Hill House is an attractive detached period property standing in an excellent position on Bath Hill within a few minutes walking distance of the Town Centre with its range of shops and amenities, Memorial Park and railway station. The Wellsway School Complex is also within easy reach making this a prime position in the Town.
The house has a grand Georgian façade and internally offers commodious accommodation with a great deal of inherent versatility arranged over three main floors and a basement extending in total to circa 2300 sqft. The house is approached from the front through an entrance hall which is flanked by two good size reception rooms and leads to large family kitchen which has direct access to the rear garden. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities with the others easily capable of forming a suite with a bathroom and a separate shower. The second floor has three further bedrooms two of which have en suite shower rooms. The attic is partly utilised as a characterful office/study. The basement level has a double length garage with concertina doors to both front and rear providing both access to the rear garden and the opportunity to park further vehicles behind the house. There is also a partly converted self contained flatlet on this level.
Approached from Bath Hill there is parking to the front of the house but what is not apparent from the roadside view is the good size rear garden which offers enormous scope for landscaping by keen gardeners and has the advantage of a gated vehicular access off Bath Hill East Car Park allowing the opportunity to park numerous vehicles and also giving the site development potential, subject to obtaining necessary planning consents.

Outside -
To the FRONT of the property there is a walled boundary to Bath Hill. The front garden is laid predominate to pavings to facilitate off street parking. Steps with metal railings lead to a terrace at the front of the house providing access to the front door.
The REAR GARDEN is a good size and comprises a decked terrace with timber balustrade immediately to the rear of the family kitchen with a magnolia tree to one side. This leads to a paved patio beyond which the garden offers great scope for further landscaping by keen gardeners. There is further driveway space accessed through the garage from the front. A side access which is presently blocked up could be re opened to provide a front to the rear access other than through the garage.
Within the rear garden are trees, a shed and summerhouse. The garden backs onto Bath Hill East Car Park and there are double gates providing a vehicular access. In our opinion there is scope to create further parking and garaging and development potential in the longer term (subject to obtaining necessary planning consents).
