Old Hill is a handsome Grade II* listed farmhouse, which has origins understood to date back to 1560 and offers immense character and charm in a wonderful position. The current owners have researched the history of the house, which is available on request.

It is in a private and peaceful position with wonderful far-reaching countryside views and offers a host of original features including inglenook fireplaces, flagstone flooring, quarry tiled flooring, exposed beams and floorboards, moulded cornicing, ornate door surrounds, panelled doors and high ceilings.

The front door opens to the entrance hall with a turning staircase to upstairs. There is also a rear boot room with a side entrance door and a door to the cloakroom.

Reception rooms include a drawing room with a working fireplace, sitting room/dining room with an inglenook fireplace and a door leading to the study/snug that also enjoys a fine inglenook fireplace.

The fitted kitchen has granite worktops, a Belfast sink and appliances include an LPG fired AGA, electric Rangemaster cooker, integrated dishwasher and there is space for an American fridge freezer. Off the kitchen is a utility room with space and plumbing for a separate washing machine and tumble dryer, along with space for further appliances.

Upstairs are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. One of the bedrooms, which in the past was understood to be known as the Great Chamber, has a large brick fireplace with a high level wooden mantlepiece. Two of the further double bedrooms have en suite shower rooms.

All other bedrooms are served by the superb and particularly large family bathroom that includes a feature Victorian fireplace. It is fitted with mellow coloured stone tiles and includes an open wet room style shower and a claw foot, double ended roll top bath

In addition to the living accommodation is a large loft with potential (subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents) and a cellar accessed via an external door.

Gardens and grounds
The south and west facing gardens and land extend in all to approximately 3.92 acres and benefit from wonderful far-reaching countryside views.

A five bar gate opens to gravel parking for several cars in front of the double garage and main entrance to the house.

The south facing, part walled gardens extend to approximately just over 1 acre with an expanse of lawn leading to the heated outdoor swimming pool. The handsome southern elevation overlooks these gardens and has a magnificent mature wisteria and doors that open to the paved terrace that offers a perfect spot for al fresco dining whilst taking in the all-day sunshine.

At the rear of the house is a charming pergola and the entrance to the cellar.
On the eastern side of the house is a manège with a rubber and sand surface and a stable block offering three loose boxes, hay store and a tack room. There is a right of way over the neighbouring farm track to access the gardens via double five-bar gates adjacent to the stable block.
The land extends to about 2.82 acres and is arranged as four paddocks enclosed by post and wire fencing including a copse and horse field shelter.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
