The House on the Hill
Commanding an exceptional elevated position amidst rolling countryside, The House on the Hill is a remarkable country residence enjoying some of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the county. Constructed in 2006 using reclaimed materials beneath an elegant rosemary tiled roof, the property effortlessly combines timeless character with refined contemporary living.

Beautifully enhanced in recent years, the home offers a substantial five bedroom country home with accommodation extending to approximately 3470 sq. ft.

The current configuration of the property provides an option for a self-contained annex, perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or income generation.

The Main House
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to embrace both comfort and versatility, with an emphasis on light, space, and connection to the surrounding landscape.

At the heart of the home lies an outstanding vaulted living kitchen — a spectacular open-plan space featuring distinct kitchen, dining, and seating areas beneath exposed roof trusses. Picture windows frame the far-reaching countryside views, while a feature fireplace with log-burning stove creates a warm and inviting focal point. The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed with integrated appliances and complemented by a walk-in pantry.
Situated just off the kitchen is an elegant sitting room with a charming stone fireplace and further log-burning stove, offering a more intimate retreat.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged predominantly across the ground floor, providing excellent flexibility for modern family living.

The principal suite occupies a private position to the rear of the property and enjoys extensive fitted storage, a luxurious en-suite bathroom, and direct access to a secluded terrace with pergola — the perfect setting from which to enjoy the stunning rural outlook. A first-floor study area is accessed from the bedroom and could, if desired, be adapted into an additional bedroom.

Bedrooms two and three are both generously proportioned and each benefits from mezzanine-level areas ideally suited as dressing rooms, home offices, or relaxed den spaces.

Completing the main house is a beautifully refurbished family bathroom together with a spacious utility room.

The Annex
Positioned to the front of the property and retaining the original entrance door, the annex is connected to the principal residence via the living kitchen, yet offers complete independence when required.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a sitting room, dining kitchen, and shower room, while a traditional staircase rises to two impressive vaulted double bedrooms and a high-quality family bathroom.

Currently operated by the owners as a successful holiday accommodation business known as Pen Hill Holidays, the annex offers exceptional versatility and income potential, whilst equally lending itself perfectly to extended family living.

Gardens & Traditional Outbuildings
Approached via a long private farm driveway, the property opens onto a generous gravelled forecourt providing extensive parking.

The gardens and grounds envelop the house on all sides, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, and post-and-rail fencing enhancing the idyllic setting. A variety of terraces and seating areas have been carefully positioned to capture the sunlight throughout the day, whilst making the very most of the magnificent 360-degree countryside views.

To the side of the property, a charming courtyard garden features an outdoor heated swimming pool with decked sun terrace — an exceptional space for al fresco entertaining and summer gatherings.

A traditional range of brick-built outbuildings adjoins the house, offering excellent garaging and workshop facilities.

Paddock Land & Equestrian Facilities
The fenced paddock land extends to approximately 16 acres and wraps beautifully around the property, creating a wonderfully private and picturesque setting.

A substantial timber courtyard range provides excellent equestrian facilities including stabling, hay store, and tack room accommodation, all centred around a practical gated yard area.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property also benefits from direct access to nearby bridleways and superb hacking opportunities across the surrounding countryside.
Please note: the land is subject to a public footpath.
