Hill House is a Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse offering generous, characterful family living across four bedrooms and approximately 1,819 sq ft. Original features such as exposed beams, sash windows and a stone fireplace with wood burner give the home strong period appeal while large rooms and flexible living spaces suit modern family life. The property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, helpful for remote working and family connectivity.
Set back from the road, the house includes off-street parking for up to three cars and a west-facing rear garden with patio, lawn and a summerhouse — a private outdoor space for children, pets and alfresco entertaining. The layout includes a kitchen/dining area, separate living room, study (or potential bedroom), utility room and a large Jack-and-Jill bathroom linking the principal suite, giving practical family circulation and multiple reception options.
Important practical points: as a Grade II listed building, planned alterations will be restricted and may require consents; this can complicate structural or external changes. Heating is oil-fired and the council tax is above average (Band E), so running costs should be considered. While the house is full of charm and ready to enjoy, parts of the interior offer clear scope to modernise to suit contemporary tastes and energy-efficiency improvements.
Located in Burton-in-Kendal with low crime, good local schools and countryside walks from the doorstep, Hill House suits families seeking a historic home in a prosperous rural community. Its combination of character, garden space and parking presents a rare opportunity, particularly for buyers who value period detail and are comfortable working within listed-building constraints.
