Hill View, located in the centre of the village, was once a grocery shop, but few traces of that remain today. This is a beautiful example of a traditional house renovated with care and good taste, retaining period details but presenting a thoroughly modern version of a comfortable home while preserving the character of this notable house.

The house was constructed in 1840 of stone walls and Delabole slate. The renovation has involved removing rendering to insulate and repoint the original stone walls, with attractive results. Victorian doors throughout the house have been restored to their best condition. Front facing windows and French doors are double glazed, but at the rear the original ones remain.

The original Victorian front door opens from a glazed porch into the hall, naturally lit by a half landing window and with a prettily tiled floor. To the right is the sitting room, a very pleasant space created from two previous rooms and now stretching from the front, with its view over the village green and the church, to French doors opening onto the peace and quiet of the rear garden. The original fireplace with decorative tiles is a feature.

Across the hall is the newly formed kitchen/dining room, which also incorporates front and rear aspects, resulting in a very attractive room with a tasteful colour scheme. The dining space accommodates a family sized table and an original fireplace remains as a decorative feature. A porcelain tiled floor adds to the stylish, bespoke kitchen, handmade, with fully integrated appliances, a Qooker tap and large island with inbuilt extractor fan and a spacious, shelved larder cupboard. The adjacent utility room has floor to ceiling storage including a laundry and boiler, both behind cupboard doors. A Villeroy and Boch wc with basin is next to the door to the back garden.
Stairs turn to the first floor with its four beautifully decorated double bedrooms. Three overlook the front garden and the pretty view over the green and the parish church. The principal bedroom has a nicely tiled contemporary shower room. The stylish family bathroom, with deep freestanding bath and wide walk-in shower is just across the landing. The fourth bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has tasteful decor in keeping with the whole interior. Thoughtful design is evident throughout the house.

An integral part of the project has been the redesign and landscaping of the rear garden and courtyards. The back door opens to a slate courtyard and the mowhay, an all-purpose double storey cob and stone shed that predates the house. Its solid build makes it suitable for a workshop or large store for garden machinery, along with smaller sheds attached as stores for wood, bins, etc. A second courtyard is securely gated against the road. It has the oil tank (screened) and is a private spot to enjoy the evening sun. A barbecue patio and raised veg beds are reached by a newly laid granite and slate path. A solidly built Cornish hedge makes the perimeter around the gated gravel drive and parking area. The front garden is a neat cottage garden behind a low stone wall and white gate.
