A sense of privacy and privilege prevail here. Hill House’s two acres are ripe for exploration. The terrace invites al fresco dining. The huge heated pool awaits your first cooling dive in summer. The hot tub bubbles all year round, and overlooks the pretty lawn. An astroturf court enables tennis at any time.
You can step out from the Drawing Room and Kitchen onto a big terrace with a barbecue and plenty of tables and chairs for al fresco dining.
There’s a massive lawn with plenty of room for games or just running around, and the two acres of mature gardens to explore and enjoy are a child’s dream come true.
The huge (12m by 6m) heated outdoor pool is set in a suntrap a short way from the house, fenced in for safety. There is a changing room and outdoor shower.
Close by is the astroturf tennis court – racquets and balls are provided. And the Games Room is just across from the house, with table tennis, pool and table football.
Filled with oak floors, Designers Guild furniture, Italian sofas, contemporary art, nooks and crannies to curl up in and an impressive library to delve into – the reception rooms offer spaces and places for everyone to enjoy.
There’s a huge Drawing Room, with luxury Italian leather sofas, an oak floor, a big Cotswold stone fireplace and amazing views across to the Cotswold Hills.
There are floor to ceiling French windows on three sides of the room, opening up onto the terrace on one side. Plus a 50″ TV with full Sky package, Apple hi-fi and lots of children’s toys, books and dvds. Next to the Drawing Room is a huge library of books and a very good piano.
From the library you can step through to the Snug, which is a charming room in the oldest part of the house, with ancient flagstones, more books and lovely views onto the garden. You’ll also appreciate the big home cinema with full Sky package, including movies, sport and Sky Plus.
There’s even wireless broadband and an iPod dockstation – just dock your iPod and let your tunes fill the house.
