Hill View Farm is an exceptional grade II listed former Farmhouse of grand proportions. Surrounded by open farmland and un spoilt countryside with a backdrop of undulating hills, this exceptional property enjoys a generous established plot of approximately 1.75 acres. The grounds include formal gardens, a productive fruit/vegetable garden, mature orchard and level paddock of approx one acre, on which sits a substantial garage/barn and stable with tack room. Behind the somewhat unassuming, yet attractive red brick façade of this distinctive family home you will find a sleek, stylish and modern interior that has been thoughtfully updated and beautifully appointed to sensitively retain many period features. Flexible and versatile in arrangement with all the creature comforts of living in the twenty first centaury, the accommodation briefly comprises; four double bedrooms (master en-suite) family bathroom, three separate receptions, plus fabulous kitchen, utility and study with home office/gym.
