Description - Kirby Hill House is a superb village residence dating back to the 1830s which was originally the village Vicarage. Grade II listed, this impressive residence has been skilfully extended and updated by the current owner who has created a superb home perfect for families. The property seamlessly combines the modern additions of the extended living-dining-kitchen and beautiful replacement bathrooms, with the spectacular original features that a house of this quality offers. More recently, the updating of the sitting room has created a space which equally lends itself to a children’s playroom. The grandeur of the formal reception rooms certainly adds to the wow factor. The converted Coach House offers further, delightful accommodation which is currently used for additional residential use and could equally be an income producing holiday let.
