Description

Hope Cottage is an individual detached home, built in the mid-1990s and forming part of an exclusive gated courtyard development of just three properties. Offering flexible and well-proportioned accommodation over two floors, the property is well suited to a range of buyers.
A welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms. The open-plan kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of base and wall units with integrated appliances, while French doors open outdoors. The spacious sitting room enjoys a bay window, wood-burning stove and French doors to the garden. A versatile office, which could also serve as a ground floor bedroom, sits just off the kitchen, with a utility room and two cloakrooms completing the ground floor.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage and an en suite bathroom with twin wash hand basins. Two further double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, are served by the family shower room.

Outside

The property occupies an enviable position at the end of a private courtyard and benefits from a garage, carport and parking for approximately three vehicles. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a paved patio providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with a greenhouse and well-stocked borders of mature shrubs and bushes.
Beyond the garden lies a productive orchard with a variety of fruit trees and a useful timber outbuilding. A particular feature of the property is the adjoining paddock, extending to approximately 1.5 acres, which is accessed directly from the garden and also benefits from separate vehicular access via Church Lane.

The property may also be available without the land, subject to separate negotiation. Interested parties are invited to contact the agents to discuss this option further.
