Accommodation - Welcome to Hillcrest House, a charming residence dating back to circa 1760 and steeped in charm and history. The wisteria wrapped canopied porch captures your attention before you see the striking, Minton tiles of the reception hall, deep skirting boards and hand-carved architraves. The hall leads to a vestibule area where there is a guest cloakroom, utility/boot room, which offers space for appliances as well as a larder cupboard and, also access down to the cellar, (believed to be a Victorian wet cellar).

To the right of the hall, is a snug, which could serve as a study. A cosy space with bespoke shelving and cabinetry to the recess, slate flooring and log-burning stove that provides a focal point. Arched double doors lead you through to generously sized sitting room, which is arranged around a striking hearth and mantle, within which is a “Jotul” log-burning stove. Natural light fills the room through sash windows at the front and side, as well as double patio doors to the rear. The farmhouse dining kitchen is full of charm with bespoke wall and base units and stone worksurfaces providing ample space and storage. A ceramic double Belfast sink takes in a view of the attractive courtyard terrace, while there is space for a range-style oven to the recess at the side, space for a fridge/freezer and integrated dishwasher. To the corner is a pantry cupboard.

To the first floor you will find four double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, including the dual aspect master bedroom with striking feature fireplace. The bedroom at the rear, is currently used a study. The family bathroom has been re-fitted to provide a contemporary, heritage-style suite comprising free-standing bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin. There is also a separate WC.
