Description Hilltown Farm is a lifestyle farm that offers flexibility and multiple income opportunities. The 5 bed grade II listed Georgian farmhouse constructed of natural stone and cob offers spacious accommodation, recently extended to include an impressive double height ceiling, large dining room and second sitting room. The layout of the farm flows well around a traditional courtyard that has been newly resurfaced. The farm is well equipped and benefits from excellent equestrian facilities which include extensive stabling, an all weather ménage, productive pasture land and further outbuildings. There is potential to further enhance the equestrian aspect of the farm by opening up what was a previous stretch of gallops through the farm. The farm would equally lend itself well to a livestock enterprise. Hilltown Farm also offers further income streams through the established holiday letting business. Converted in 2011, Owl’s Nest and Rook’s Nest provide attractive income to the holding. The three bed, and the two bed properties are finished to a high standard with open plan kitchen/dining rooms that have modern kitchen units and newly appointed bathrooms. The separate parking and private gardens to each property ensure guests have a feeling of privacy and space. There is a separate driveway for guests which allows separation from the farmhouse. Bookings come in through the vendors own website and another booking agency which has worked well for the last 7 years. The current owners have also been granted a full planning application to convert further buildings to holiday lets. Further details and drawings available from the agent Savills.
