House For Sale £795,000
A rare opportunity to purchase a “gem” of a cottage packed full of character with potential to extend subject to any consents with a beautiful well-established garden in 0.9 acres in an elevated position and
easy access to woodland walks.
Hillside is a detached house believed to have been built in 1866 of stone elevations under a pitched tiled roof. There is character and charm throughout with the current owners having sympathetically restored and renovated over the last 25 years or so.
The front door opens into the porch with a door to the dining room which is a lovely room with a flagstone floor and oil fired Rayburn. An arch opens into the kitchen which also has a flagstone floor and a range of wooden wall mounted and floor standing units, dual aspect, wooden worksurfaces and Belfast sink. The sitting room is an extremely cosy room with brick and stone fireplace, wood burning stove and flagstones. At the back of the house there is a study off the rear hall and a cloakroom with wc, basin as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
From the hall stairs rise to the first floor landing where there are three bedrooms and a large bathroom with the main bedroom and the bathroom having views over the garden.
To the front of the property there is a gravelled area with parking for several cars. The garden is a complete delight and very well established as a cut flower garden with a large area at the rear with flower beds, poly tunnels, green house, vegetable patch - a gardeners' paradise. There is a lawned area protected by hedging nearer to the house along with a patio is to the side. The property sits in a elevated position with woodland opposite and direct access to footpaths towards Stourhead and Alfred's Tower.
