Hill Farm is a spectacular Victorian property, dating from circa 1850, that boasts an elevated position perched on the edge of the Mendip Hills AONB, (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) with staggering views of Somerset and the Mendips.
The current owners have made multiple improvements to update Hill Farm to create a modern living environment while preserving its Victorian heritage.
The family home has floods of natural light, big rooms with high ceilings. The living room has a lovely working fireplace which really adds to that cosy feeling in the evenings and great views of big landmarks in Somerset. The living room adjoins a great sized dining room with access to the courtyard, garden, via bi-fold doors (lovely for summer meals), and the kitchen.
The kitchen has a great range of built in appliances including oven. dishwasher, hob and a fully restored vintage gas fired Aga. This leads into a charming family room with another fireplace and views facing the same way as the living room. Also, on the ground floor there is a study, downstairs w/c and boot room (great after those muddy dog walks in the Mendips) with garden and courtyard access. The travertine flagstone tiled hall gives access to the stairs and the spacious landing with its bespoke bookcases and arched window viewing the splendid Mendip hills to the rear of the property, here all four bedrooms provide a vast amount of space as well as incredible far-reaching views. The first floor has a family bathroom complete with cast iron rolltop bath and the Master bedroom ensuite and its modern Roca suite. A further fully installed matching staircase leads to the fully boarded storage area in the attic.
Outside is the splendid, secluded courtyard, with a productive grape vine and pear tree, great shaded and sunny aspects all in one! Stairs in the garden lead to a terrace where elevated countryside views enhance alfresco dining on summer evenings. The secluded rear walled garden is a great size catching lots of sun and is also home to a recently built modern home office (with ultra-fast fibre broadband connection) perfect for working from home. The garden has newly constructed raised beds for growing vegetables and a recently installed Swallow greenhouse as well as separate garden potting and tools sheds. Productive Walnut and Fig trees feature in the diverse garden with well stocked borders and flower beds
The front of the property benefits from ample amounts of parking.
