The Property

Tucked away on the northern edge of the village close to the parish church, Court Hill House has a lovely location with far-reaching southerly views over the surrounding countryside. The layout of the accommodation is highly adaptable with a reception hall providing access to three good reception rooms, in particular a spacious sitting room over 27' in length. All reception rooms have large picture windows to make the most of its impressive views. The nearby kitchen is situated on the northern side of the house. In addition to the principal reception rooms, a lobby leads through to a downstairs bedroom with adjacent shower room. The separate utility room keeps the white goods away from the main living areas of the house and there is also an additional home office and integral garage. It is thought that this part of the house could be adapted to provide an annexe for guests or extended family members if desired, subject to any necessary consents or compliance with building regulations.

On the first floor a spacious landing provides access to three bedrooms including a principal suite with shower room whilst two further bedrooms are served by a nearby bathroom.

Outside

A five bar gate opens on to a gravelled approach to the north of the house with plenty of parking and leading to the integral garage. Mature gardens lie predominantly to the south with a broad terrace running the length of the house and approached by way of doors from the garden room, dining room and utility room. The terrace has far-reaching views and steps lead down to the garden which is laid principally to lawn with a colourful variety of well-established shrubs and a number of trees. A productive vegetable garden lies slightly to the west with nearby greenhouse and shed. In all about 0.4 of an acre.
