A STUNNING house in one of Herefordshire's beautiful black and white villages is for sale with a £1.4 million price tag.
Situated on the edge of Dilwyn, near Leominster, noted for its historic timber-framed buildings arranged around a village green, the eight-bed house is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside.
Hill Top is a handsome Georgian house with Edwardian bays and more recent additions. Refurbished, it now offers nearly 6000 sq ft of beautifully presented family accommodation, agents Knight Frank said.
On Zoopla, it said the house had an excellent combination of quality designer fittings and period features.
"A long driveway leads to impressive pillared wrought iron entrance gates and then to an extensive gravelled apron on the south east side of the house," it said.
"A secondary pillared entrance gives access to a courtyard behind the house.
"Outbuildings include a period oak framed Barn with 5 bays and incorporate the old stable with the cobbled floor, former cart shed and fuel store.
"A timber framed former Cider House now comprises a garden store and an office. It has planning consent for conversion to ancillary residential accommodation. There is current planning consent for a garage with a games room over."
It added: "The gardens and grounds surround the house and provide an attractive setting. On the south east side of the house steps lead from the gravelled apron down to level lawns and grassed areas surrounded by mature ornamental trees.
"Behind the house is a large lawn adjoined by a pasture paddock. The drive is flanked by two further paddocks. In all about 6.75 acres."
The house itself has a cellar below the ground floor.
The ground floor is made up of the kitchen, reception hall, drawing room, play room, boot room, utility, shower, dining room, conservatory and garden room.
Upstairs on the first floor are three bedrooms, the master with ensuite and dressing room, as well as a study and bathroom.
Five more bedrooms can be found on the second floor, as well as a second bathroom.
Amenities in Dilwyn village include The Crown pub (owned by the parish council), St Mary's Church and a primary school.
More comprehensive facilities can be found nearby in the market towns of Kington and Leominster and the Cathedral City Hereford, which is the cultural and economic hub for the county and has all the facilities one would expect of an important regional centre.
