Originally two separate farm cottages, thought to date back to the 1780s, Hillside has been seamlessly transformed into a single, expansive family home through an extensive programme of renovation and extension. Set on a generous plot of approximately one acre (subject to measured survey), and enjoying a peaceful edge-of-village location, this handsome property offers flexible accommodation, ideal for modern family living or multigenerational use.
The home boasts seven bedrooms, two reception rooms, an open plan kitchen/dining/family room and a large games room complete with bar – making it perfectly suited for both everyday comfort and entertaining on a grand scale. A selection of outbuildings, including a garage, workshop, and former stables, further enhance the property’s potential, offering scope for conversion to additional accommodation, office space, or studio use (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Interior
On arrival, you are welcomed by a bright and spacious entrance hall that flows effortlessly into the central hallway, providing access to the two principal reception rooms. Both feature large bay windows and attractive fireplaces, combining period charm with natural light and generous proportions.
To the rear lies the heart of the home – an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. Fitted with contemporary units, granite worktops, and a central island with breakfast bar, this bespoke kitchen offers a perfect blend of style and practicality. A large bay with French doors opens directly onto the rear patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Underfloor heating extends through the kitchen and adjoining utility/boot room, which offers further storage, laundry space, and external access.
From the utility, a door leads into the sizeable games room – large enough for a full-sized snooker table and featuring a built-in bar area, ideal for entertaining family and friends.
Upstairs, the first floor provides seven bedrooms. The principal suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms benefit from their own en suites, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom.
Exterior
The property is approached via a gated gravel driveway leading to a substantial forecourt with ample parking. The drive continues around the house to the rear, where it accesses the large garage, workshop, and former stable block – all offering exciting possibilities for further development (STPP).
The gardens are impressive - to the front, a wide lawn bordered with mature hedge and brick wall offer privacy and curb appeal. To the rear, the garden features open lawns, mature trees, a small orchard, and far-reaching countryside views. Whether relaxing, gardening, or entertaining outdoors, this is a superb space to enjoy.
