Hilltop is approached from a country lane and occupies a prominent position within beautiful Hampshire chalk downland. The location is a principal feature of this rural property which enjoys a peaceful position with magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Lying between Sutton Scotney and Micheldever there are local amenities and fast access to Winchester from here.

The gardens extend to 1.66 acres and surround the house with a southerly terrace being the prime spot to sit and enjoy the variety of colour from a range of trees and the changing seasons. The boundary hedge has been planted with indigenous trees and shrubs and part of the garden has been left as a wild flower meadow with pathways meandering through.

Hilltop dates from the 1930s and the later additions play their part in providing spacious family accommodation. The reception hall is partly open plan to the drawing room, separated by a fireplace with wood burning stove. For quieter moments there is a cosy sitting room, also with a wood burning stove. The kitchen is perfectly in keeping with the house and location with a range of cream fronted units with granite work surfaces, an Aga and an adjacent utility room with access to the garden and into the double length garage. A formal dining room is perfectly proportioned for a long table and it is easy to imagine noisy family gatherings in this room.

Stairs from the hall rise to the first floor which takes advantage of the space over the garage and is arranged as five good size bedrooms, with a guest suite and a family bathroom. The master suite has the luxury of a fitted dressing room and very large bathroom complete with a large shower and deep bath set on a heated limestone floor.
