Wonderful family house set within a beautiful acre garden, with two-storey outbuilding and ample off-street parking

Description

Hillcote is an impressive 1950’s family house set within a beautiful acre garden with mature trees scattered around the boundary creating a lovely sense of privacy. The house is wonderfully positioned just moments from the Cotswold Way with Cam Peak in the backdrop.

Accessed via electric iron gates there is plenty of parking for several cars on the paved driveaway to the east of the house, as well as a gravel area behind the outbuilding for further parking.

The main entrance takes you in to the hallway, where the reception rooms flow seamlessly from one to the other. The Sitting Room is a beautiful generous space with triple aspect views, a large fireplace and French doors out to the veranda.

The Office, currently set up with a large desk in the middle of the room, makes for a great home office but would equally lend itself well to a Snug/ TV Room with a fireplace to arrange sofas and furniture around. The Office leads through, via double doors, to the Conservatory which is a fantastic space with 180 degree views out across the garden and doors out to a patio terrace.

The Kitchen/ Dining Room really is the heart of the house, 28 feet long, its generous size allows for plenty of space for homework and teatimes or cooking and entertaining. The perfect room for bustling family life as well as hosting.

With ample storage, worktop space, integrated dishwasher and Belfast sink along the south side of the Kitchen, the AGA is conveniently positioned in the middle with windows either side offering views out across the garden. The full size fridge freezer is built-in with storage surrounding. In the middle of the Kitchen is a wonderful island with further storage and a breakfast bar.

With French doors out to the patio terrace, al fresco dining is made easy for those long summer days. The Utility is conveniently positioned off the kitchen, with its own entrance it lends itself well a a boot/ dog room after muddy walks.

The first floor comprises of four good double bedrooms, all of which have built-in storage and double aspect views.

Bedrooms 1 & 2 are larger with en-suite shower rooms, there is a family bathroom on the landing for the other two bedrooms.


OUTSIDE
There is two-storey outbuilding; on the ground floor to the front is a generous double garage with separate pedestrian access. To the rear are two rooms, a WC and stairs leading up to the first floor. Upstairs the space runs the entire length of the outbuilding, with full head height in the middle. The downstairs rooms and upstairs offer potential to convert into ancillary accommodation, subject to usually planning consents.

The garden wraps around the entire house but is larger and predominately to the South and West of the house. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs scattered around the garden including two beautiful willow trees and a lily pond.

Walking nearby is fantastic with the Cotswold Way just 6 minutes’ walk away taking you East up to Cam Peak and beyond.
