Donhead St. Andrew, Wiltshire, SP7

Originally two cottages, Hillview was converted into one around 1931, and in the 1980’s a stone extension was added creating an L shape. Hillview is situated in an elevated position with a spectacular southerly outlook over the Donheads towards Win Green. The cottage has been imaginatively extended over the years and offers versatile and adaptable accommodation over two floors. From the hall, stairs lead down to the kitchen and sitting room, both of which are well proportioned rooms leading into the dining room. There is an additional access at ground floor level which could create a self -contained annex on the ground floor incorporating the snug/study and work room. Recent works have included the upgrade of the en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom, the downstairs shower room and to the kitchen. Other attributes include oak flooring in the sitting room, direct pressure water system and double glazing throughout. The kitchen is well appointed with stone worktops, and a halogen induction hob; in addition, the property has LPG central heating and hot water.
The property is approached from the lane onto a gravelled car parking and turning area adjoining which are two attached single garages with separate up and over doors. The upper garden is terraced with a fruit cage. A path and steps lead to the front door flanked on either side by well stocked flower and shrub borders including roses, hydrangeas and geraniums. Accessed from French windows in the kitchen there is an attractive sitting area overlooking the rear garden which is to lawn. From the rear, steps lead down to the currently un-cultivated area of sloping land. There is a former studio at the bottom of this area which is in poor condition, but has a sound concrete base. Hillview sits in about 0.55 of an acre.

Services: Mains water, electricity, LPG for central heating and hot water and private drainage.
