Embellished with period charm and situated in the centre of town, close to Blenheim Palace’s expansive grounds, Hill Crest is a delightful honey hued stone cottage just a stone’s throw from the plethora of amenities that Woodstock has to offer, including shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants and art galleries.
On approach, its handsome double fronted façade sits effortlessly in a row of quintessential stone cottages and houses. Entry is via an attractive timber door that opens directly to a large entrance hall that doubles as a second reception room. The welcoming space is adorned with character features, setting a tone for the rooms beyond with its feature fireplace and impressive collection of timber beams and exposed stone which can be found throughout the home.
To the right of the plan is the main reception room welcoming plenty of natural light via its south facing window, dressed with plantation shutters. There’s a fitted bookcase and a further exposed stone fireplace which is cleverly being utilised as a media unit.
At the rear of the plan is a kitchen/family room that opens to a glass roof rear extension. Awash with natural light, the space is ‘the heart of the home’, overlooking the tranquil rear garden. There’s a breakfast bar, modern kitchen cabinetry with timber worktops and tiled flooring throughout. Additionally, there’s is a ground floor bathroom.
A basement room can be accesses from the main entrance hall with a barrelled ceiling and fitted storage. The space has been converted to a home office but would suit a variety of uses.
On the first floor there’s a wet room and two bedrooms, both with fitted storage. The principal bedroom has a feature fireplace, and the second bedroom is currently being used as a dressing room. Whilst the bathrooms would benefit from modernisation, they provide a blank canvas for prospective buyers to make their own mark.
Externally, the rear garden is an oasis of calm, split over two tiers with multiple seating areas, clever storage, and views towards the water meadows.
