The attractive alterations and updating have imaginatively combined the character of the cottage with contemporary living. The interior is light and has a warm and friendly atmosphere, with all rooms having a lovely open rural view either to the south or north. There are oak floors, tongue and groove oak doors, exposed roof trusses, an inglenook fireplace, exposed stone walls and a log burning stove in the sitting room and in the reception hall.
In 2007, adjoining two storey outbuildings were converted to provide additional accommodation and more recently in 2023, the kitchen was redesigned and extended to provide a superb open plan bespoke breakfast kitchen with a conservatory style dining room with atrium roof, opening to the garden, with wonderful views. Integrated appliances include induction hob, double oven, dishwasher and sink with hot water tap. Off the breakfast kitchen is a preparation kitchen with matching units and a walk-in cabinet larder.
The comfortable sitting room, study and family room all have stunning views to the south, and the breakfast kitchen/dining room has an extensive open view to Crook Peak on the Mendip Hills.
An oak staircase rises to the first floor with superb views from all rooms. The principal bedroom, with oak floor and exposed roof trusses, has a concealed walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms and a bath/shower room.
Hill View is approached through double farm gates and over a drive providing parking for several cars, which leads to the detached two storey barn.
The gardens lie principally to the west, north and east of the house all with extensive open unspoilt views. There are large expanses of level lawn, an ornamental pond and beds planted with a variety of shrubs for all year round colour. Trees intersperse the lawn, and include Ash, Walnut, Pear and Bay. Immediately outside the dining room are paved areas with stunning open views, ideal for entertaining. To the west of the drive is a kitchen garden with four raised beds. Beyond is a mixed orchard which includes apple, pear, cherry and plum. enclosed by mature hedgerow.
Adjoining the rear garden and orchard is a level paddock, the total land is 3.22 acres. The open views are superb and look over miles of farmland to the Mendip Hills.
The Barn
The detached Barn is two storey. It had planning permission from Somerset council to convert, as a whole, with access through the orchard, into a two/three bedroom dwelling with living accommodation on the ground floor. This planning permission lapsed in 2022.
Currently, the ground floor of the barn is used as secure garden machinery storage and general stores. On the first floor are three rooms and a former shower room (not connected). This floor has potential for conversion into a home office or holiday let, subject to any planning consents.
