    About this property

    • Built in 2017, Hilbre is a smartly presented detached house which is situated opposite a central green on this exclusive development. It is a super position and from which there are far reaching views across the Five Valleys to the wooded hills beyond.

      The house benefits from high quality fittings throughout including light oak fittings and is beautifully presented. The front door opens into a central hall with an impressive staircase immediately ahead. Glazed panel double doors lead into the dining room and also the drawing room which features a dressed stone fireplace with wood burning stove. Doors lead out onto a garden terrace as does the kitchen. This room is particularly well fitted and incorporates a central island and a breakfast area. The integrated appliance include three Bosch ovens, a ceramic hob and a Miele fridge/freezer. Off the kitchen is the utility room.

      On the first floor there are five bedrooms although two are presently used as studies, each with fitted office furniture. The two main bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and their own luxury fitted en suites. There is also a family bathroom and from the front bedrooms there are distant views.

      The house occupies a generous site which allows plenty of parking to the front of the detached double garage. To the rear is the well tended and private garden which includes two terraces as well as raised vegetable beds. It is well defined by a mature beech hedge and easy to maintain as it is mainly lawned. An enthusiastic gardener will have plenty of scope to landscape if desired
