Description
Description
Lying to the north of the village, Hill Grounds commands a rural position with lovely views. The property is of part stone and part render construction under Stonesfield slate, tile and flat roofs.
The house over its lifetime has been substantially extended and altered to provide extensive accommodation laid out predominately on the ground floor.
The house has been owned by the same family since the early 1980s and this is therefore the first time on the market since then.
It is fair to say the property is now in need of comprehensive modernisation. Various period features exist including open fireplaces, window seats, exposed timbers and exposed stone walling.
Key attributes to note are the generous ceiling heights and extensive south-facing windows, resulting in light and airy rooms particularly the sitting room and library; generous reception/dining hall; former ground floor integral flat providing versatile accommodation; principal bedroom suite on the first floor with a lovely vista out to the east and south; ample storage; useful rear lobby and boot room area; UPVC double glazing.
OUTSIDE:
From the village, Hill Grounds is approached along its own partly tree lined tarmac driveway which leads to a five bar metal gate to a parking and turning area accommodating four cars to the front of the house. The house sits fairly centrally within extensive landscaped gardens with lawned areas, numerous flowering borders and beds, various mature trees, various fruit trees, rose pergola and walkway. A paved area lies to the south of the house perfect for entertaining. To the east of the garden a lovely mature yew hedge divides the garden from the 6 acres of paddock grazing. Fruit cages and vegetable garden. Hard tennis court (in need of repair and resurfacing).
Range of traditional and modern outbuildings including delightful stone garden and wood stores; greenhouse; 2 bay secure garage. Two bay steel frame storage barn with light, power and water connected. Further woodstores. Timber stabling comprising two stables, hay store and lean-to stores. Enough stabling and paddock to accommodate around 4 horses/ponies.
The land extends to about 38 acres the majority of which is down to permanent pasture or arable with the remainder down to woodland. Paddocks are served by mains water. The grazing is stock proof fenced. The woodland areas lie to the eastern boundary. There is a further tree plantation just across the driveway to the west.
