Hill House is a handsome period farmhouse with five bedrooms and a wealth of charming period details, together with a range of outbuildings incorporating two annexes and a leisure complex with an indoor swimming pool.

Three staircases lead to the first floor, where there are four well-presented double bedrooms, together with a dressing room that could also serve as a fifth bedroom. The principal bedroom has an adjoining bathroom and separate WC, while a further family bathroom is located on the main landing.

Additional accommodation includes the barn, which features exposed timber framing and a vaulted ceiling. It provides an impressive 42ft open-plan kitchen and sitting room, together with three double bedrooms and a bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower.
