A charming period home with origins dating back to around 1800, with a large
south facing walled garden and a spacious interior of over 2400sqft. A stone's
throw from the town centre and Hillworth Park, this attractive Grade II Listed
family home boasts some wonderfully characterful rooms but is now ready for a
new owner to modernise the interior to their own specific tastes and
requirements.
Set off the generous reception hall is a 19ft dual aspect drawing room with an
attractive fireplace and a bay window and a further bay fronted sitting room
with fine views down the garden to the rear (this room is also dual aspect and
has a fireplace). There is a separate dining room that leads into a fitted
galley kitchen. Subject to planning you could extend the kitchen out to the
side. In addition there is a good sized cellar, a downstairs cloakroom plus a
useful outside WC (attached to the back of the kitchen). On the first floor,
four sizeable double bedrooms are completed by a family bathroom with bath and
separate shower. A cupboard on the first floor has fixed wooden steps up to an
attic.
Outside, Hillworth Lodge enjoys a wonderfully private, mature garden that is
mostly walled. It is south facing too and features a number of areas to take
in the sun, with a patio sun terrace, level lawns, established borders, trees
and plants.
Importantly there was previously planning granted at the top of the garden for
a private driveway and parking which has now lapsed which has the potential to
be reinstated (subject to the relevant consents being granted again).
