A fine former mine captain's house with fantastic views across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coastline and beyond.
Hill House is a handsome and well-proportioned former mine captain's house set in an attractive land holding, with grazing for horses and livestock. The building dates from the mid 1800's, providing spacious and characterful accommodation over three floors, extending to about 3,486 sq ft.
The house offers a fine selection of reception rooms with high ceilings and plenty of period details such as plaster work, open fireplaces, joinery and panelled doors. The building is not listed and benefits from discreet double glazed windows throughout.
A farmhouse style kitchen leads onto the practical areas at the rear of the house where there is space for coats, boots and dogs and plenty of storage and a separate laundry area.
Upstairs the main bedrooms also have high ceilings and are all accessed from the large landing which runs through the house. On the second floor there is a large unused area that could provide additional living accommodation if converted, subject to the necessary consents.
The walled gardens lie to the south and east of the house, within which there is a parterre with box hedging, herbaceous borders, a paved terrace, a pergola of ash trees and a wide outdoor dining terrace all of which are surrounded by beautiful mature beech and lime trees with an impressive view over the Bristol channel to South Wales in the distance.
The grounds include a range of both traditional and more modern farm and domestic outbuildings. There is a range of stone buildings, which include a studio/workshop space, and an adjoining steel framed farm building offering 4,500 square feet in a covered yard and lean-to.
The land encircles the house and comprises of 17 acres of level pasture and home paddocks running down to a strip of about 5 ½ acres with deciduous woodland running along the northern boundary. Within the woodlands, a network of paths give access to the pond and link to the bridle path which leads out to the surrounding countryside.
