This substantial and characterful stone built Grade II listed period home dating back to the early 17th century and mentioned in Pevsners Architectural Guide to the Buildings of England offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of history in the sought-after village of Belton, nestled in the beautiful county of Rutland. With an impressive eight bedrooms set across three floors, charming reception rooms, and wonderful potential in the outbuildings, Hillcrest is a home of both grandeur and flexibility.
Stepping inside, the ground floor immediately impresses with its sense of scale and charm. A welcoming hallway leads to elegant reception rooms, full of character with open fireplaces, creating warm and inviting spaces for entertaining and family life. A large kitchen, complete with an AGA, together with an adjoining utility, provides the heart of the home, while access from here leads to the substantial double garage and workshop.
The cellar offers excellent storage or the potential to create a wine cellar or hobby space, adding to the versatility of this remarkable home.
On the first floor, you'll find four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a guest bedroom with en suite facilities, offering privacy and comfort. The remaining bedrooms on this floor are served by a family bathroom, making it ideal for family life and visiting guests.
The second floor provides four further bedrooms, one benefitting from its own WC, making it an ideal guest suite or private study area. This floor offers flexibility to suit modern living needs, whether that be home working, creative studios, or quiet retreats.
Outside, the property is complemented by a large garden, offering both space and tranquility, perfect for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. A separate barn also offers exciting potential for conversion into an annexe, studio, or home office-subject to the necessary planning permissions. Ample off-road parking is also available.
