Hill Top House - Nestled on the fringe of Newark and Coddington, 300-degree countryside views await within the red brick Georgian stylings of Hill Top House; an imposing family home, bursting with the potential to imprint your own 21st century personality, style and comforts upon its impressive footprint.

Dating back in part to the 1600s, subtly noted by the change in ceiling height, with later additions made in the 1800s, this former farmhouse combines character and grandeur with comfort.

Impressive Arrival - Three independent, gated driveways provide access to Hill Top House, to the north stable yard, via the paddock, orchard and tennis court to the south and also to the main front parking area. With abundant parking available, pull up on the driveway or beneath the carport. Gated, secluded and private, sense the peace and tranquility immediately upon arrival.

A Warm Welcome - Make your way inside, into the entrance hall, where wooden flooring adds warmth and character. Ahead, the staircase ascends to a half landing, where light spills down from a large window for a light and airy arrival home.

Light and airy, neutral tones permeate throughout for a warm, welcoming feel.

Turning right, step through into the living room, where cream carpet extends underfoot and shuttered sash windows frame verdant views out to the gloriously green gardens. French doors open up to the patio beyond, perfect for parties and soaking up the summer sunshine. In the winter months, snuggle up on the sofa in front of the toasty glow of the log-burning stove, set within a handsome black marble surround.

Feast Your Eyes - Cross the entrance hall and admire the wood panelling to the walls in the dining room, located to the left of the front door. A formal feasting space, light flows in through a large, shuttered, sash window, providing views out over the driveway and planting in the garden to the side.

Carpeted in cream, heritage tones of soft sage-grey and cream coat the walls, whilst the picture rail adds character – emphasising the height of the ceiling. Inset beneath the white marble fireplace is an electric log burner.

Returning to the entrance hall, pass the attractive spindles and curving handrail of the staircase, on route to the kitchen, through the second door on the right.

Solid pine cabinetry embraces the farmhouse traditions of this home, offering an abundance of storage for all your culinary essentials. Contemporary upgrades see the kitchen at Hill Top House fitted with a bank of ovens including microwave-oven with a gas hob. Tiled underfoot to the practical working portion of the kitchen, flow through to the dining area, where laminate flooring extends underfoot, and a large breakfast bar provides the perfect place to perch and enjoy sociable dining.

Views over the garden and paddocks are prevalent in every room, and from the kitchen you can also slip outside through the back door to reconnect with nature.

Dine in sunshine and style in the breakfast conservatory where tiled floor extends underfoot, and windows frame views out to the patio and garden. A home with great flow, double doors link through to the utility room, where there is access out to the patio, whilst another door reconnects you to the entrance hall.

Flexible Living For Your Family - Also nestled off the entrance hall, discover a large room currently serving as a gym and study, ideal for fitness fans or those wishing to work from home.

Stairs lead down from this room to the cellar, where an original French chateaux wine rack provides storage for around 72 bottles.
