Set on an elevated plot on Selsley Common, Hill House is a spacious four-bedroom stone home with sweeping valley views. Period features such as high ceilings, sash windows and two working wood burners combine with contemporary comforts including a 2023 gas boiler and ultrafast broadband — ideal for rural family life with modern connectivity. The bespoke vaulted conservatory and generous kitchen/breakfast room create bright, flexible ground-floor living for everyday use and entertaining.
The property includes substantial outbuildings: a detached barn, a period workshop/studio and carport with parking, providing storage, home-office or hobby potential. Mature level gardens back onto pasture with direct pedestrian access onto the Common, offering safe outdoor space for children and easy countryside recreation from the doorstep.
Buyers should note practical points: drainage is to a septic tank, glazing dates from before 2002 and external cavity walls appear uninsulated (assumed). Council tax is high for the area and indoor mobile signal can be variable. These factors, together with the property's 1930s–1940s construction, present straightforward upgrading opportunities for insulation and window improvements to enhance efficiency and comfort.
Overall this detached house suits families seeking character, generous reception space and scenic views, with useful ancillary buildings and a large plot. The home is ready to occupy with some modernisation potential for buyers wanting to add value or improve energy performance.
