Hill House

Originally constructed in 2008 Hill House is an eco-friendly property offering approximately 9,150 sq ft of living accommodation over three floors. There are numerous subtle architectural devices within the house such as curved walls, glass atriums and balconies off all the first-floor bedrooms. From all the rooms, over the ground and first floors, due to its elevated position the property benefits from panoramic views over rolling neighbouring countryside.

The house is constructed in a semi-circle at the end of a tree lined drive. The property has high insulation values and is an air-tight constructed building enabling it to be a very energy efficient home. There is a Swedish Ground Source Heat Pump, which provides heating and hot water throughout the house together with the central log burner in the drawing room which can provide additional heat if required. In addition, there is a Canadian Mechanical Ventilation System with heat recovery which further reduces energy loss by using a heat exchanger to bring warm fresh air into all habitable rooms throughout the house. Other features include Lutron Lighting System, integrated music /Control 4 home system, smart phone technology, Kaleidoscape home cinema.

The gardens are beautifully landscaped around the house leading into pasture and paddocks beyond. To the west of the house is a newly constructed swimming pool complex, built to the highest standards with great attention to detail. Constructed over two floors there is 69 ft long swimming pool with spa bath, sauna, steam room and changing rooms. Over the first floor is a well-appointed gymnasium with glass doors leading out onto two large sun terraces. To the east of the house is a large well-equipped American style stable block with 9-11 stables, a solarium station, tack room, laundry room, office and staff room with kitchenette and shower room. Beyond this is a large barn for hay storage and a machinery store, there is also a large covered horsewalker with additional stabling.

To the south of the property is a two-bedroom chalet log cabin offering 950 sq ft of living accommodation. Close to the head of the drive is a three-bedroom semidetached cottage with sitting room, kitchen conservatory and small garden.
