Believed to date back to the early 19th century, Hilton House is an imposing classical Dorset country property constructed of brick elevations under a slate roof.
Accommodation is spread over three levels, and period features include sash windows, window shutters and attractive cornicing. Ceiling height French windows open onto the front lawn from the sitting room and the drawing room.
The entire property has been recently refurbished and both the kitchen and the master suite have been extensively modernised. Five further bedrooms and two further bathrooms complete the bedroom accommodation; the two-bedroom cottage provides overflow accommodation as well as an area of private garden.
Accommodation in total comprises: entrance hall, drawing room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and cellar, plus the master bedroom suite, five further bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Outside, the gardens include a flagged terrace to the rear and extensive lawns feature specimen trees and offer far-reaching views to the adjoining farmland. The walled garden provides a very good position for the all-weather tennis court. The gardens and grounds come to nearly three acres.
The house is located in the small Dorset village of Hilton, just two miles from Milton Abbas and eight miles from Blandford Forum.
The guide price is £2m. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01935 812 236 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
