About
Located to the southern end of Hitcham, Hill House is an individual detached Grade II listed house which has been tastefully modernised in recent years.
Likely to date from the early 1800’s, the house provides typically well-proportioned accommodation, coupled with much natural light by numerous front sash windows.
A much later single storey addition to the west (now the drawing room) was the former village shop, which ceased trading in the 1970’s.
The house is entered by a welcoming central hall / snug, with twin bay windows and a fireplace housing a multi burning stove.
An opening leads into the drawing room, with part vaulted ceiling, wood wall panelling, and a notable full-height front window.
A dining room to the eastern end of the house features a 19th century cast iron fireplace, exposed pine floorboards and a recessed seating area.
To the rear, the twin aspect breakfast area opens into the stylishly fitted kitchen, which is comprehensively fitted on three walls with a mix of oak and quartz worktops, inset butler sink, a six-ring ‘Britannia’ range cooker and numerous base units.
Beyond the kitchen is the ground floor shower room and separate utility room, with plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Attached to the rear of the house is a substantial barn / studio with corner office, which considering the extensive space offers numerous potential uses such as annex accommodation or commercial / business use.
Adjacent is the garden room, with double doors leading to the garden.
Via a rear landing, the first floor provides three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with bedroom one being twin aspect, with built-in wardrobes on two walls.
All bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
Outside, ample off-road parking is to one side, where a pedestrian gate leads up to the secluded rear gardens which are bordered by trees, shrubs and flower beds.
The main area is predominately laid to lawn (east) with a gravelled sun terrace with pergola. In addition, there is a large timber shed and further raised beds.
A quaint cottage garden is to the front, with a mature wisteria. Services Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. Oil fired heating.
