Hillside is situated in an elevated position standing to the foot of Cadbury Hill Fort and enjoys beautiful countryside views towards Crooks Peak and The Mendip Hills. The detached Georgian residence sits in grounds approaching an acre (unmeasured) and accessed via electric gates with a long driveway leading up to a large parking area for numerous vehicles.

Step inside this wonderful home, through an enclosed porch and into a magnificent hallway with a grand central staircase. The welcoming hall shows off soaring ceilings and period detailing and provides access to three large reception rooms and a convenient cloakroom with coat and boot store.

The first of the three reception rooms are an impressive dual aspect dining room, with an open fireplace and built-in book and display shelves. Next is an elegant and bright South Westerly facing sitting room with tall ceilings, a fireplace, sash windows and a wonderful bay window overlooking the pretty gardens and glimpses of the hillside views. The final reception room is a separate cosy snug, with original French doors, a pretty window seat and open fire.

A secondary hall leads off the main entrance hall and from the snug, providing access into a separate kitchen with country style cupboards, Italian Marble worktops, a large central island, and breakfast bar. From the kitchen a door opens out to a light garden room conservatory, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Also accessed from the secondary hall is a large utility room, separate larder, a storeroom, further cloakroom, and stairs leading down to a generous cellar with a wine store and two large rooms, each with high ceilings.

Upstairs is an impressive principal bedroom suite with a bathroom and a stunning bay window overlooking the garden and surrounding country views. Four further double bedrooms, two set up as dressing rooms, a study, family bathroom, separate cloakroom and another study area complete the first floor.

The main house displays many original and period features, including sash windows with shutters, picture rails, skirting boards, ceiling with cornicing and roses, fireplaces and even a servant’s bell.

The Coach House
A versatile space offering several opportunities, currently configured with a one-bedroom cottage to one end, with its own kitchen reception room, large first floor bedroom and en-suite shower room. Two interlinking garages, adjoining workshop and a separate potting room are situated to the ground floor, while an expansive forty-four-foot games room is found to the top floor with a genuine antique billiards table, handy cloakroom and French doors opening out to one of the gardens.

Outside
The gardens are private, enclosed and wrap around both the main house and the coach house. An upper garden laid to lawn is perfect for a game of Cricket or Croque and is surrounded by established trees, shrubs, and a large stone wall to one side.

A picturesque courtyard with flagstone floor sits neatly between both the buildings and offers a wonderful place to sit, relax and dine alfresco style near to the main kitchen.

Paths, some hidden, connect each section of garden and offer a great place for children to play hide and seek, while a period style greenhouse, vegetable plot and small orchard are perfect for any budding horticulturist.

The grounds provide many places to enjoy the sun or the shade, between pretty trees, lush shrubs or on manicured lawns. Two ponds with water features, a rose garden and Wisteria also feature throughout the garden and further out buildings include a useful shed providing storage for garden furniture and a lawn mower and a separate double garage with timber carport approach.
