A Striking Period Stone Farmhouse Featuring Extensive Outbuildings And Paddock

Property
Hill Farm House, which is unlisted, is a most attractive period property, constructed of local stone beneath a slate roof, and set in the heart of the highly regarded village of Brigstock. The house combines character features with practical modern living, including herringbone parquet flooring and well-proportioned period fireplaces. Extending to over 7,000 sq ft in total, when including an extensive range of stone barns and outbuildings, the property offers considerable flexibility, whether for ancillary accommodation, storage or home-based enterprise, subject to the usual consents.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom, leading through to a formal dining room with direct access to the gardens. Adjacent is a generous sitting room, centred on an elegant fireplace, which in turn connects to a further reception room with double-glazed doors opening onto the garden. The kitchen forms the natural hub of the house, well appointed with contemporary cabinetry, a large range cooker and integrated appliances, and is complemented by a separate utility room. French doors open onto the terrace.

On the first floor there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, each served by its own en suite bath or shower room. The principal suite is particularly spacious, with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and a modern bathroom.

Outside
The grounds are a notable feature of the property, comprising formal lawned gardens, a large gravel courtyard providing ample parking, and a paddock suited to equestrian or recreational use. The outbuildings are extensive and include a substantial three-storey barn currently used for storage and office space, together with stabling, a tack room and a large greenhouse. These buildings provide excellent scope for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

In addition, the property enjoys a beautifully established garden, thoughtfully planted with a small orchard of apple, plum, walnut and quince trees. It also features a productive asparagus bed, flourishing red and yellow raspberry canes, and a vibrant display of dahlias, creating a space that is both highly productive and full of seasonal colour.
