Description 

Entering the house via the front door into an inner lobby, which has an attractive glass door leading through to the main entrance hall with feature staircase rising to the upper floors and period parquet floors. 

The main rooms of the ground floor are all set off the hall, giving a generous and airy feel. To the front of the house on the eastern side is a reception room with bay window looking towards the south. There are excellent bookshelves handmade in the Arts and Crafts style, oak engineered flooring and a wood burning stove. 

To the opposite side of the hall with a side aspect to the gardens and views to the south and west is the study, again with wood burning stove. 

At the back of the hall is a wonderful sitting room which again has lovely views and a wood burning stove.   

A door at the rear of the hall leads through to a Butler’s serving pantry and also the kitchen which has plenty of space to dine and is well-fitted with a comprehensive range of units, Silestone worktops, Bosch dishwasher, integrated fridge freezer and double oven.   A doorway leads through to the good-sized utility room and a back door leading out to the gravelled parking area. 

Climbing the attractive period timber staircase, the half landing splits to give two sides to the bedroom accommodation. To your left, you find two very generous double aspect bedrooms both enjoying views across the countryside to the south and east.    

At the western side of the first floor is the good-sized master bedroom with en suite shower room, built-in wardrobes and shelving completing the picture. 

On the other side of the split landing you find a smaller double bedroom and a family bathroom with corner bath and shower.  

The top floor provides some excellent and really versatile accommodation.  Here you find a fresh and tidy kitchenette and breakfast room with hob, microwave, integrated fridge and sink with units.  There is a wonderful double bedroom (5) and a shower room.  Also off the top landing is a gorgeous little attic space with delightful windows in the eaves roof space.  

Outside 

From the back door and across the gravel drive is a fantastic self-contained annexe which our client has used for many years as a yoga studio. Clearly it could provide a number of uses, be that an art studio or extra accommodation for teenagers. To one end there is a shower room and also an independent boiler. 

The gardens and grounds of Red Hill House are particularly magical.  There are various lawned areas and some wild parts, fantastic for nature and children building camps.  There are a variety of fine trees and shrubs and the whole feeling is very naturalistic.  Up at the top of the garden there is large greenhouse, a masonry built shed which attaches to the yoga studio and a timber sauna. A raised deck above the vegetable patch is an ideal place to sit and enjoy the views and surrounding countryside. 

Access to Redhill House is via electric gates which open to ample driveway parking. Positioned near to the house is a rainwater harvesting tank ideal for watering the gardens.
