Description

Description

The Portcullis is an impressive Grade II Listed detached house occupying a central position within the picturesque village of Hillesley which is situated on the Cotswold escarpment surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The property is of significant importance to the village with a vibrant history. Dating back to the 1650s and believed to have originally been thatched, the property was formerly The Portcullis Inn followed by a restaurant before becoming a residential home some 20 years ago when it was thoroughly renovated. With a striking gabled frontage, the property is steeped in charm and character throughout showcasing inglenook fireplaces, exposed stone walls and beams, and notably, the original panelling. Today, The Portcullis is a fascinating, unique home offering substantial, well-proportioned accommodation which extends to over 3,400 sq.ft. 
 
The ground floor briefly comprises four reception rooms, an entrance hall, and delightful kitchen/breakfast room. The entrance hall is a magnificent room boasting a 12ft ceiling with exposed beams and a timber staircase rising. Flagstone flooring spans across the drawing room and dining room which both have impressive inglenook fireplaces at the focal point. The traditional country-style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an oil-fired Aga and a range of solid timber units. Completing the ground floor layout there is a snug/family room, versatile fitted office, utility room and cloakroom. The first floor is accessed via two staircases and there are five flexible, generous-sized bedrooms plus two bathrooms. The principal bedroom has ample built-in storage whilst another bedroom features a truly spectacular original panelled wardrobe. 
 
Externally, the property has a driveway to the side which leads to a gated parking forecourt providing private parking for numerous vehicles. Beside the parking area there is a large workshop with power which offers scope for converting into garaging. The gardens are laid for easy low maintenance comprising a patio terrace off the back of the house, whilst beyond the parking there is a secluded lawned garden enclosed by mature shrubs. The garden size could easily be extended into the gravelled forecourt if preferred.
