Ashcombe Hill House
Wintersett Lane, Halbourne
£1,150,000
Freehold · 5 bed · 3 bath
Ashcombe Hill House was built for a mill manager and has been in two families since. The principal rooms all face the valley, which is why the drawing room holds light from breakfast to dusk in December and the kitchen loses it before ten.
The roof was relaid in 2019 and the sash windows were overhauled at the same time. Oil-fired heating, mains water and drainage. There is a detached coach house at the top of the drive with power and a water supply, currently used for storage.
Room by room, by the light
The hours each room takes direct sun on the shortest day, computed from its window's bearing. The longer the interval, the more of the year that room is bright.
