Description

Hill Farm is an delightful period property believed to be of late 17th Century origins.

Constructed of Hornton stone below a hipped pitch slate roof, it is located within a Conservation Area on the edge of the village with fine views to the north.

The property offers a wealth of period features including open fireplaces, window seats, exposed timbers, four panel internal doors, flagstone flooring and elegant staircase.

The property has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners, providing excellent modern living amongst its age and charm. The stylish interiors give it a modern twist creating a comfortable family home. Attention to detail includes installation of a modern heating system with new radiators, replacement double glazed sash windows, re-decoration, new flooring and re-carpeting.

Delightful entrance hall at raised ground floor level gives a real sense of arrival. Well-proportioned principal reception rooms offer generous ceiling heights and an aspect over the garden. Bespoke fitted kitchen, marble work surfaces, island unit, wooden flooring and access out onto the entertaining area to the rear. Useful pantry and utility/boot room complement the living accommodation. There is under floor heating to this lower ground floor level.

The house continues to impress with modern fixtures and fittings throughout the bedrooms and bath/shower rooms, all with bespoke white fittings. Guest bedroom on the raised ground floor with en suite shower room and access out on to the garden. Useful study for working from home. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor with the principal bedroom having painted panelling, built in storage/hanging space and en suite shower room. The family bathroom is furnished with a roll top bath on ball and claw feet, set under the window to give a garden view.

To the side of the property is an area of shingle covered off road parking leading to the rear of the property and single garage. The garage has mains electricity and houses the recently installed bio mass boiler.

There are partly walled, and fenced, south facing, terraced gardens to the rear with paved entertaining area, all taking advantage of the southerly aspect. There is a further area of lawn to the front flanked by a beech hedge.

There is access from the garden gate straight into the heart of the village.

This is the finished article – very much modern living amongst the refined Georgian architecture.
