The Property
Older Hill Kennels is a detached house situated in a peaceful location amidst Woolbeding National Trust common land which provides an exceptional backdrop and access to amazing walks and countryside. The original cottage is built of stone with clay tile roof with little changed since it was built, but has potential to improve and extend STPP.

The main entrance to the house leads to a generous entrance hall which provides access to the newly built Annexe and studio. The Annexe was built in 2019 and consists of a spacious kitchen / living room with a built in double oven, base and wall units, and inbuilt bookshelves. Adjacent to the kitchen / living room is a generous shower room and a double bedroom. The Annexe benefits from its own courtyard garden. The Annexe accommodation has been consented on the basis that it is to be occupied: ‘Solely for purposes ancillary to the use of Older Hill Kennels as a dwelling and shall not be used as a separate unit of accommodation.’

On the other side of the entrance hall are two art studios which could be incorporated with the main cottage or the annexe. The cottage is approached through a separate entrance hall which leads to the dual aspect kitchen / breakfast with a range of base and wall units. The kitchen leads to a timber framed lean to which provides dry access to the workshop. To the front of the cottage, there are two reception rooms with wood-burning stoves. A shower room completes the ground floor. The first floor consists of two double bedrooms with amazing views and two single rooms.
