Description


Forbes Estates are delighted to present Hill Park Cottage, an exceptional and characterful stone-built Georgian residence (circa 1803), nestled on an enviable corner plot of approximately 0.875 of an acre. Originally the former quarry masters house, this unique home boasts a wealth of original features, outbuildings, and expansive grounds, offering a secluded and idyllic lifestyle in the desirable village of Whittle-le-Woods. The main residence is rich in heritage, with a welcoming entrance porch leading to a spectacular oak-framed vaulted ceiling orangery/garden room, complete with bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect to the garden. This flows beautifully into the open-plan country-style kitchen/diner and family room, featuring original stone flag flooring, exposed wooden beams, a bespoke corner stone sink, a Belfast sink with original drainer, a central kitchen island, and integral appliances. The cosy family space enjoys underfloor heating and a charming French-style wood burner. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor. A stone spiral staircase with a carved timber handrail leads to the first floor, where an ornamental wooden cased book shelf latch door opens into a versatile dining room or potential fourth bedroom, finished with oak flooring, a feature fireplace, and delightful rural views. The principal lounge is warm and inviting, with oak flooring, a cast-iron wood burner stove, and windows that frame open countryside and moorland vistas. A glazed porch leads to traditional stone steps and the front garden pathway. The understairs cupboard houses the oil-fired central heating boiler. To the second floor, the landing offers access to three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, as well as a well-appointed three-piece family bathroom.



Outside, the property continues to impress. The granny annex is a two-storey stone-built structure, offering a modern open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, with stairs to a spacious double bedroom and a large modern wet/shower room. Ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or home office use. Further outbuildings include a stone-built garage, separate workshop, two pony stables with tack and feed rooms, with neighbouring access to grazing and manage ideal for equestrian enthusiasts. The surrounding wrap around gardens are beautifully maintained, enclosed by dry stone walls, feature mature trees, vibrant borders, a tranquil water pond with fountain, and a generous York stone driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. This rare and distinctive home offers charm, flexibility, and countryside elegance, early internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate whats on offer.
