House For Sale £1,550,000
Formerly the home of the prominent Fisher family, who had commissioned the significant build beyond the original farmhouse Richard Fisher inherited from his aunt Elizabeth Mason in 1800. Over the years the house and lands have been divided up, with the current arrangement of Hill Top comprising five properties.
Accommodation to Hill Top House is extremely generous throughout, benefiting from high ceilings on the ground and first floor, and large windows allowing the rooms to be flooded with light throughout the day. Across the ground floor are plentiful reception rooms, perfect for the use of a modern family; the highlight is the outstanding drawing room, where it is believed Elgar once played, with a working fireplace at its heart. The room provides lovely views over the gardens, and direct access to the sun terrace which runs along the rear of the house, and the elegant conservatory by Bartholomews. Further to the ground floor is a dining room, also with a working fireplace, and notably an expansive dresser, and to the southern end of the house is the kitchen with adjoining garden room. The bespoke kitchen was designed by Mark Wilkinson (the founding designer of Smallbone of Devizes), and features a central island, double ovens, and plentiful storage. Off the entrance hall with its marble-tiled floor is the cloakroom, and down a short set of stairs is a useful utility.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a superb space with built-in storage and a bathroom en suite with a separate bath and shower. This bedroom enjoys attractive garden views. Further to the first floor are three further double bedrooms (one is en suite) and a family bathroom.
Enjoying a generous expanse of lawn and mature borders, this elegant garden is a real highlight of the property featuring numerous trees and plants, including Rhododendron, Laurel hedging and Rose bushes. The property further benefits from a double garage with storeroom above, and a small strip of garden/woodland to its rear.
