THE PROPERTY
Hill House is a fine example of a Neo Georgian country home constructed 60 years ago to a traditional design with paneled mahogany doors, marble fireplaces, high ceilings with elaborate cornicing and even servants’ bells. The property stands within private grounds taking full advantage of its beautiful views over farmland and the Colne Valley.
Approached via an impressive 230-metre private drive, Hill House is an attractive country residence constructed of brick beneath a parapet slate roof, occupying an enviable rural position amidst approximately 4.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and gardens.
The house provides generous and versatile accommodation, with a number of particularly impressive reception rooms. The reception hall creates an elegant first impression, whilst the study provides a quiet and well-appointed space. The capacious dining room and triple-aspect drawing room, together with the adjoining garden room, all enjoy wonderful views across the gardens and surrounding farmland.
A particular feature is the self-contained one-bedroom ancillary accommodation, which has its own private entrance whilst also being readily accessible from the main house. This versatile space has previously been utilised as staff accommodation but could equally be incorporated into the principal residence according to the requirements of the next owner. An attractive orangery provides a further delightful space from which to enjoy the gardens.
On the first floor are three bedroom suites, including an extensive principal suite incorporating a dressing room, bathroom with bath and separate shower, and an infra-red sauna. There are a further three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with all bedrooms benefiting from extensive built-in wardrobes. The bedrooms to the front enjoy views across the gardens, whilst those to the rear overlook the beautiful Colne Valley.
Agent’s Note: The property has recently benefited from the installation of a new heating system.
Outside
The grounds are a particular highlight of Hill House. The current owners have created beautifully landscaped gardens, complemented by an irrigation system, carefully positioned lighting and attractive water features. The gardens provide a wonderful setting for both formal entertaining and family enjoyment.
The leisure facilities are equally impressive, with a heated swimming pool and tennis court, whilst extensive garaging provides parking for a number of vehicles.
In all, Hill House occupies an exceptional plot approaching 4.5 acres, combining privacy, amenity and an attractive rural setting within easy reach of Colchester.
Location
