Tanners Lane, Corby Glen, NG33

Space, privacy and a lifestyle already created: Hill House is a fully finished family home set behind electric gates within approx. 0.56 acre of established gardens, with protected land to the rear preserving its open outlook. From the swimming pool and pavilion to the cinema room, outdoor entertaining terrace and far-reaching views, this is a home where every element is already in place for spacious, private and effortless family living.

EPC Rating: D

Contemporary Living

Reimagined and extended from its 1960s origins, Hill House combines the ease of contemporary living with the maturity, separation and seclusion that take years to establish. Five bedrooms, multiple reception spaces and more than 3,000 sq. feet of accommodation provide room for family life to unfold, while the gardens, pool and terraces create a private setting ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive.

Private Arrival

Electric gates open onto a broad driveway, with generous parking and access to the integral double garage. Beyond the sweep of front lawn, the crisp façade of Hill House rises against a backdrop of established trees and open countryside, its double-height glazing and Juliet balcony hinting at the light and scale within. The boundaries here feel settled and private. Lawns, trees and established landscaping soften the edges of the plot, while the protected land beyond the rear garden safeguards the long views and sense of space. Step inside and natural light pours through the tall, double-height window, lifting the entrance hall and illuminating the oak staircase. It is a memorable welcome: contemporary, open and immediately connected to the landscape.

Designed for Life

The contemporary sitting room is designed around family life, changing character easily with the seasons. A bay window draws in the morning light, while a broad side window incorporates a cushioned seat from which to pause and admire the view. To the rear, a glazed corner with bifolding doors opens the room towards the garden and countryside. On cooler evenings, the log-burning stove glows within its brick surround; in summer, the doors fold back and the room becomes part of the terrace beyond. There is space here for everyone to gather without feeling crowded, yet the home’s additional reception rooms mean there is always somewhere quieter to retreat.

Light, Views and East Flow

Flowing naturally from the sitting room, the open-plan dining kitchen is the sociable heart of Hill House. Skylights brighten the dining area, while a second set of bifolding doors frames the fields beyond and opens directly onto the garden. Breakfast can begin with the countryside spread out before you; later, friends can drift between the island, dining table and terrace as the evening light settles over the lawn. At the centre, the substantial island combines preparation space, storage and informal seating. Granite worktops, wooden surfaces and patterned splashbacks add warmth to the contemporary cabinetry, complemented by a Quooker tap and a comprehensive collection of integrated appliances.

Space For Every Generation

Opening from the kitchen, a versatile family room currently serves as a games room, with French doors maintaining the easy relationship between indoors and out. It could just as readily become a playroom, second sitting room or relaxed space for older children - close enough to the kitchen to remain connected, but separate enough to offer independence. For film nights, the dedicated cinema room brings the experience home. Integrated ceiling speakers, a large screen and softly carpeted floor create a cocooning retreat where family and friends can settle in for the evening. A study overlooking the front garden provides privacy for hybrid working, while the arrangement of several reception spaces allows different generations to live comfortably alongside one another. Whether homework is spread across one table, a meeting is underway behind a closed door or a film is playing elsewhere, Hill House has the space to absorb the rhythm of a busy household.

Practical Places

Practical places are equally well considered. The large laundry room provides appliance space, additional refrigeration and direct access to the integral garage, keeping the everyday workings of the home neatly behind the scenes.

Retreat Above

The principal suite enjoys views in both directions. Windows to the rear look across the protected land and rolling countryside, while French doors open onto a private balcony to the side - a peaceful place for morning coffee or a breath of fresh air at the end of the day. A walk-in wardrobe keeps storage organised, while the en suite shower room is finished in calm neutral tones with a broad vanity unit and walk-in shower. Four further bedrooms offer individuality and flexibility. One opens onto its own Juliet balcony and includes a private en suite, creating an inviting guest suite or a degree of independence for an older child. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with generous built-in storage, ensuring the first floor works as comfortably in practice as it does on paper.

What We Love About Hill House

“A family home with such easy flow, filled with light and views stretching unbroken to the horizon, where the garden and its all-season swimming pool beckon, Hill House awaits.”

Poolside Living

Outside is where the value of Hill House becomes especially clear. Indian stone terraces wrap around the rear of the home, creating a sequence of places to dine, recline and entertain. The brick-built pizza oven stands ready beside the terrace: summer evenings can begin with children in the pool, continue over supper outdoors and end beneath the open sky. Lawns extend across the mature plot, with established planting and boundaries lending privacy that cannot be created overnight. Beyond the garden, protected land preserves the uninterrupted outlook and removes the uncertainty of future development immediately behind the home. Within its own glazed pavilion, the swimming pool becomes an all-season sanctuary. Sliding wall panels open the enclosure to the summer air, while the tiled surrounds provide ample room for loungers and poolside seating. Smart technology monitors the water quality discreetly, leaving weekends free for swimming rather than maintenance.
