Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Hil Colm is a substantial detached dormer bungalow enjoying an idyllic setting in the sought-after village of Bottomhouse, surrounded by some of the Staffordshire Moorlands' most beautiful countryside. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, this delightful home is set within generous wrap-around gardens that enjoy stunning far-reaching views from every aspect, creating a wonderful balance of comfortable family living and peaceful rural surroundings.

Stepping through the entrance porch, which provides ample space for coats and footwear, you are welcomed into the heart of the home—a beautifully appointed farmhouse-style breakfast kitchen. Fitted with an attractive range of traditional units, the kitchen incorporates a double Belfast sink and provides space for a range-style cooker, creating an ideal setting for everyday family life. A useful utility cupboard houses the washing machine together with the oil-fired central heating boiler, ensuring the practicalities of modern living are neatly concealed.

Leading through from the kitchen is the impressive lounge and dining room, a wonderfully spacious reception room centred around a charming multi-fuel stove that provides a warm and inviting focal point. With ample room for both comfortable seating and a family dining table, this is a superb space for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends. Patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing the beautiful countryside views to become part of the living space throughout the seasons.

An inner hallway provides access to the remaining ground floor accommodation, together with a staircase rising to the first floor. The delightful conservatory overlooks the rear garden, with French doors opening onto the patio, providing the perfect spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The principal bedroom is positioned to the side of the property, where a large picture window beautifully frames uninterrupted rural views across the neighbouring countryside. A fourth bedroom overlooks the rear garden and offers flexibility as a guest bedroom or home office if desired. Completing the ground floor is a spacious family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and a generous walk-in shower cubicle.

To the first floor are two further double bedrooms. Bedroom Two enjoys an attractive front-facing position and benefits from built-in wardrobes together with French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, perfectly positioned to take in the glorious countryside views. Bedroom Three overlooks the rear gardens and offers excellent flexibility as a guest bedroom, hobby room or home office. These bedrooms are served by a second bathroom, making the first floor equally well suited to family members or visiting guests.

Externally, Hil Colm continues to impress. A driveway provides extensive off-road parking to the front of the property before leading into the generous wrap-around gardens. A substantial hard-standing area offers additional parking or an ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining, flowing onto expansive lawns and a further seating terrace. Enclosed by fencing and bordered by neighbouring fields, currently grazed by horses, the gardens enjoy exceptional privacy together with breathtaking panoramic views across the rolling Staffordshire Moorlands countryside.

Despite its wonderfully peaceful setting, Hil Colm is conveniently located just a short distance from the market town of Leek and within easy reach of the villages of Waterhouses and Ipstones, both of which offer a range of everyday amenities, well-regarded schools and traditional public houses. The market towns of Cheadle and Ashbourne are also readily accessible, making this an ideal location for those seeking a rural lifestyle without compromising on convenience.
