Barton Hill House

Built in 1994 and constructed of Hornton stone under a tile roof, Barton Hill House is an attractive village house positioned on the southern boundary of Shutford. The property provides excellent, well-proportioned and generous accommodation with high ceilinged rooms, sash windows and the principal reception rooms all have a southerly aspect benefitting from views out over the garden and land.

Barton Hill House has been designed so that all principal reception rooms feed off the reception hall. To the left is the drawing room enjoying southerly views out over the garden, benefitting from a large semi-circular bay window and door out onto a patio area. The library, accessed through the drawing room, has an open fireplace with attractive stone surround and built in book shelving. LPG fires serve the drawing room, dining room and sitting room.

Of particular note is the reception hall with the attractive staircase on the right hand side and benefitting from the full height of the house with a large sky light making the room very light. Both the entrance hall and the dining room give access to the large family kitchen with oil-fired AGA, separate LPG cooker and plenty of cupboard space. There is a cosy sitting room positioned off the kitchen as well as the back door into the generous utility/boot room and laundry room. The heated indoor swimming pool and changing room are accessed off the utility room and staircase up to a small office.
