Occupying an elevated position on the southern slopes of the Polden Hills, Hillside Cottage is a distinctive period home set within grounds of approximately one acre. Dating back to the 17th century and later extended, the property offers extensive and versatile accommodation. A particular feature is the striking tower wing, creating a unique living space with far reaching panoramic views. The house combines character with flexibility, ideal for family living or multi-generational use. Offered with no onward chain, this is a property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

**Accommodation**
The property retains much of its original character, with the principal accommodation arranged within the original cottage. The entrance porch opens into a reception hall leading through to a substantial sitting and dining room extending to over 30 feet in length, featuring exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces, one housing a woodburning stove. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of units, breakfast bar and integrated appliances, with access to a cloakroom, and rear door leading to the courtyard and gardens beyond. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a further entrance hall, a bedroom and a useful store or study, offering flexibility depending on requirements.
The first floor of the original house provides two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower. The property is then complemented by the impressive tower wing, which adds a further dimension to the accommodation. Accessed via its own entrance and linked internally, this section includes additional bedrooms, bathroom facilities and a stone spiral staircase rising through the tower. At the top is a remarkable room with windows to three sides, enjoying panoramic views across the surrounding countryside towards the Quantock and Blackdown Hills. This space is particularly versatile, lending itself equally well as a principal bedroom, sitting room or study, and could, subject to any necessary consents, be adapted for independent use.

**Outside**
The property stands within grounds of approximately one acre, offering a combination of formal garden, orchard and more natural areas. A central courtyard provides a sheltered and private space, with vehicular access through the house leading to garaging and outbuildings. The gardens are well established with mature trees, shrubs and hedging, providing a good degree of privacy, while the wider grounds include areas of lawn and meadow. The setting takes full advantage of the elevated position, with far reaching views across open countryside, creating a peaceful and rural environment.

**Material Information**


**Identity Verification**
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
