5 bedroom detached house for sale

Attractive family home with delightful gardens.

Description

Hill House is a striking and well-presented period property with origins dating back to mid-1890. Set in an elevated position and located on the edge of the charming village of Weston, this beautiful home combines a delightful and cohesive blend of traditional elegance with contemporary twists. The current vendors have sympathetically reconfigured and updated the property over the past decade, whilst ensuring it remains functional for family living.

The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hall that sets precedent for the rest of the property. The reception rooms are generously proportioned and light, offering a drawing room with characterful features including working fireplace, bay window and triple aspect. The dining room has a symmetrical bay window and focal fire place providing a great entertaining space. In addition, there is also a home office which has potential for alternative uses. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen/ breakfast area. Fitted with high end, built in appliances like Miele induction hob, oven and wok burner, steamer, microwave, fridge/ freezer and wine fridge, dishwasher, Butler sink, orange peel granite work surfaces, porcelain tiled floor, log burner, substantial island with seating and ample storage space, it makes for a wonderful social space. The kitchen benefits from a lovely seating area too with a great aspect of the garden and bifold doors providing access outside. Furthermore, the ground floor benefits from a separate utility area, cellar, downstairs cloakroom, boot room and WC.

Stairs at the front of the house lead to the first and second floors. The first floor features the principal bedroom and guest bedroom. The principal bedroom is impressive with its generous size, two dressing areas with built in storage and an en suite shower room. The guest bedroom is also spacious and light and is facilitated by the modern family bathroom. The second floor provides two further bedrooms with storage space, creating further potential and flexible accommodation.

Likewise, stairs to the rear of the house show the way to an integral annexe. With separate outside access, this additional space provides more versatile accommodation and opportunity, with its spacious double bedroom with Juliette balcony and lovely aspect on to the garden, a wet room with modern fixtures and fittings and a sitting room with a wonderful vaulted ceiling and an impressive, expansive window portraying charming views of countryside to the rear.

Outside is utterly delightful. The recently landscaped garden boast a true oasis, incorporating a perfect combination of both entertaining space and lawned area. Private, quiet and enclosed, wonderful views of the surrounding countryside can be appreciated. Peaceful pond and water features can also be enjoyed whilst mature trees, hedging, flowerbeds and raised beds can be admired in abundance. A variety of patio areas also provide a great space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining, whilst thoughtful details of outside lighting create a fantastic ambiance for evening relaxation. Additional space outside includes a generous workshop.

A pretty outlook to the front of the property can also be savoured, with its neat box hedging and statement tree. Here there is ample gravel and paved off road parking, and to the side with secure electric gates.
