THE PROPERTY
Approached via a gravelled driveway through impressive timber gates to either side, opening to a spacious gravel driveway before leading to the garaging and delightful south facing gardens. Hillcrest, believed to date to the 1800s, is a charming and stylish stone house with deceptively light and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. Access to the property can be gained via the formal front entrance or more conveniently from the gravelled parking area to the side. The reception rooms radiate from the entrance with a bespoke glass and timber open tread staircase rising to the first-floor accommodation. During the refurbishment of the property, underfloor heating has been installed throughout, and works have been undertaken to update the services, alongside adding a generous extension to the rear. The drawing room has an engineered oak flooring throughout and a feature fireplace with log burner keeps the room cosy through the winter evenings, and through a cleverly concealed entrance there is access to a useful study and cloakroom from the hall.

The newly created open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining area is a recent addition, designed and created with Naked Kitchens of Fakenham, bringing light into the room through large patio doors framed in anthracite grey, which open onto the gardens beyond. The stylish kitchen benefits from a central island with ample granite worksurfaces throughout with floor and wall mounted units. There is an integrated Gaggenau oven and induction hob, further integrated appliances include fridge, freezer, and dishwasher.

The first-floor benefits from oak flooring throughout, with the principal bedroom being light and airy, enjoying views over the garden. The principal bedroom has a well-equipped en-suite bathroom, with sanitaryware by Water Monopoly, Watermark Collection taps and shower, and there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The established gardens are extensive and wrap around the property. Leading from the kitchen dining area is a delightful patio area with water feature. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and hornbeam. The gardens are planted with a variety of trees including apple, plum and pear. The land extends in all to about 0.75 acre.

The detached garage benefits from a room over which has wash hand basin and w/c which could be a useful further office or studio, or subject to the necessary consents, might make an ideal annexe. There is ample gravelled parking beyond the gated entrance. There is a separate brick and tile outhouse which has planning permission (WND/2022/0157) for utility/gym or further store room.
