Old Hill House is a prominent village house that dates back to the 15th century, with modifications made during the 17th and 18th centuries. The house boasts an appealing interior design, showcasing captivating internal framing that offers charm and character. Its external facade is decorated with brick and rendered elevations, complemented by a peg tiled roof. Recognised as a Grade II listed property, it holds significant historical value, showcasing exquisite period detailing throughout.

Spanning across approximately 4,200 sq ft, the house offers spacious and well-proportioned living spaces, comprising both formal and informal reception rooms, as well as six bedrooms. The delightful interior has carefully preserved many of its original features, such as fireplaces and tall sash windows, contributing to its overall allure and character.

The property's outdoor area encompasses over 3,500 sq ft of outbuildings, which include a workshop with an attached garage with possible development opportunities (see Agent's Note i), a garden store and a greenhouse. Additionally, there is a former agricultural barn that provides covered parking spaces, an internal office and a WC, offering versatile options for various uses. Attached to the main house is another tool shed and a garden room, creating a splendid setting for entertaining.

The house has been thoughtfully designed to offer well-balanced accommodation, spread across three levels. It features two reception rooms facing south, adorned with fireplaces and showcasing remarkable timber details and a cosy snug. At the back of the house, you will find the kitchen/breakfast room, two pantries and a shower room. The kitchen boasts a contemporary ambiance with its light-coloured units and a variety of non-integrated appliances. Two separate staircases lead to the first floor, which is equally delightful, housing four spacious double bedrooms with two en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom. On the second floor are two more bedrooms and an attic room, making it an ideal space for teenagers.

Outside
The property boasts beautiful gardens as its outstanding feature. The gardens primarily consist of well-maintained lawns with diverse borders filled with a wide variety of plants and shrubs. This creates a vibrant display of colours and ensures year-round interest. The house is centrally positioned within the grounds and has two separate entrances.
On the western side, there is a former agricultural barn equipped with a four-bay cart lodge, storage facilities, an office, and a WC. Towards the back, there is an additional detached building currently serving as a workshop, accompanied by a connected greenhouse and another garage.

A pathway passes the front of the house, enhanced with a charming pond and a collection of mature trees and shrubs, providing natural privacy from the road. The entrance gate opens to a driveway that gracefully sweeps to the eastern corner of the house. The remaining garden and grounds extend beyond this point, thoughtfully designed and divided into separate zones. These zones cater to various purposes, including seating areas for relaxation and a designated space for cultivating vegetables.

In total, the property encompasses about 1.44 acres of land.
