Hill Top House commands an elevated position half a mile south of the Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Hill. The house stands at the centre of 35 acres Cotswold (sheep) fields. Panoramic views roll from the principal façade of the main house, extending eastwards over Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire as far as Brailes Hill.
The quality of construction of the main house matches the quality of views. The south wing dates back further, with accommodation on two floors and connections to the main house on both the ground and first floors enables it to serve as additional principal accommodation or separate staff/granny flat. The house is enclosed by gardens while the two stable yards and adjoining paddocks are a convenient distance from the house. Excellent staff accommodation is available in The Bungalow or The Guest House.
On entering the house, one is drawn to the magnificent reception hall which accesses natural light and views from all four compass points.
The warmth of the hearth transitions smoothly to a sunny, south-west facing formal dining room supporting large scale entertaining, and a splendid drawing room also focussed on sunlight, connecting effortlessly to the surrounding nature.
One may later ascend a substantial fine oak staircase rising to a wide landing with doors to the well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom boasts magnificent far reaching easterly views. As well as a 'principal guest bedroom' suite on the first floor, there is a door to library/bedroom three.
The functional rooms are approached along a passageway and and a well-appointed utility/boot room. A lobby and doors lead to the outside. Next to the utility/ boot room is a study/home office. This wing could be reconfigured to create a spacious family kitchen with doors to the garden.
The staircase rises to the second floor where there are four further bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms on this floor have an en suite bathroom or shower room.
Stairs from the rear hall lead to a flat on the first floor comprising a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, WC and box room.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Mature gardens lie principally to the south and east of the house. French doors from the drawing room lead open to a large stone terrace from which one descends to formal lawns surrounded by well-stocked borders. The eastern end of the gardens is punctuated by fine mature trees forming a steep wooded glade around the 'Sheep washing' pond. The kitchen garden with large greenhouse lies to the west. Now largely laid to wild flowers, it will still supply a crop of asparagus.
THE GUEST HOUSE
The Guest House stands at a convenient distance to the north of the house. Formally traditional Cotswold stables, the building was converted into an extremely comfortable three bedroom cottage comprising a sitting room and a dining room. Double doors in the sitting room lead out to a small lawned south-facing courtyard garden. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Adjoining The Guest House is a large Cotswold stone garage.
THE BUNGALOW
The bungalow stands a little to the north of The Guest House with single storey accommodation comprising a sitting room, well-appointed kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
