Understood to date from around 1820, Harmers Hill House is a very attractive late Georgian detached house, situated in the sought-after village of Newick. Whilst benefitting from remaining unlisted, the house boasts elegant period features typical of the era including elevations of part-painted red brick with the original sash windows under a hipped slate roof, an elegant veranda extending across the southern side, and a number of both working and feature fireplaces. The house is well-presented with stylish décor in keeping with the period of the house, and benefits from the addition of a detached studio and a timber-framed detached garage and workshop.

The full extent of the accommodation is arranged over three floors (including the cellar), the full extent and layout of which can be seen on the floor plan. A brick pathway leads from the driveway to the graceful clay-tiled veranda which extends across the front of the house, and to the front door which opens to the entrance hall. There are two light-filled formal reception rooms lying either side of the hall, both with French doors to the veranda: an elegant triple-aspect sitting room featuring a marble fireplace with painted wood surround and inset wood burner, and a dining room, which also has an open fire.

Beyond the reception rooms is an inner hall from which stairs rise to the first floor, together with a study with fitted bookshelving, and a cloakroom.

The kitchen and breakfast room has windows taking in both the front and rear gardens, and a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers. It has a flagstone floor and is fitted with a range of hand-built oak cabinetry with granite worktops and stainless steel appliances including a Smeg range oven with six-ring gas hob, Fisher & Paykel larder-style fridge/freezer, Liebherr undercounter fridges, and a Smeg dishwasher. French doors open to the terrace and there is ample space for a breakfast table.

Four bedrooms lie off the part-galleried first floor landing, three of which have pretty cast iron feature fireplaces. The principal bedroom lies to the front of the house and has an en suite shower room; the other bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

A trap door in the hallway opens to steps descending to the cellar which has lighting and is used as a food and wine store.

Outside
Harmers Hill House is accessed from the lane via tall timber double gates which open to a large gravelled parking and turning area ahead of the house; the front garden is very well enclosed by fencing and mature hedging, the garaging further screening the house from the road. The timber-framed garaging has power connected and comprises two vehicle bays, with a workshop area and an adjoining open log store; an additional timber garage, also with power connected, provides extra storage.

Between the driveway and house is an area of south-facing lawn, with brick pathways, flower beds and a beautiful mature magnolia. There is gated access at both sides of the house to the part-walled rear garden, which is well-enclosed by mature evergreen hedging and is largely laid to lawn, with a paved terrace spanning the rear of the house.

Studio
A path from the terrace leads to the detached brick studio annexe, which would make ideal accommodation for guests or a generous home-working space, and comprises an open-plan bedroom and sitting room with an enclosed utility cupboard, a walk in store room, and a shower room.
