Key Features

Hill Farm Cottage is a captivating three-bedroom detached home, believed to date back to the early 20th century and now beautifully restored with an exceptional level of care and craftsmanship. With its handsome gabled façade, stylish open-plan living kitchen, and landscaped gardens extending to around 0.44 acres, this residence strikes the perfect balance between timeless character and modern comfort.

Set back from a secure, gated estate road – used only by neighbouring residents and the local farming community – the property enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion and exclusivity, whilst remaining within easy reach of Southwell, Lowdham, and excellent transport links.

This is a home that will appeal to those in search of rural tranquillity with modern practicality – equally suited to family life, entertaining, or simply embracing the slower pace of village living.

Accommodation

Ground Floor The cottage opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where a traditional staircase rises gracefully to the first floor. Oak-effect flooring, period-style doors, and thoughtful detailing provide an immediate sense of warmth and quality.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan living kitchen – a superbly designed Shaker-style space, complete with bespoke cabinetry, solid oak worktops, a Belfast sink, and a Rangemaster cooker. This room has been planned with modern living in mind, offering ample space for everyday family life and entertaining. Wide bi-fold doors open onto a generous flagstone terrace, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors. From here, far-reaching views across open countryside create a constantly changing backdrop, filling the room with light and atmosphere. Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast in the morning sun, a lively family gathering, or an evening meal beneath the stars, this versatile space is made for year-round enjoyment.

The sitting room offers a more intimate setting, with a Charnwood wood-burning stove set within a traditional fireplace – a perfect spot to unwind on a cosy evening.
A separate snug or study provides valuable flexibility, ideal as a home office or peaceful reading retreat. Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed utility room with matching cabinetry, along with a guest cloakroom.

First Floor

A light-filled galleried landing leads to three generously sized double bedrooms, each benefitting from charming green outlooks. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, offering sweeping views over the surrounding landscape. While the principal bedroom does not feature an en suite, the layout is complemented by both a beautifully fitted family bathroom and an additional shower room – providing comfort and convenience for family or guests alike.
The family bathroom features a bath with shower over, a contemporary vanity unit, WC, underfloor heating, and stylish tiling. The separate shower room includes a walk-in shower, wash basin, WC, and underfloor heating, offering a practical and elegant second bathing option.

Outside

Hill Farm Cottage is approached via a secure, electronically controlled gated entrance onto a private estate road, which also serves as a bridleway. Used only by local residents and the farming community, it ensures both seclusion and a genuine sense of exclusivity.
The gardens extend to approximately 0.44 acres and are beautifully landscaped to create both beauty and practicality. A wide gravelled courtyard provides extensive parking, while the flagstone terrace to the rear of the property is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. Beyond lie sweeping lawns, edged by newly planted hedging and mature trees, with the surrounding farmland ensuring an ever-changing rural outlook throughout the seasons.
