Hickory Hill, a private antebellum estate tucked away in pastoral Nottoway County, is comprised of nearly 60 acres of rolling pasture, mature woodlands and a fish-stocked pond. A paved, crape myrtle-lined drive leads to a majestic 1830s-era brick Federal period house surrounded by numerous outbuildings, some older than the house itself. Originally owned by prominent planter Sharpe Carter, father of Col. William R. Carter, Commander of Co E 3rd VA Cavalry, it was later owned by Major Leroy Long, all of whom are buried in the Civil War-period cemetery on the property. A classic 2-over-2 floor plan distinguishes the original part of the house where 10-ft ceilings, handsome mill work and wide heart pine floors are among the architectural features that captivate. A gracious center Entry Hall bisects the house, separating a banquet scale Dining Room and formal Living Room, with wood burning and gas FPs and modern conveniences such as new Andersen windows. On the second floor, 2 large bedrooms (18' x 18' each) now have access to a new (2018) Hall Bath with heart pine floors, French dresser vanity, glass shower and linen closet. Also added in 2018, a Sun Room offers wrap around views of the farm via 8 sets of deep transomed windows - a perfect spot to savor the landscape in every season. A 1950s addition at the rear of the structure houses a Breakfast Room, updated Kitchen, Study and large Bath with deep soaking tub, stall shower and lengthy vanity. Outdoor entertaining is always on tap on the dreamy Screened Porch and adjoining Deck, while endless recreation awaits at the stocked Pond with Pier and indoor/outdoor Pavilion. An oversized 2-C Garage connects to the house by way of a convenient partially covered walkway. Ideal as a guest house or in-law suite, the charming historic Summer Kitchen with first floor seating area and full bath, large bunk room on second, is ripe for your creative vision.
