PILLINGS HOUSE

Pillings House is situated in a quiet position on the edge of West Bradford Village. This Grade II listed family property is well proportioned with a superb mix of traditional features and modern touches which bring this family home up to date for 2023.

KEY FEATURES

Pillings House has been upgraded and renovated to a high standard and now has a well-balanced mix of traditional and contemporary styling still retaining much of the character and charm derived from its 1722 Georgian origins but with an attention to detail and quality of fit and finish that is clearly evident.

The accommodation briefly comprises:-

The main entrance leads directly into the sitting room where a superb Inglenook fireplace greets with a modern log burner installed. The flagged floors with underfloor heating and stone mullion windows with window seats provide a homely feel. Off to one side of the sitting room is a study or playroom and to the other, is access to the dining kitchen. The kitchen and dining room were originally separate but now flow together and offer the much sought after modern kitchen dining experience. The dining area has exposed wooden floors and mullion windows with an arch that opens onto the kitchen which also has flagged stone floors and a Chalon bespoke kitchen. Off from the kitchen is the rear hall which is used as the everyday entrance and beyond here is a fully fitted utility room with another external door and cloakroom.

To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, all of which have features such as exposed beams and mullion windows with window seats. The two bathrooms have been finished to a high modern standard and the master bedroom benefits from a walk-through dressing room, which leads to a large end-suite bathroom.

To the second floor there is a landing area that doubles up as an office space. To one side, is the guest bedroom (bedroom 5) which has exposed roof trusses and beams and a well-appointed end-suite bathroom. To the other side of the landing is a children’s playroom and cinema room which makes a great addition of space to the house and could certainly be utilised as a sixth bedroom, if required.
