House For Sale £895,000
Hilltop is believed to date back to 1758 and once belonged to the Popham Estate before being sold off in 1917. It was extended in the 1980's and again in the 1990's before the present owners purchased the property in 1996. There is scope to further extend, subject to any necessary planning consent.
The position of Hilltop is superb. It is situated towards the top of Cocker's Hill, adjoining farmland, and has extensive views over unspoilt undulating countryside. It is about .75 mile south west of the centre of the village.
The charming interior has been well maintained and all rooms have lovely extensive views. The sitting room is a particularly atmospheric and well proportioned room with a stone fireplace and chimney breast fitted with a log burning stove, beamed ceiling and window seats. The breakfast kitchen is well fitted, and integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, and a Belling range cooker. The dining room overlooks and opens onto the garden. On the first floor, a split staircase leads to two bedrooms at the front of the cottage and the family bath/shower room, two bedrooms, one with en suite w.c. at the rear of the cottage. The views are superb.
Hilltop is approached through double wrought iron gates giving access to a gravel parking area in front of a detached stone and tile garage with adjoining carport and log store. Behind is a timber stable. The drive continues from the gravel area to the side of cottage, providing additional parking.
The peaceful gardens have been most attractively planned and take complete advantage of the stunning and unspoilt views. The front elevation is adorned with a Wisteria and the front lawn has beds planted with shrubs, roses, and lavender.
There is a large expanse of lawn with deep shaped beds and borders planted with a variety of flowering plants and ornamental shrubs. There are stone steps, stone paved areas for entertaining and an ornamental pond with stone paved surround. A variety of trees intersperse the lawn and include a Smoke tree, Willow, Beech, Spruce and Eucalyptus. Fruit trees include Cherry, Cider apple, Russet eating apple and a Bramley. At the bottom of the garden, a gate leads into a small wild meadow or paddock surrounded by mature hedgerow.
