An outstanding country house with stunning countryside views
Description
Tor Hill House occupies a delightful elevated position close to the thriving Cotswold market town of Wotton-under-Edge, which is tucked away on the southern edge of the Cotswolds. The house is predominantly sheltered to the north by a selection of mature specimen trees, yet to the south and south west, spectacular views span across the, Berkeley Vale, Severn Estuary, The Mendips and Welsh hills beyond, all whilst being set in the fold of the Cotswold escarpment. The immediate countryside is totally unspoilt and forms part of the Cotswold Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The house is accessed via a sweeping drive which leads up to a parking area for plenty of cars. The driveway is flanked by lawn and herbaceous borders, giving a great sense of arrival. the front door opens onto a generous entrance hall off which are the study, cloakroom and into a large and spacious sitting room with stunning views and real feeling of space. This room further opens out into a stunning conservatory which again enjoyed views over the garden and beyond. At the rear of the house is a large kitchen breakfast room with French doors onto a sunny East facing terrace. In addition this floor also has another sitting room and utility room. The house has been thoughtfully designed and the accommodation flows extremely well, lending itself to entertaining plenty of guests. This floor is also home to a pool room which houses a large indoor swimming pool and has double doors onto a south faking terrace for all day sunshine. Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms, five bathrooms and a sauna. In addition there is another useful room which could make the perfect home office.
Due to the houses wonderful elevated position there are a number of stone terraces to the side and front of the house which makes it perfect for outside entertaining, allowing one to take in the surrounding undulating views of the gardens, with its abundance of specimen trees and herbaceous borders. There are various different seating and dining areas to ensure that you can catch the sun and superb views throughout the day and, like the inside of the house, the gardens and terraced areas have been designed for entertaining. The garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn leads up to the rear boundary of the property where there is a large barn which could be perfect for further development subject to the necessary consent.
