Property Description
Hill House offers an idyllic Cotswold lifestyle, where character, comfort and nature combine effortlessly. Tucked away amongst mature trees and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, the property provides a rare sense of peace and privacy, while remaining perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the welcoming kitchen/family room invites long, relaxed gatherings, whether enjoying slow breakfasts around the island, cooking for friends or hosting family celebrations.
The elegant sitting room, with its impressive inglenook fireplace and views across the gardens and swimming pool, creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere throughout the seasons. This room works wonderfully when hosting dinner parties.
The boot room is perfectly suited for country living, providing a practical space for muddy wellies and outdoor gear, while the utility room keeps laundry neatly out of sight, helping the main living areas remain calm and uncluttered.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a versatile single bedroom that also works perfectly as a home office, along with two bathrooms. On the second floor, there is a further attic bedroom. Throughout, the rooms are thoughtfully arranged and benefit from excellent discreet storage, enhancing the sense of calm, practical living.
The beautifully designed outdoor spaces encourage a seamless indoor-outdoor way of living, with sunny terraces, colourful planting and tranquil seating areas providing the perfect backdrop for al fresco dining, quiet mornings with coffee or summer afternoons by the pool.
The annexe and pool house offer exceptional flexibility, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, home working or creative pursuits. Combined with the surrounding countryside, Hill House presents a lifestyle centred around wellbeing, relaxation and connection with nature, all within the timeless beauty of the Cotswolds.
