Large stone farmhouse with indoor pool and ~10 acres—ideal private rural family retreat.
Approximately 10 acres of mixed grassland and woodland
Set within about 10 acres of mixed grassland and woodland, South Hillswood Farm is an impressive four-bedroom family home in a tranquil rural setting near Tittesworth Reservoir and Hillswood Wood. The house combines traditional stone character with generous modern living spaces: a large open-plan kitchen/dining area, formal sitting and living rooms, and an exceptional indoor swimming pool with vaulted ceiling and changing area. The property is presented in immaculate condition and benefits from solar panels and a NIBE ground-source heating system that reduce running costs.
The grounds are a major asset: landscaped courtyard and terraces, extensive lawns, pergola with barbecue and seating, workshops, outbuildings and ample parking accessed via double gated entrance and private drive. The land surrounding the house offers potential for small-scale livestock or equestrian use, amenity woodland and privacy—making the property suitable as a family retreat, hobby farm or country lifestyle base. Internal space is substantial (approximately 4,844 sq ft) with fifteen rooms overall, multiple bathrooms including ensuites, and practical rooms such as a laundry and boiler rooms serving the pool.
Buyers should note a few practical constraints associated with the location. The property is in a remote hamlet classification with average mobile signal and very slow broadband, which may affect remote working or streaming. Drainage is by private means, and there are existing rights, wayleaves and easements affecting the land which will remain on transfer. Access is along a private farm track and viewings must be pre-arranged.
Overall, the house offers rare scale and privacy with high-spec family amenities—especially the indoor pool and significant land—while requiring purchasers to accept rural utilities, limited digital connectivity and the responsibilities of owning extensive grounds.
