Farmcote, Hillesley, Wotton-under-Edge, GL12 7RP

A beautifully presented and extended detached home occupying a secluded location in the heart of the popular village of Hillesley. Built 25 years ago, part of an exclusive development of 10 properties the property offers well-balanced accommodation, complemented by a fabulous, recent, rear kitchen extension.

A porch leads into a generous entrance hallway with hard floors throughout, a useful storage cupboard, a well presented cloakroom/WC, and a nicely proportioned study. The 22'10" dual aspect sitting room spans the depth of the house and has French doors connecting to the garden and a wonderful feature fireplace with an open grate. To the rear, the kitchen is the star of the show, cleverly extended to create a fabulous open plan kitchen/dining/family space. The bespoke kitchen has been beautifully fitted with a extensive range of Woodchester Cabinet Makers units, complete with an oak-lined pantry unit, an inset Belfast sink, granite worksurfaces and a generous island with breakfast seating. The lofty dining area has two Velux windows and dual bi-fold doors perfect for enjoying indoor/outdoor living alongside ample space for a large dining table. The adjoining snug enjoys a pleasant outlook across the garden and a corner-mounted wood-burning stove. Leading from the kitchen is a well-equipped utility/boot room with custom built units for laundry appliances and useful additional storage. The entire space has been finished with stunning tumbled stone flooring.

Upstairs a light-filled, galleried landing serves four generous bedrooms and the family bathroom, and has a useful linen cupboard. The master bedroom suite is a wonderful space which spans the depth of the property and offers a walk through dressing room and a stylish ensuite shower room. The good-size family bathroom offers a bath and a separate shower and a wonderful outlook.

Outside a lawned front garden frames the front of the property with a block paved pathway and a generous gravelled driveway. The detached double garage has two up and over doors, a pitched roof with useful storage, power and light, and an EV charger. Gated access leads to the rear garden which is level and particularly private with a good-size patio adjoining the house, a raised deck and pretty planted beds, alongside a generous expanse of lawn.

Hillesley is a traditional Cotswold village, set on the lower slopes of the escarpment within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Built predominantly of warm Cotswold stone and surrounded by rolling countryside, it offers a peaceful rural setting with far-reaching views, yet remains remarkably well connected. At the heart of the village is a strong and welcoming community. There is a well-regarded C of E primary school, parish church, village hall and playing fields, along with a tennis court and cricket club. The Fleece Inn, a much-loved local pub adds to the village's easy charm. Footpaths and bridleways radiate out into the surrounding countryside, linking to the Cotswold Way and offering endless opportunities for walking and riding straight from the doorstep.

Despite its tranquil setting, Hillesley is conveniently positioned just off the A46, providing straightforward access to the market towns of Wotton-under-Edge, Chipping Sodbury, Tetbury and Nailsworth. Junction 18 of the M4 is within easy reach, offering connections to Bristol, Bath and London, while the M5 is also accessible for travel further afield. Mainline rail services to London Paddington are available from Kemble, making the village a practical choice for commuters seeking country living without compromise. For families, the well-regarded Katharine Lady Berkeley's Secondary School (KLB) is nearby in Wotton-under-Edge, with a further range of independent schools in the wider area including Westonbirt and Beaudesert Park. There are plenty of opportunities locally for sport and leisure, from golf and equestrian pursuits to well-regarded country hotels and restaurants.

Hillesley strikes a rare balance - an unspoilt village with a genuine sense of community, surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet within easy reach of excellent schooling, amenities and transport links. Farmcote is a well-regarded, secluded cul-de-sac of just ten executive properties in the very heart of this popular village.
