The Property
Hillside is a substantial property occupying an elevated position in extensive gardens. This handsome home offers a fantastic opportunity for interested parties to renovate, update and add a personal touch to a lovely property with generous reception rooms and flexible bedroom accommodation. Character features include attractive fireplaces and coloured glass inserts in various windows throughout the property.
A bay entrance leads to a vestibule and on to the reception hall. To the left is the sitting room with a dual aspect including a curved bay window overlooking the gardens and a formal feature fireplace. Across the hall is the dining room, this time with a three-sided bay window and lots of space for formal entertaining. A striking fireplace has an ornate tiled surround and wooden mantelpiece. An inner hall leads to the third reception room which is the family room that mirrors the sitting room to provide more versatile living space. Also off the inner hall is the kitchen with a range of fitted units and access to the impressive walk-in larder.
In the centre of the house is a study/ground floor bedroom. This is perfect for working from home, or as accessible sleeping accommodation if required. Supporting the use of this room as a bedroom, there is also a ground floor shower room and a separate WC.
There are five bedrooms arranged across the first floor, all with varying outlooks. The two largest bedrooms each have elegant fireplaces with pretty tiled inserts, and one has a beautiful bay window. The bedrooms offer a host of possibilities for large families and for potential reconfiguration, depending on individual requirements.
Externally
Hillside stands in hugely generous gardens and grounds that wrap around three sides of the house. The gardens are well-maintained and slope away gently from the property to accentuate the elevated position. A flagged footpath leads through the lawn to stone steps up to the front door. The lawns are dotted with a variety of plants and shrubs. The lawns continue around to the side where mature trees add shelter. The top of the gardens are a pleasant spot to sit an enjoy a quiet moment.
The gardens extend to the rear with a few steps leading to the upper garden with more open lawns and useful garden stores. There are two garages tucked to one side which add practicality and convenience.
