Hill Farm impresses from the moment you drive along the gravelled approach. A pond is seen to your right, gardens awash with colour to your left and then your eye is not only drawn to the view but to the house, that stands large and commanding, sitting centrally in its plot. As you leave your car, you will gaze across the neighbouring fields, towards the River Severn, all the while appreciating how open the landscape is. Turning back to the house, this red brick farmhouse which has been added to throughout its life, is welcoming.

Stepping through the back door into the scullery, further doors can be found that lead to a cloakroom and a pantry. Another door leads to the garden and finally, the last door takes you into the attached barn. The barn, with its original stone apple press, is untouched and yet offers so much potential and choice as you question what to do with it. Is this to become the kitchen, is it another reception room or could it be a gym? The choices are endless.

Moving into the main house, the rooms are traditional in appearance. The three reception rooms have either open fires or log burner sat into stone fireplaces with the floorings being either wooden or flagstone. Finally this floor is completed by the entrance porch and hallways, kitchen and garden room. Upstairs there are five bedrooms (one bedroom is accessed off another), all of which are light and all are double rooms. Bedroom two offers an en suite shower room and the floor is completed by the family bathroom. The views from all of the rooms are splendid and are either of the gardens or the open and extended landscape.

Stepping outside once again, the rear garden is mature and colourful. There is a variety of mature plants, trees and shrubs. A vegetable garden is located to the head of the garden while there is also an area of hard standing found directly behind the double garage. Furthermore, to the side of the formal garden is another large area, laid to lawn and encompassing walnut, mulberry, medlar, cherry apple, pear and damson trees. This section of garden is also accessible from a five bar gate off the lane at the front and in the past has been used by the owners as a pony paddock.

Hill Farm is an exceptional property that has all the charm and character one would expect of a house this age. Along with this, it also allows one to place their own stamp on the property, to integrate the new and the old in seamless fashion.
