The Property
Hillside is a substantial property occupying an elevated position in extensive gardens. The property offers a fantastic opportunity for interested parties to undertake a renovation project to create a spacious home tailored to personal needs. There is huge potential in the generous accommodation, with scope to retain a number of character features including fireplaces and coloured glass inserts in various windows whilst developing a layout and finish to suit modern lifestyles.

The current configuration provides three large reception rooms across the ground floor with a mix of curved and three-sided bay windows, along with a kitchen and adjoining larder. There is a ground floor study/bedroom supported by a shower room, demonstrating the option for accessible sleeping accommodation if required.

There are five bedrooms arranged across the first floor, all with varying outlooks. The two largest bedrooms each have fireplaces with tiled inserts, and one has a bay window. The bedrooms offer a host of possibilities for large families and for potential reconfiguration, depending on individual requirements.

Externally
Hillside stands in hugely generous gardens and grounds that wrap around three sides of the house. The gardens are well-maintained and slope away gently from the property to accentuate the elevated position. A flagged footpath leads through the lawn to stone steps up to the front door. The lawns are dotted with a variety of plants and shrubs. The lawns continue around to the side where mature trees add shelter. The top of the gardens are a pleasant spot to sit an enjoy a quiet moment.

The gardens extend to the rear with a few steps leading to the upper garden with more open lawns and useful garden stores. There are two garages tucked to one side which add practicality and convenience.
