Having been a well loved home by the previous owner, Hilton Farm is now ready for new occupants to come and enjoy what it has to offer, while making it their own. Believed to date from the 1740s, this handsome property sits in a slightly elevated position, allowing it to take in the glorious outlook towards the Pennines and Lake District. Furthermore, the accommodation sits over two floors and briefly comprises entrance/sun porch, a sizeable reception room housing both a welcoming living area to one end and a dining area to the other, and an inner hallway giving access to the recently installed kitchen and a utility area and shower room. To the first floor there are three well proportioned double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a three piece family shower room, all enjoying lovely views over open countryside.
Externally, when facing Hilton Farm, the former dairy adjoins the property on the left with the former stables, with workshop above, and cooling house lying to the right. All of this is complemented by the generous established gardens, extending from the rear of the property, to the side and front, and lower level area as an orchard.
