House For Sale £850,000
Dating from the late 20th century, Hill House is a well-proportioned family house built of pale composite stone under a slate roof. It has an east-west axis and is set in a good-sized garden, has ample parking and backs onto and overlooks miles of unspoilt countryside. It has a wonderful feeling of light open space with a central reception hall, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room and two generously sized reception rooms.
Upstairs are five bedrooms, of which one currently serves as an office plus two bath/shower rooms. The bedrooms all have far-reaching views and the main bedroom has its own, ensuite shower room.
Hill House is approached via a tarmac driveway that leads to a sizeable tarmac parking area in front of the house with space for several cars. The garden is designed to be easily maintained and consists of a lawn that extends out from the house to effectively surround it. A wide, deep paved terrace extends out from the southern end of the house providing a lovely spot for entertaining and outside dining in fine weather.
Agent's Note: Hill House shares use of the access drive for part of its length with the adjacent Old Vicarage and similarly with a footpath. Hill House (and Wayside adjacent) form part of a wider property disposal of the former Bruton School for Girls property at Sunny Hill all held in the same
ownership.
