Summary - Hill Cottage, Hill Road S45 0BX
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious listed family home with sweeping countryside views and high-spec kitchen.
Grade II listed 1703 period property — listing restricts alterations
Hill Cottage is a rare, Grade II listed former schoolhouse dating to 1703, occupying an elevated 0.85-acre plot with wide countryside views. The house offers large rooms, high ceilings and a carefully considered renovation that blends period detail with contemporary finishes — notably a hand-crafted Pre-Eminence kitchen with quartz worktops and a five-oven Aga. Landscaped gardens, tiered lawns, patio, ample off-road parking and outbuildings including a garage/workshop add practical outdoor space for family life.
The flexible layout extends to approximately 3,293 sqft with 5/6 double bedrooms, four reception rooms and separate pantry and utility spaces. The ground floor includes multiple living areas — formal lounge with log burner, formal dining room, family room off the kitchen and an additional reception that opens to the garden — supporting both everyday family use and entertaining. Mains gas boiler and radiators provide heating; mobile signal is excellent and the property is within walking distance of village amenities and highly regarded local schools.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or extensions. The property has just two bathrooms for six bedrooms, and the sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated which may affect running costs; the EPC is currently TBC. Council tax sits in band G and is described as quite expensive. While the house has been thoughtfully modernised, ongoing listed-building responsibilities and any further renovation work should be budgeted for.
This home suits a family seeking substantial, characterful accommodation with flexible living areas and generous outdoor space, and for buyers who value historic detail combined with high-spec, contemporary fittings. Practical buyers should factor in listed-status constraints, heating/efficiency considerations and the limited number of bathrooms when assessing suitability.
