Property

Entering through the wood composite door, one enters the hallway with oak wooden flooring underfoot and the kitchen directly ahead. The light and spacious kitchen has windows to the rear and side letting in ample light and allowing stunning views of the garden. The kitchen has an integrated oven and space for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer with wall and base units throughout and has a floor to ceiling support which acts as an island to the kitchen, with an integrated hob included. Off from the kitchen is a utility room with a sink and base units and a back door leading to the front of the property, giving access to the side and rear of the property. Off of the utility room is a small boiler room where the boiler is housed and meters for the solar panels can be found. The boiler room was previously a downstairs WC and equally, still has the plumbing in place to revert this back to a WC.



Leading on from the hallway into the dining room one is met with a spacious room with a fire place and serving hatch between the kitchen and dining room and French doors leading out to the garden. This room would be ideal for socialising and leads into a snug room with fireplace and large windows letting in light making for a perfect entertaining space.



From the ground floor and heading down the stairs one is brought to a reception room large enough in size and with its own access to be converted into an annex floor or separate dwelling. Windows to both sides of the room allow light to flow in and a wood burner creates a homely and cosy feel to the room.



From the right of the hallway is a staircase which leads to two extra floors above and a floor below. Heading up the stairs to a landing, is a large double bedroom which is carpeted underfoot with ample space for furniture and storage within the room and equipped with a large en-suite bathroom, with views to the front of the property overlooking the stables and horses opposite. On from the landing to a further right, is a shower room consisting of toilet, wash basin and square shower enclosure and to a further right one is lead to another double bedroom which is large in size with windows overlooking the parking and porch of the property. This room offers ample space with a large cupboard which includes the flu from the wood burner situated on the lower ground floor.



Back onto the landing and up a few more stairs leads to another large, bright double bedroom with double glazed windows overlooking lovely views of the garden. Opposite this room is the master suite, a considerable sized bedroom with dressing area and large en-suite bathroom. The two south facing windows have excellent views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. The bedroom and dressing area have built in wardrobes and fitted carpet throughout.



Outside

True to its name; Hill farm is situated along a private track and up a hill where one is led to a tarmac pad with ample parking and a barn situated to the left. The track is adjacent to a beautiful stable where horses roam the fields opposite. The barn is a vast space perfect for wood store, storage, socialising or conversion into a separate dwelling (STP), with power throughout. Adjacent to the parking is the raised front porch leading into the property and side access to the patio area, looking out onto the garden where a variety of fruit trees such as, apples, gooseberry's and pears can all be found. The garden extends further round the side and front of the property leading further still to the water pump and well for the property. Spectacular views surround the property and create a real sense of rural living.
