4 bedroom detached house for sale

Hill Cottage is a beautifully modernised and substantially extended detached residence, enjoying far-reaching countryside views. Dating from the early 1900s, the property has been comprehensively renovated by the current owners, with significant works completed in 2010 to create a spacious and contemporary family home. Most rooms enjoy a dual aspect, allowing for an abundance of natural light, with traditional handmade cornicing enhancing the main reception rooms.

A welcoming porch opens into a partly double-height entrance hall with stone flooring and a striking staircase. The hall benefits from useful storage, a WC and cloakroom, while underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor. From the hallway, doors lead to the principal reception rooms.

To the front is an elegant dining room with a bay window, traditional fireplace and sash windows with fitted shutters. Also accessed from the hallway is the main sitting room, an exceptionally generous space with a further bay window and sash windows, a log burner, and a wonderful sense of light and space.

To the rear, the accommodation opens into a superb kitchen/family room extending to over nine metres, designed for modern family living with ample space for seating and dining. The kitchen is fitted with a stunning Neptune kitchen, finished to an outstanding standard, featuring a substantial central island with additional storage, black honed granite work surfaces throughout, a five-ring gas hob, integrated appliances including two single ovens, a steam oven and a microwave, an integrated dishwasher, a wine cooler, and space for an American-style fridge/freezer.

Bi-fold doors open directly onto the terrace and rear garden, seamlessly connecting the interior with the outdoors. A separate utility and boiler room are positioned off the kitchen and benefit from external access.

To the first floor, a large central landing enjoys elevated views to the front, offering spectacular long distance vistas across the countryside. There are four well proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from dual aspects and excellent natural light. The principal bedroom enjoys square proportions and is complemented by a beautifully presented en-suite shower room with a large walk in shower, while the second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are all generous in size and are served by a sleek family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite.

Externally, the property is approached via a driveway running along the right hand boundary of the plot, bordered by a stone wall and mature hedging, providing parking for several vehicles and leading to a double garage with sliding doors. The garage previously benefited from planning permission for reconstruction to include a detached garage with a first floor hobby room above.

The gardens are a particular feature, with a generous front garden planted with a variety of mature shrubs and trees, and a rear garden laid mainly to lawn with established borders and a delightful patio area directly adjoining the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
