Description
Hill Cottage is a charming, characterful family home which offers substantial and flexible accommodation incorporating a fully self-contained annexe wing. Beautifully presented and generously proportioned throughout, the accommodation extends in all to around 2,379 sq.ft. and is accompanied by superb gardens.
At the heart of the home there is a lovely, hand-painted bespoke kitchen/dining room, the perfect place for family and friends to gather. This leads to a family/games room and an adjoining sitting room with a cosy wood burner and outlook across the garden. There is a separate study at the far end of the house and off the kitchen there is internal access to the annexe. To the first floor there are four bedrooms, a large family bathroom and a separate WC. The luxurious family bathroom is fitted with a roll-top bath and separate shower unit.
The annexe is an excellent addition and has been designed as a wholly self-contained wing complete with its own front door and private garden. An internal door links the annexe to the main house and therefore it could alternatively be used as an extension to the principal accommodation. Arranged over one floor, the annexe extends to around 400 sq.ft. comprising a kitchen/dining room, double bedroom, and a shower room. A rear door leads to the secluded garden area which has a good degree of privacy and has been laid mostly as a social patio seating area coupled with a large timber summerhouse and hot tub area.
Hill Cottage is set amongst a very pretty cottage style garden arranged to the front with a sizable lawn and stone-built sheds at the far end. A layby located across the lane opposite the cottage provides off-street parking.
