Blackhill House is a most attractive Regency stucco village house which is believed to have been constructed c. 1830. The impressive reception space and family accommodation is arranged over two floors and spans to an impressive 4050 sq ft.
The house enjoys a wealth of character features externally, including French windows with cornices, pilasters and elaborate fretted and plumed Neo-Classical style cast iron flower guards. The principal rooms feature period fireplaces and high ceilings with original coving and cornicing. The
property opens via an elegant entrance porch with pilasters featuring cornice and pineapple finials to a large entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. To one side is a useful family/sitting room. To the other side of the entrance hall is a spacious and attractive drawing room including a high corniced ceiling, fireplace, French windows to the front and a French door leading onto a terrace that skirts the South-Westerly side of the house and overlooks the garden. The drawing room in turn leads through double doors to the exquisite kitchen with six stunning full length windows that overlook the garden and French doors that lead to the rear terrace overlooking the pool.
The bespoke handmade Martin Moore kitchen/breakfast room is just superb, sumptuous in design, eye catching and extremely practical with ample storage cupboards, built in appliances and larder along with generous preparation areas with central island.
Also opening from the entrance hall are the dining room, study, family room, utility room, downstairs cloakroom and access to the cellar.
On the first floor, the main suite provides a bedroom with en suite shower room, the fifth bedroom is currently being used as a dressing room. Additionally there are three further double bedrooms of which one has an en suite bathroom and then a large modern family bathroom services the other two rooms.
Outside
The property is approached through electric gates opening to the driveway with a further set of gates giving onto the old stable block courtyard. The stables have been converted to provide garaging with ancillary accommodation above in the form of bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and sitting room. Skirting the property is a substantial terrace bordered by well stocked flower-beds overlooking a lawn area which benefits from a South-Westerly aspect. The lawns are bordered by mature trees such as Magnolias and Azaleas. The design and planting reveals a delightful garden upon which a great deal of knowledge and care has been lavished.
To the rear of the house is a heated swimming pool surrounded by a flagstone terrace and pool pavilion. Behind the pool is a large lawn area again bordered by mature trees and shrubbery. Additionally there is a small kitchen garden with greenhouse and various fruit trees.
