SELLERS INSIGHT
We fell in love with our home on the day we viewed it on a snowy December day in 2010. It was warm, inviting and welcoming which we have felt ever since. From the quirky rooms to the fantastic views, from the lovely rural location to the quietness and seclusion it is wonderful and we’ll miss it.

STEP INSIDE

As soon as you study the floorplans, you begin to appreciate the individuality and slightly quirky layout of Heniton Hill Cottage, but it's when you visit in person that the full charm becomes clear. The layout cleverly combines a sense of space with cosier corners, offering nearly 2,600 sq ft of living accommodation that's both sociable and peaceful with views from every room.

A smart, contemporary kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, with electric Aga for cooking and double doors opening directly onto the gardens and enjoying views across the countryside beyond. The generous sitting room is perfect for gatherings, with ample space for family and friends, and another set of doors leading out to the gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Located to the rear of the kitchen is the utility and cloak room.

To the rear of the house, two further versatile rooms provide ideal spaces for dining and working from home, giving flexibility to suit a range of lifestyle needs.

On the first floor, you'll find five bedrooms, each with its own individual charm and all enjoying wonderful views across the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite and a useful dressing area, creating a peaceful and private retreat. A further well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms and includes both a separate bath and a walk-in shower, ideal for busy mornings or relaxing evenings.

STEP OUTSIDE
From the moment you arrive and step out onto the driveway, you're greeted by the peaceful rural setting and sweeping countryside views in every direction.
The property sits in a generous plot of just over a third of an acre, with beautifully kept gardens that follow the sun throughout the day.

An elevated summer house with a decked terrace provides the perfect spot to unwind with an evening drink and take in the sunset. The further up the garden you go, the more breath-taking the views become. The detached garage and workshop also feature a separate studio/living space above, deal for guests, working from home, or potential income with open work/living space and en-suite shower room.

To the front of the garage/studio a blocked paved driveway provides parking for a number of vehicles.
