5 bedroom detached house

Harford Hill House is a prominent country residence believed to have origins dating back about 300 years, that has been in the same family since 1977 and has been well maintained and improved during their ownership. It is in an enviable position offering exceptional far-reaching countryside views. The light, well presented and spacious accommodation features leaded windows, exposed beams, traditional doors and a superb staircase.

From the quaint lychgate, a paved path winds its way across the front garden to the large solid traditional front door. It opens to a vestibule with an inner door opening to the multi-level reception hall with flagstone flooring, a door to the cloakroom and a fine period turning staircase with carved balusters.

The large drawing room has solid oak flooring and the focal point to the room is the working fireplace with a sandstone surround. A door from the drawing room opens to the sitting room with traditional wood flooring and a multi-fuel wood burner set on a tiled hearth.

The spacious dining room is conveniently located next to the fitted kitchen that has solid wood worktops, a Belfast sink, a Leisure electric range cooker and French doors opening to a southerly facing paved terrace. The kitchen is complemented by a utility room/pantry with shelving and space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer.

A short inner hallway extends from the kitchen to the side entrance door and off this hallway is a door to a useful boiler/boot room.

Upstairs is a large galleried landing with bay window seating which could serve as a study landing. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, one of which has a feature fireplace and is served by a modern family bathroom with a shower bath.
A staircase rises to two second floor double bedrooms, one of which features characterful exposed timber frame and both have vaulted ceilings. They are served by a modern shower room.

A further staircase rises to a third second floor double bedroom that is currently used as a study.

The long shared private road leads to parking at the side of the house and there is also a single garage with double doors and attached wood store. A further building on the opposite side of the drive offers space for garden or vehicular storage.

From the lychgate, attractive wrought iron double gates open to the large lawned southerly facing garden, that allows the all-day sunshine to be enjoyed along with the wonderful uninterrupted countryside views. There are mature trees within the boundary of the property, along with planted borders containing perennial and evergreen plants providing all year round interest and colour. At the rear of the house is a gravel terrace and area of lawn.
