Historical Significance
Rose Hill House boasts a rich history, with some portions of the property dating back to the 18th Century. Previous owners have thoughtfully expanded and enhanced this residence over the years. Among these notable owners was the esteemed artist John Frye Bourne (1912-1991), who chose to retire in Sidbury in 1956.
Distinctive Features
A grand entrance door, accompanied by a leaded umbrella canopy, welcomes you into a captivating foyer that reveals the original cob construction of the wall—a historical touch rarely found. To your left, a graceful dual-aspect sitting room awaits, featuring an imposing fireplace and a cozy study accessed via a few steps. On the opposite side of the hall, a generously sized dining room sets the stage for cherished family gatherings, adorned with an elegant period fireplace and glazed cabinets.
Kitchen & Conservatory
At the rear of the house, you'll find an L-shaped kitchen-breakfast room with a stunning powder-blue gas-fired Aga as its centrepiece. The kitchen is outfitted with a range of oak-finish cupboards, and a practical utility room stands nearby. A sunlit conservatory on the side beckons you to explore the garden.
Bedroom & Bathrooms
The main house encompasses four spacious double bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. The master bedroom and two others are situated on the first floor, along with a spacious family bathroom and a separate powder room. The fourth bedroom and another bathroom are located on the second floor.
Expansive Gardens
What truly sets Rose Hill House apart is its expansive gardens, spanning just over 1⁄2 an acre. The gardens, painstakingly designed and created in the late 1950s by the Frye Bournes, have matured into a botanical masterpiece. Meandering pathways adorned with pebbles collected from nearby beaches lead to a charming thatched pavilion, an ideal spot to savour the vistas on sunny days. A greenhouse and various small outbuildings provide additional utility.
Thatched Garden Lodge
A unique highlight of this exquisite property is the enchanting thatched garden lodge, believed to have served as Frye Bourne's studio during his time in Sidbury. Today, it offers intriguing guest accommodations with an en-suite double bedroom. This lodge is attached to a modern double garage equipped with a small kitchen at the rear. With a dash of imagination and a bit of effort, this space could be transformed into a fully separate annex, catering to multi-generational family living or even serving as a valuable holiday rental.
