With origins dating back to the 16th century, Hillside Farm House is a property that oozes both character and charm. The property retains a number of its original features including a number of exposed timber beams which run throughout. The current vendors have sympathetically improved and modernised this lovely home, creating the perfect fusion of old and new, something that will surely appeal to the most discerning purchaser. There are so very few houses currently for sale with such history in the immediate area, so an early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. The property also benefits from a Solar Thermal System.



As you approach the property you will see that there is an electric timber gate that opens to a shared drive. To the front of Hillside Farm House there is parking for at least two cars. There is a step down to a path which leads to both ends of the property and the front door. On entering you find yourself in the open plan kitchen/diner. To the right hand side you will see a central island with a granite worktop which incorporates a Zanussi hob with Bosch extractor over and storage below. There are two additional granite worktops one of which has a stainless steel sink within. There are various appliances including a single oven, a Smeg combination microwave, a Bosch dishwasher and a Hotpoint washing machine. To the ceiling there are two glass panes that allow natural light to enter the room. If storage is required then you will not be disappointed by the number of cupboards available. The space adjacent to the kitchen can be used for informal dining or as a relaxed seating area. There is an exposed brick feature fire place at the far end with an impressive timber mantle above. To the other side of the kitchen is a utility area and cloakroom with a set of doors which open to an enclosed courtyard.



Moving down the corridor you enter the formal dining room. At the centre of the room there is substantial log burner with an exposed brick surround which is extremely impressive and perfect for the colder winter months. Beyond is the main living room which has a modern gas fire at its heart. There is a window which provides views over the lawned garden and an opening which leads into the family sized conservatory. The conservatory can be used all year round as it has been fitted with blinds and radiators. A set of doors can be opened to provide access to the second garden area.



To the first floor there are three double bedrooms. The master bedroom not only benefits from built in wardrobes but has an en-suite comprising of a corner shower, hand basin with storage below, low level w/c and a chrome heated towel rail. A stunning family bathroom comprising of a freestanding egg shaped bath, large walk in double shower with rainfall shower head, hand basin, low level w/c and chrome heated towel rail completes the internal accommodation.



Externally there are gardens to both ends of the property. One side has been designed to be low maintenance as it is fully paved with raised flower beds to one side. There is a fish pond at its centre, a lovely feature and a timber garden shed in one corner. To the other end of the property the garden has a patio seating area, lawn, various mature trees and shrubs. There is a cost of £125 p.a for the maintenance of the shared areas to the front.
