Idyllic location-three bedroom house & one bed cottage in secluded location at Pylle near Pilton

Property Summary

Hillbury Cottage was once a woodman's cottage and as a consequence has a lot of amazing original features. The house has lovely views across to the church, over open fields and is in a private, very peaceful setting. Over the years the property has been substantially extended and refurbished so that it now provides accommodation for modern living whilst retaining bags of character. The main features are the fantastic large floor to ceiling windows in both the sitting room and master bedroom which give wonderful views over fields- no curtains needed! The farm house style kitchen has handmade cupboards and attractive light coloured flagstones. The whole house is immaculately presented.



The separate accommodation is a small cottage providing a kitchenette, sitting room/bedroom and shower room. This could either be a large office, overspill accommodation or could provide an income stream.



Outside

The gardens of about half an acre have been carefully landscaped and are a particular feature especially as they also have a stream and natural wooded area on the boundary.

The timber framed garage will easily take 2 cars and provides outdoor storage – one of the store rooms could easily be converted into an office. 

The icing on the cake is the wooden gazebo adjacent to the decked patio which is a perfect spot for evening drinks!
