Hill House, Southwell

A simply stunning two bedroom apartment in an exquisite Grade II Listed Georgian property in one of the most sought after locations in Southwell.

Bursting with character, this extraordinary apartment sits on the first floor of Hill House, an impressive property that was built in 1800 for Reverend John Thomas Becher.

This apartment is a truly beautiful space which elegantly showcases the Georgian heritage of the property whilst still feeling fresh and contemporary. It is filled with an abundance of natural light which floods in from the original sash windows with wooden shutters that are in every room. The traditional grandeur of the high ceilings with moulded cornice detail is complemented by the herringbone wood effect floor which adds a contemporary feel to this home.

There is a generous sized sitting room with dual aspect sash windows to the side and rear with breathtaking views over the expansive gardens and grounds. The kitchen, which has been painted in a soft heritage colour palette, benefits from the same spectacular view and has plenty of cabinet storage and space for a table. The perfect spot to sit with your morning coffee and take in the view.

There are two spacious bedrooms, both with en-suites, with the potential to create a third bedroom by dividing the largest of the two. There is a separate garage with ample parking as well as a shared cellar and loft storage. There is also lift access to the apartment.

This charming property sits in an elevated position within the gardens and grounds, which wrap from the rear to the side of the house, with sprawling lawns, a host of flora and fauna and coveted views of Southwell and the Minster. The house and gardens are maintained by the property’s management company with costs covered by the annual service charge.

A fabulous location: Southwell is right on your doorstep with the town centre just a short walk away. This really is a rare opportunity to own a special property in the heart of a wonderful town.
