The House
Hillside is believed to date from the 17th century and is beautifully presented. It is not listed. The present owners
purchased the property in 2019 and have since refurbished the house. They have added the outdoor heated pool, built the large excellent five/six car garage, added five studios, and purchased the field, stables and re-built the barn.

The accommodation is particularly attractive and arranged over three floors, with the second floor approached from
the first floor over two staircases. The interior is charming and has a warm and friendly atmosphere. There are
flagstone floors, a solid oak floor and a log burning stove in the sitting room, and a further central log burning stove separates the sitting room and breakfast kitchen/dining room. The breakfast kitchen is extremely well fitted and
has an island unit with breakfast bar. Integral appliances include a Falcon range cooker, fridge/freezer and a washing machine. A separate dining area has French windows opening to the garden.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, and family bathroom. The second floor is approached over two staircases, each leading to a bedroom.

Gardens
Hillside is approached through double solid timber electric gates which open to a large parking area, lawns interspersed with ornamental trees, and the detached garage block which comprises the excellent home office, and parking for five/six cars. The garage has secure parking with one single and two electric double roller doors. Off the home office is a wine cellar/store.

Lying adjacent to the office/garage block is the detached summer house overlooking the heated pool. The summer house is extremely well presented in an open plan contemporary style with vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses. It has a shower room, a fitted kitchen area with oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher, and bifold doors open to the paved surround of the swimming pool. Adjoining the summer house, at the rear, is a workshop/studio which would easily convert to a bedroom, subject to planning permission. An outside w.c./changing room, and boiler/ pump room with air source heat pump also adjoin.

The rear gardens face west with a south aspect. Immediately at the rear is a flagstone area and a further flagstone area with brick-built barbecue and pizza oven, all ideal for entertaining. Beyond, there is a lovely wide open outlook over the garden, which is laid principally to a large expanse of lawn interspersed with mature and ornamental trees which lead down to a mixed orchard of apple, pear and plum. There is a natural pond.

Equine Facilities
From the garden, a bridge leads to the field to the west, which has separate vehicular access from Berwick Lane. There is a timber stable block with two stables and a central hay store/potential third stable. Opposite is a substantial timber hay barn/implement machinery store.

Studios/Workshop
The studios/workshop are grouped together in its own grounds away from the house and are situated to the north of the property. They have their own secure parking and access, and there are lawns interspersed with pathways. There are nine attractive and well-presented cabin style studios, a workshop and two shepherd huts, let to artisans on an informal basis. There are two outside w.c.'s.

Estate Living
The vendors currently let out the studios as a business called Hillside Creatives, which brings in approximately £45,000 per annum.

Planning
Planning permission was granted on 18th April 2024 from South Gloucestershire Council to create a two storey extension at the rear, to provide a larger sitting room with bedroom suite above. Planning application reference P24/00113/HH.
