Accommodation Summary

Hallcroft House is a truly exceptional home—an outstanding example of contemporary construction, seamlessly blending traditional materials with architectural innovation to create a residence of timeless elegance and comfort.

Ground Floor
A handcrafted oak front door, created by a local master craftsman, sets the tone for the home’s exquisite interiors, with beautifully turned wooden handles, herringbone oak floors, and elegant brass and steel accents. The hall opens into a striking lantern-roof hallway awash with natural light, leading to a study with herringbone oak flooring. The inner hall, featuring fully tiled granite flooring from the front door through to the bespoke oak staircase, gives access to a cloakroom and understairs storage.

The elegant sitting room benefits from a wonderful light-filled bay window and an open fireplace, with herringbone oak flooring offering a refined yet cosy space.
Dramatic double doors lead to the heart of the home—a spectacular open-plan “Great Room” incorporating a handmade kitchen, dining area, and sitting area. Stunning triple sliding glass doors provide a seamless connection to the rear patio and garden.

The kitchen features a bespoke range of cabinetry, integrated appliances, a double Belfast sink, Quooker tap, larder unit, plumbed American fridge/freezer, and a fabulous central island/breakfast bar with pale beige quartz worksurfaces. French doors open to a side patio—perfect for breakfast and supper. This incredible family room also has in-ceiling speakers, ideal for soft background music or entertaining. The dining area looks directly out through the sliding doors, while the family sitting area, with its wood-burning stove, creates a welcoming focal point. A laundry/utility room with a side door to the garden completes the practical elements of the ground floor.

First Floor
On the first floor, the principal bedroom and principal guest bedroom each have beautifully finished, fully tiled ensuite shower rooms. There are two further double bedrooms and a stunning family bathroom with a tear-shaped bath. Vaulted ceilings and clever use of space create layers of interest for displaying art and furniture. Beautiful wool carpets and meticulous attention to detail provide an exceptional standard of design and build, with underfloor heating in the bathrooms.

Second Floor
The oak staircase continues to the second floor, comprising a fifth bedroom with eaves storage and a luxurious ensuite bathroom featuring a central elliptical bath, freestanding chrome taps, and a large walk-in shower. This level offers an ideal retreat for a teenager or an oasis for multi-generational living.

Outside
Hallcroft House is approached from the main road in Tilston along a private drive, owned by the property, and sits behind beautiful electric wooden gates. As the gates open, a large gravelled driveway leads to a detached double garage with an attached store room and a first floor. This could easily be reimagined, subject to the necessary planning consents, as a separate annexe, home office, or au pair suite. The driveway offers parking for 6–8 cars. A single wooden gate and a secondary double gate provide additional access to the sunken garden, and there is also a parking area owned by Hallcroft House to the side of the gates.

The professionally landscaped gardens are a particular highlight. York stone patios wrap around the property, following the sun throughout the day. Meticulously built dry stone walls frame the fabulous sunken garden with its pristine lawn. Borders are planted with Annabelles, shrubs, stocks, and abundant topiary, with a striking olive tree positioned near the French doors of the kitchen.

Every corner offers a beautiful view, with a pony paddock to the side and open fields beyond. Feature lighting illuminates the trees and shrubs, transforming the gardens at night. Over the sliding patio doors hangs a charming triple lantern, casting a warm, welcoming glow across the rear of the house.

Hallcroft House enjoys a prime position in the picturesque village of Tilston. The village is home to the charming St Mary’s Church, a highly regarded primary school ranked 8th best in the country by The Sunday Times, a vibrant village hall, and a unique shop offering parcel drop-off services.
