4 Bedroom Detached House

Set in a highly desirable position along Hele Road, on the edge of the sought-after village of Marhamchurch, Hillcot is an individual four-bedroom residence offering generous and versatile accommodation, set within gardens and grounds extending to over half an acre. The property has been thoughtfully enhanced and extended in 2012 and again in 2024, whilst retaining much of its original character and charm.

Upon entering, a light-filled, triple-aspect reception space provides an inviting introduction to the house. Created as part of the more recent extension, this versatile area is currently used as additional dining space but would work equally well as a study or informal reception area. From here, the accommodation flows through to the kitchen/dining room and adjoining lounge, where exposed timber beams and stonework are complemented by a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and characterful focal point.

Further reception space is provided by an impressive sitting room with a vaulted ceiling. Sliding doors open directly onto the adjoining decking and gardens, creating a connection between the house and its surroundings, making an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from vaulted ceilings, underfloor heating and fitted storage. Here, there are two further well-proportioned bedrooms, together with the family bathroom.

Ascending the split-level accommodation, there is a further bedroom, utility and shower room, benefiting from independent external access. The utility area provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with useful storage space. This part of the property offers considerable versatility and could lend itself particularly well to guest accommodation, older children, home working or multi-generational living.

Outside, Hillcot occupies an attractive plot extending to over half an acre, with established gardens wrapping around the property. The property benefits from two separate vehicular accesses, with a tarmac driveway to the side leading to an area where planning permission has been granted for the construction of a double garage, while a further driveway to the front provides additional off-road parking for several vehicles.

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature shrubs, planting and established boundaries. Decking and paved seating areas immediately adjoin the house, providing ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining. From here, the gardens extend away from the property with a pathway meandering through the gardens to the upper boundary, where a private gate provides direct access onto the Hele Valley Trail. A range of useful storage sheds provides additional practicality.

Occupying a quiet and highly desirable edge-of-village position, Hillcot combines the character of an established home with the space and versatility required for modern family living. Marhamchurch and the surrounding countryside provide an attractive setting, while the Bude Canal towpath, cycle routes, South West Coast Path, town centre amenities and renowned beaches of the North Cornwall coast are all within easy reach.
