Versatile house with two annexes between Stock and Galleywood.


Description

The house is situated on an elevated position with far-reaching views to the front over open countryside and enjoying a large plot with established gardens to the rear. Hillcrest provides versatile accommodation, designed for multi-generational living, having two annexes which could be amalgamated into the main dwelling or used for family and guests.

A hallway is situated at the centre of the property and includes a cloakroom. It is flanked on one side by an annexe and the other by a spacious sitting room with fireplace and woodburner, overlooking the gardens to the front. At the rear is a comprehensively fitted kitchen anchored around a peninsula breakfast bar, with an adjoining dining room. Both overlook the gardens.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, a cloakroom and a bathroom.

Self-contained annexe (north)
This is located on the ground floor, with its own independent access, and access from within the property. The accommodation offers a sitting room and a dining room with double doors into a conservatory. At the centre of the annexe a lobby and shower room lead into a bedroom with fitted wardrobes. A fitted kitchen is located at the front and is adjacent to the dining room. This provides the possibility of opening the two rooms, creating a spacious open-plan area.

Second annexe (south)
This provides two floors of accommodation. The ground floor has a large open-plan kitchen/living room with folding doors into the garden. Beyond, at the rear, is a bedroom with en suite shower room. On the first floor is a large bedroom and en suite bathroom. This annexe could, with minimal work, be incorporated into the main dwelling.

Outside
A long drive passes a large swathe of lawn and a mature willow tree to a parking area in front of the house. There is a gated parking area between the house and garage. The north annexe has a segregated private courtyard and garden area with a summerhouse. The principle garden has access from the south annexe and the house. The garden is predominantly lawned, with a productive vegetable patch and a terrace for summer dining.

Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. Air-source heating to main house and south annexe. Electric storage heaters to north annexe. Solar panels with a feed-in tariff.
