Description

5 Hillhouse Farm Steadings is an attractive stone built home, part of a wider hamlet of about eight properties. Number 5 occupies the southeast corner of the courtyard and from the garden there are superb views north. The front door is approached from within the courtyard and opens into a hallway. The sitting room is to the west side of the property and is dual aspect. There are two double bedrooms, also located off the hallway, along with a bathroom positioned centrally. The kitchen is to the east end the of the house and there is plenty of space here for a dining table. There is also a door to the private garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditionally styled units and there are skylights which allow lots of natural light into the room.

The lovely private garden is off the kitchen and has a gate out to the front of the property. The garden has raised beds and is mainly down to paving stones allowing for easy maintenance. There are further gardens to the north of the property within the shared courtyard.

Across from the house is a generous garage and above is a studio room which could serve as additional storage or alternative uses such as an office for home working, or a hobby room.
