge is a beautifully proportioned principal reception room, centred around a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove and enjoying delightful views over the gardens and beyond. Complementing this is the garden room, an inviting and informal space with double doors opening onto the raised patio, perfectly positioned for indoor-outdoor living and for simply enjoying the changing seasons and far-reaching views. The dining room provides an excellent formal entertaining space, enhanced by a charming Arts and Crafts fireplace that pays homage to the home’s heritage.
The dining kitchen is generous in scale and fitted with a range of handcrafted units, with an AGA providing both warmth and character. Integrated appliances, a useful utility room and a downstairs WC add practicality, while the welcoming entrance hall, with its wood-panelled walls and leaded glazing, sets the tone for the character and quality found throughout the house.
To the first floor, the accommodation comprising four bedrooms, including three comfortable double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom or study, offering flexibility for modern family living. The three principal bedrooms each retain attractive original features, including fireplaces and fitted furniture, while the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room. A family bathroom and separate WC complete the first-floor accommodation.
Outside, a generous driveway provides ample parking and is framed by lawned areas, mature beds and established planting, while a detached oak-framed carport offers additional parking and incorporates an exceptionally useful home office or guest suite above, with a shower room, making it ideal for remote working or visiting guests.
The rear gardens are undoubtedly a particular highlight, forming a beautiful setting for the house and designed to take full advantage of the exceptional outlook. Extending away from the property and principally laid to lawn, the gardens are bordered by mature planting and complemented by a delightful Yorkstone terrace, creating a wonderful space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the far-reaching views.
Further enhancing the property is a useful cellar, arranged as two separate chambers together with a further WC, providing valuable ancillary storage space.
Hill Cottage is a home of genuine distinction, combining architectural pedigree, original character, generous gardens and truly stunning views, all within convenient proximity of the village.
